Patents by Inventor Christopher A. Fuchs

Christopher A. Fuchs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Optical apparatus having a polarization splitter and multiple interferometers
    Patent number: 7463361
    Abstract: A passive optical system substantially simultaneously separates light received at an optical input into three or more output light beams on optical outputs. The output light beams may have intensities that are proportional to intensities of optical projections of the received light onto three or more basis vectors of a tetrahedral basis set of a Stokes space. The system includes either multiple partial polarization splitters or multiple optical interferometers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2008
    Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Christopher A. Fuchs, Michael Vasilyev, Bernard Yurke
