Patent number: 11852842Abstract: A diffractive optic reflex sight (DORS) is provided for aiming devices in which a virtual image, such as a reticle, is produced and appears in the distance of a user's view when looking through the reflex sight. A light source illuminates a diffractive optical element (DOE) that includes a modulation pattern that generates a patterned illuminations corresponding with the virtual image. A reflective image combiner then reflects the patterned illumination so that the virtual image appears in the distance of the viewer's view. The DORS optical design system is mechanically and optically stable for precision aiming across a range of environmental conditions and in different use scenarios or applications including use in rapidly changing temperatures, varying light conditions, and a wide range of user proficiencies. The DORS optical design system is a readily manufacturable aiming and sighting device for a wide range of applications from handguns to astronomical telescopes.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Marsupial Holdings, Inc.Inventor: William P Parker

Patent number: 7099057Abstract: A method of fabricating a holographic mask includes the steps of providing an illumination source and a non-opaque object mask. The source is for generating a coherent illumination beam directed along an axis. The object mask is capable of transmitting a portion of the illumination beam as undiffracted reference wavefronts. The object mask has one or more substantially transparent elements for creating overlapping object wavefronts when the illumination beam is incident thereon. The object mask is disposed in the illumination beam. A holographic recording medium is provided in the illumination beam in line optically with the object mask. The object mask is illuminated with the illumination beam, thereby causing the object mask to allow undiffracted reference wavefronts to pass therethrough. The illumination directed along the axis causes the one or more substantially transparent elements to create object wavefronts which interact with the undiffracted reference wavefronts to create an interference pattern.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Marsupial Holdings, Inc.Inventors: William P.
