  • Methods and apparatuses for high-speed control of lamp intensities and/or wavelengths and for high-speed optical data transmission
    Patent number: 6141131
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for high-speed control of lamp intensity and for high-speed optical data communication are disclosed. In particular embodiments, an arc, plasma or halogen lamp is provided with the ability to change wavelengths and/or intensities at high rates (up to 10 gigahertz) by maintaining materials which may be solid or liquid under typical lamp operation or storage conditions in the vapor state. This method and apparatus is particularly applicable to microscopy and high-speed optical data communication, particularly at wavelengths in the visible and ultraviolet spectra.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2000
    Assignee: Atto Instruments, Inc.
    Inventors: Gary Brooker, J. Scott McDonald, Jeffrey Scott Brooker
