Garry Maskaly 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).

  • Methods of making fiber waveguides from multilayer structures
    Patent number: 8516856
    Abstract: Methods for making fiber waveguides include rolling a multilayer structure into a spiral structure and forming the fiber waveguide from the spiral structure. The forming includes drawing a fiber preform derived from the spiral structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2013
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Yoel Fink, Shandon Hart, Garry Maskaly
  • Method of forming reflecting dielectric mirrors
    Patent number: 7311962
    Abstract: A mirror structure includes a plurality of features of a defined size. The features include alternating spatial units of a chalcogenide glass and a thermoplastic polymer, and are specifically arranged in an ordered form so that the structure is highly reflective. Thermally-assisted methods are introduced for forming such structures.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 25, 2007
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Yoel Fink, Shandon Hart, Garry Maskaly, Burak Temelkuran
  • Fiber waveguides and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 7272285
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention features an article including a high-power, low-loss fiber waveguide that includes alternating layers of different dielectric materials surrounding a core extending along a waveguide axis, the different dielectric materials including a polymer and a glass.

  • Nanocrystal/photonic crystal composites
    Publication number: 20070063208
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to composite photonic crystal materials of a photonic crystal structure having voids throughout, where the photonic crystal structure includes a colloidal nanocrystal-doped composite infiltrated within the voids, the colloidal nanocrystal-doped composite including a sol-gel or polymeric host/matrix material.

  • Ordered colloids
    Publication number: 20060235086
    Abstract: Ordered colloids are rapidly formed by dialysis and exhibit unusual levels of shock resistance. Ordered colloids may be used to form a “fingerprint” optical diffraction pattern for security marking, and may also be used for freshness dating by controlling the timing of the formation or loss of order. The ordered colloids may be biocompatible, and may be directly incorporated into foods, drugs, or other ingestible substances, or they may be incorporated into distinctive packaging.

  • Ionic colloidal crystals
    Publication number: 20050250856
    Abstract: Ionic colloidal crystals (ordered multicomponent colloids formed by attractive electrostatic interactions) may be produced by controlling the surface potential and relative size of multiple populations of colloidal particles in suspension. Such suspensions are dried or otherwise caused to precipitate out the particles in ordered arrays. The crystal structure of the arrays may be controlled by appropriate choices of particle materials, sizes, and charge ratios.
