  • Publication number: 20100283404
    Abstract: An illumination device utilizes one or more laser array emitters to provide a compact, high power light source useful for illuminating objects or areas of interest and in searching for items that may fluores when illuminated by light that interacts with material in or on the items. The illumination device is capable of providing a retina safe output at an object based on the distance from the illuminator to the object.

  • Patent number: 6453081
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device with an array of passive optical elements mounted thereon which provide optical communications between the active optical elements of the transceiver array as well as optical signal processing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4147994
    Abstract: A power combiner for solid state oscillator circuits is shown to be the combination of a central cavity and a plurality of subcavities, each one of the latter being dimensioned to operate in the TM.sub.010 mode to synchronize a plurality of solid state oscillator circuits. The central cavity and each one of the plurality of subcavities are coupled together through coaxial lines so that the central cavity in turn synchronizes the plurality of subcavities.

  • Patent number: 4097821
    Abstract: An improved solid state transmitter (and elements therefor) adapted particularly well to pulsed operation at radio frequencies is disclosed. Such transmitter includes the combination of: A crystal-controlled oscillator producing a continuous wave output signal which, ultimately, determines the frequency of each transmitted pulse; a first oscillatory circuit, including a resonant cavity and at least one normally quiescent coaxial oscillator incorporating an IMPATT diode; a second oscillatory circuit, including a resonant cavity and a plurality of normally quiescent coaxial oscillators, each one of such oscillators incorporating an IMPATT diode; and an improved modulator for periodically actuating all of the IMPATT diodes in such a manner that a pulsed output of the first oscillatory circuit is produced which remains locked to the then existing continuous wave signal out of the crystal-controlled oscillator and the pulsed outputs of the coaxial oscillators in the second oscillatory circuit similarly are locked.
