Patent number: 11050219Abstract: A laser device has a photonic crystal surface emitting laser (PCSEL) element. At a first lateral side of the PCSEL element, a reflector is arranged to reflect back into the PCSEL element at least a portion of light travelling out of the PCSEL element through the first lateral side of the PCSEL element. Between the first lateral side of the PCSEL element and the reflector there is interposed an electrically controllable light-transmission region configured to control the transmission of light from the PCSEL element to the reflector, based on an electrical input. Also disclosed is a method of operation of a corresponding laser device.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: The University Court of the University of GlasgowInventors: Richard Hogg, David Childs, Richard Taylor

Patent number: 8566377Abstract: A random number generator circuit includes a first memory having multiple storage elements. Each of the storage elements has an initial state corresponding thereto when powered up by a voltage supply source applied to the first memory. The first memory is operative to generate a first signal including multiple bits indicative of the respective initial states of the storage elements. The random number generator circuit further includes an error correction circuit coupled to the first memory. The error correction circuit is operative to receive the first signal and to correct at least one bit in the first signal that is not repeatable upon successive applications of power to the first memory to thereby generate a second signal. The second signal is a random number that is repeatable upon successive applications of power to the first memory.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Agere Systems LLCInventors: Edward B. Harris, Richard Hogg, Ross A. Kohler, Richard J. McPartland, Wayne E. Werner
