  • Patterned wavelength-selective image
    Patent number: 11953706
    Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

  • Non-linear intractivity optical devices for free electron lasers
    Patent number: 5010555
    Abstract: The performance of free electron lasers can be greatly enhanced by including a non-linear optical element within the resonator for the oscillator. A system is described to enhance the peak or average power output of the FEL oscillator, or to modify the time structure of the oscillator output through the use of a non-linear element which modulates or diverts a portion of the optical wave circulating in the resonator.

  • Secure SCA broadcasting system including subscriber actuated portable receiving terminals
    Patent number: 4196310
    Abstract: A secure information broadcasting system including a central transmitting station for encoding data in binary form utilizing a keyword and transmitting a FM-SCA signal phase shift modulated by the encoded data. Each of a plurality of portable receiving terminals has an identification number stored therein. When a subscriber desires to display the broadcast information on his terminal, he enters a unique password which is combined with the identification number to generate the keyword. The keyword is utilized to decode the received binary data.
