Patents by Inventor Jay Stockley

Jay Stockley 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).

  • Nonmechanical wavelength-independent beam steerer
    Patent number: 6924923
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for steering an electromagnetic beam. The device includes a reflective element, a polarizer, a relay focusing element, and a modulation element. The polarizer is configured to transmit light of a specified polarization and to reflect light having other than the specified polarization. The relay focusing element is disposed to provide optical paths for the electromagnetic beam from a first spot position to a second spot position spatially displaced from the first spot position such that the optical paths encounter the reflective element and the polarizer. The modulation element is configured for selectively transforming a polarization of the electromagnetic beam to include a component of the specified polarization at a spatially localized position along the optical paths.
