Publication number: 20150310250Abstract: The present invention provides a large format fingerprint capture apparatus, system and method that is low power, compact, and lightweight and has a platen area greater than 3.0 square inches. The present system is typically powered, controlled, and exchanges data over a single data/control/power connection to a host PC, e.g., a desk top computer, PDA, or laptop computer although the system can also be used in a wireless fashion with a power subsystem so no physical connections are required. The system typically includes a light source, a prism, a camera (including the lens), and a case. Optional elements comprise holographic elements such as gratings and holographic optical elements (HOEs), a battery subsystem, magnetic stripe reader, barcode reader, platen heater, platen blower, and mirrors to divert the image beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Richard FENRICH, Nicholas SALERNO, Jeremy HUTCHINS, Michael PEDIGO, Carl GAEBE

Patent number: 7433559Abstract: A temperature-compensated fiber grating package which provides a temperature dependant stress on a fiber Bragg grating to substantially compensate for temperature dependant variations of the Bragg wavelength. The package includes a base, a fiber grating bonded to the base, and a strut. The base is formed from a high thermal expansion material, and includes first and second spaced arms separated by a base portion. The strut is constructed from a low thermal expansion material is disposed between the first and second arms. The ends of the strut engage the interior surfaces of the arms to form left and right fulcrum points. The fiber grating is secured between the first and second arms. As temperature increases, the high thermal expansion material of the arms expands at a greater rate than the low thermal expansion material of the strut. The top portion of at least one of the arms thus pivots inward about a fulcrum point to place the temperature-dependant negative strain on the grating.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventors: Vladimire Pelekhaty, Carl Gaebe

Patent number: 6600604Abstract: An optical filter including a plurality of dielectric layers is provided between first and second substrates. The substrates have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is greater than that of the dielectric layers, and the thicknesses of the substrates are selected to provide compensation for temperature-dependant variations in the center wavelength of the filter. A variety of substrate materials may be used. Quartz is advantageous as a substrate material because it has relatively low loss at wavelengths commonly used in telecommunication systems. Moreover, it is thermally and chemically stable, and has good adhesion to most dielectric films used as quarter and half wave layers. Further, quartz is mechanically tough, relatively inexpensive and readily available. The quartz substrate is cut from a crystal and has an orientation with reduced birefringence.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2000Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventor: Carl Gaebe

Patent number: 6301059Abstract: A lens system defined along an X-Y-Z coordinate system transforms an elliptical optical beam defined as exhibiting a first, fast axis component and a second, slow axis component, into an essentially circular optical beam. A first and a second lens intercepts the elliptical beam and a cruciform cylindrical lens is disposed to intercept the output from the second lens. The cruciform cylindrical lens has a fast lens and a slow lens, the fast lens having a first, front cylindrical surface oriented along the X axis of the coordinate system for magnifying the first, fast axis component, the slow lens having a second, rear cylindrical surface oriented along the Y-axis of the coordinate system for magnifying the second, slow axis component, wherein the magnifications are determined to provide an essentially circular output beam, the cruciform cylindrical lens disposed such that the optical beam exiting the second lens impinges the first, front cylindrical surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Sun-Yuan Huang, Carl Gaebe
