Abstract: An Information Handling System (IHS) display includes an integrated colorimeter that is stored within a front-facing bezel that borders one side of the display screen. The front-facing bezel includes hinged door that conceals a compartment housing a tray. The tray includes a colorimeter and is deployed from the front-facing bezel via the hinged door. With the tray deployed, the colorimeter is raised from the tray and positioned for measuring light emitted by the screen. The deployment of the tray from the front-facing bezel is along an axis perpendicular to the screen and the raising of the colorimeter from the deployed tray is along an axis parallel to the screen. The raised colorimeter may be positioned closer to the screen though movement of the tray along the axis perpendicular to the screen, thus reducing ambient light that reaches a colorimeter sensor of the colorimeter.

Abstract: In a laser beam delivery system for an ophthalmic laser system, a single multi-use beam sampler is employed to form three sampled laser beams, including two for redundant laser energy monitoring and one for laser focal point depth measurement. The beam sampler is a transparent plate with preferably parallel front and back surfaces. The front surface reflects a fraction of the incoming beam to form the first sampled beam toward an energy monitoring detector. The back surface reflects another fraction of the beam to form a second sampled beam exiting backwardly from the front surface toward another energy monitoring detector. An objective lens focuses the transmitted beam onto a target, and collects back reflected or scattered light from the target to form a return beam. The back surface of the beam sampler reflects a fraction of the return beam to form the third sampled beam toward a third detector.

Abstract: Disclosed is a chip-level resonant acousto-optic coupling solid-state wave gyroscope based on MEMS technology. A surface acoustic progressive wave mode sensitive structure and a micro-ring resonant cavity optical detection structure are combined in the gyroscope. Through acousto-optic effect, mechanical strain of the device crystal caused by wave vibration of a primary surface acoustic wave and a secondary surface acoustic wave caused by Coriolis force is converted into a variation in the refractive index of an optical waveguide etched on the device, so that the optical signal transmitted in the waveguide diffracts, thereby generating frequency modulation. Meanwhile, a micro-ring resonant cavity using the resonance principle peels off the frequency change introduced by the primary surface acoustic wave, and obtains an output signal containing external angular velocity information.
