Edward Brown, III 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).

  • System and method for measuring the ratio of forward-propagating to back-propagating second harmonic-generation signal, and applications thereof
    Patent number: 8812085
    Abstract: A method and system that enable the measurement of a second-harmonic-generation-forward/backward (SHG F/B) ratio from an object by performing only a single image scan using via epi-imaging using an epi-detection technique. Two simultaneous SGH images (a forward propagating SHG “F” image and a back propagating SHG “B” image) are generated during the single image scan. A pinhole mirror can be used to separate the F-SHG and the B-SHG, which are detected by separate detectors.
