Patents by Inventor Michael Scott Bradley

Michael Scott Bradley has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Absorbing film
    Patent number: 8809876
    Abstract: Materials can be prepared in a layer-by-layer fashion on a patterned first substrate and subsequently transferred to a second substrate. The transfer step can preserve the pattern of the first substrate, such that the second substrate will bear a pattern of the transferred material. The material can be an electrostatic multilayer including a light absorbing dye, such as a J-aggregating cyanine dye.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2014
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Michael Scott Bradley, Jonathan R. Tischler, Vladimir Bulovic
  • High resolution near field scanning optical microscopy
    Patent number: 8693837
    Abstract: An optical fiber including a surface including a non-covalent multilayer including a light-absorbing material can be used to develop fluorescence microscopy with a lateral resolution of about 5 nm and possibly lower. The non-covalent multilayer can be a highly absorptive thin film, for example a film based on J-aggregates, which can be used with conventional Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy.

  • OPTICAL STRUCTURES INCLUDING NANOCRYSTALS
    Publication number: 20140009955
    Abstract: An optical structure can include a nanocrystal on a surface of an optical waveguide in a manner to couple the nanocrystal to the optical field of light propagating through the optical waveguide to generate an emission from the nanocrystal.
