  • OPTICAL MODULATOR/DETECTOR BASED ON RECONFIGURABLE DIFFRACTION GRATING
    Publication number: 20110277930
    Abstract: A system is provided for positioning separate portions of a sample in elongate, parallel channels of a sample chamber and for irradiating a sample in the chamber to create a diffraction pattern where the sample and chamber differ in refractive index. The system also can measure absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a sample in the chamber, and can measure the absorption simultaneously with measurement of diffraction by the sample.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 18, 2011
    Publication date: November 17, 2011
    Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Olivier J.A. Schueller, David C. Duffy, John A. Rogers, Scott T. Brittain, George M. Whitesides
