  • Miniaturized holographic fourier transform spectrometer with digital aberration correction
    Patent number: 6930781
    Abstract: A digitally aberration corrected miniaturized holographic Fourier transform spectrometer (HFTS) made from simple optical components and with no moving parts is provided. The disclosed digitally aberration corrected HFTS is comprised of a two beam interferometer, which provides two interfering beams; a 2D array detector to detect the interference pattern created by the beams; a computer for correcting effects of aberrations in the pattern and calculating the spectrum from thus corrected interferogram.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2005
    Assignee: Cornell Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Nikolay I. Agladze, Albert J. Sievers

  • Diamond and diamond-like films and coatings prepared by deposition on substrate that contain a dispersion of diamond particles
    Patent number: 5206083
    Abstract: Novel diamond thin films deposited on a metal or ceramic composite comprising a matrix having dispersed therein finely divided diamond or diamond-like particles are useful in improving the erosion resistance of materials used for long wave infrared transmitting applications such as domes and infrared windows.

  • Infra red diamond composites
    Patent number: 5183602
    Abstract: New composites useful for infrared transmitting applications comprise a dispersion of small particles of diamonds in a matrix having infrared transmission properties (from about 1 to at least 10 .mu.m wavelength) and refractive index substantially similar to that of diamond. The composites exhibit mechanical toughness and durability 2-4 times that of the similarly treated matrix alone without adverse effect on optical properties.
