Patent number: 7679067Abstract: A multi-frequency receiver for receiving plural frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light) using a beam of charged particles shared between plural resonant structures. The direction of the beam of charged particles is selectively controlled by at least one deflector. The beam of charged particles passing near the resonant structure is altered on at least one characteristic as a result the presence of the electric field induced on the corresponding resonant structure. Alterations in the beam of charged particles are thus correlated to data values encoded by the electromagnetic radiation.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Virgin Island Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Gorrell, Mark Davidson, Jean Tokarz, Lev Gasparov

Patent number: 7558490Abstract: An electronic receiver for decoding data encoded into light is described. The light is received at an ultra-small resonant structure. The resonant structure generates an electric field in response to the incident light. An electron beam passing near the resonant structure is altered on at least one characteristic as a result of the electric field. Data is encoded into the light by a characteristic that is seen in the electric field during resonance and therefore in the electron beam as it passes the electric field. Alterations in the electron beam are thus correlated to data values encoded into the light.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Virgin Islands Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Gorrell, Mark Davidson, Jean Tokarz, Lev Gasparov

Patent number: 7554083Abstract: A device includes an integrated circuit (IC) and at least one ultra-small resonant structure and a detection mechanism are formed on said IC. At least the ultra-small resonant structure portion of the device is vacuum packaged. The ultra-small resonant structure includes a plasmon detector having a transmission line. The detector mechanism includes a generator mechanism constructed and adapted to generate a beam of charged particles along a path adjacent to the transmission line; and a detector microcircuit disposed along said path, at a location after said beam has gone past said line, wherein the generator mechanism and the detector microcircuit are disposed adjacent transmission line and wherein a beam of charged particles from the generator mechanism to the detector microcircuit electrically couples a plasmon wave traveling along the metal transmission line to the microcircuit. The detector mechanism may be electrically connected to the underlying IC.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2006Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Virgin Islands Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Gorrell, Mark Davidson, Jean Tokarz, Lev Gasparov

Patent number: 7253426Abstract: A device couples energy from an electromagnetic wave to charged particles in a beam. The device includes a micro-resonant structure and a cathode for providing electrons along a path. The micro-resonant structure, on receiving the electromagnetic wave, generates a varying field in a space including a portion of the path. Electrons are deflected or angularly modulated to a second path.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Virgin Islands Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Gorrell, Mark Davidson, Michael Maines, Lev Gasparov, Paul Hart
