  • OPTOMECHANICAL FIBER ACTUATOR
    Publication number: 20240061238
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a mechanical actuator based on a fiber optic platform. A material that is configured to be activated by light is incorporated into an optical fiber that serves as both an actuator and a power delivery network. This platform is adaptable to different materials, types of motions, and length scales and allows for precise delivery of photons to the material.

  • Low loss visible-IR transmitting glass-aluminum oxynitride composites and process
    Patent number: 8221887
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a composite of AlON and a germanate glass, and to a process for bonding AlON to the glass. The composite includes AlON and glass bonded together and having transmission in the visible and mid-infrared wavelength region. The process includes the step of heating them together above the softening temperature of the glass, the composite having excellent, i.e., typically in excess of about 60%, transmission in the 0.4-5 wavelength region.
