Hod Finkelstein 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).

  • Single photon IR detectors and their integration with silicon detectors
    Patent number: 8637875
    Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for photon detection can include a first optical sensing structure structured to absorb light at a first optical wavelength; and a second optical sensing structure engaged with the first optical sensing structure to allow optical communication between the first and the second optical sensing structures. The second optical sensing structure can be structured to absorb light at a second optical wavelength longer than the first optical wavelength and to emit light at the first optical wavelength which is absorbed by the first optical sensing structure. Apparatuses and systems can include a bandgap grading region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2014
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Hod Finkelstein, Sadik C. Esener, Yu-Hwa Lo, Kai Zhao, James Cheng, Sifang You
