Patent number: 11822206Abstract: There is provided an optical signal processing device capable of RC in a complex space using optical intensity and phase information. An optical modulator controlled by an electric signal processing circuit modulates laser light, which is emitted from a laser light source, at a modulation period either or both of the intensity and phase values of the optical electric field. On the other hand, an input signal is also modulated by the optical modulator at a modulation period in the time domain so as to be an input signal. The converted input signal passes through an optical transmission path and enters an optical circulation circuit via an optical coupler. Part of the circulating light is branched into two by an optical coupler, and the branched light is converted into a complex intermediate signal at a coherent optical receiver. This complex intermediate signal demodulated at the coherent optical receiver is computed at an electric signal processing circuit, and thereby the operation as RC can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsumasa Nakajima, Masanobu Inubushi, Takashi Go, Toshikazu Hashimoto

Patent number: 11796828Abstract: Reflections from a display device are controlled using retarders arranged on the output side of a display panel which outputs light with a predetermined polarization state. First and second planes of incidence are defined in respect of first and second rays of light output from the device and first and second normals to first and second surfaces of optically transmissive material at first and second points at which the first and second rays of light are reflected. The retarders are selected to cause the polarization state of the first ray to be linearly polarized in a direction that is in the first plane of incidence, and to cause the polarization state of the second ray to be linearly polarized in a direction that is in the second plane of incidence. The reflections from the surfaces are minimized because for both surfaces the polarization direction is in-plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: RealD Spark, LLCInventors: Michael G.
