Abstract: A non-paraxial Talbot spectrometer includes a transmission grating to receive incident light. The grating period of the transmission grating is comparable to the wavelength of interest so as to allow the Talbot spectrometer to operate outside the paraxial limit. Light transmitted through the transmission grating forms periodic Talbot images. A tilted detector is employed to simultaneously sample the Talbot images at various distances along a direction perpendicular to the grating. Spectral information of the incident light can be calculated by taking Fourier transform of the measured Talbot images or by comparing the measured Talbot images with a library of intensity patterns acquired with light sources having known wavelengths.

Abstract: A wireless power transmission system (100) includes a conductive waveguide (110) at least partially filled with a dielectric material (115), the waveguide extending along a first direction (e.g., z-axis) from a first end (111a) to an opposing end (111b) thereof, the waveguide having a bottom face (112), a top face (114) and a pair of side faces (116a, 116b) that together form a substantially rectangular cross-section of the waveguide, the top face having a plurality of slots (118) oriented substantially orthogonal to the first direction and distributed between the first end and the opposing end, the slots separated from each other by a first distance (l1) measured along the first direction.
