  • Publication number: 20240255782
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating one or more one solid-state electro-optic device to provide an electrically switching shutter. The method includes forming an alternating stack of first semiconductor layers having a first dopant and second semiconductor layers having a second dopant to form at least one superlattice semiconductor device. The method further includes applying to the at least one superlattice semiconductor device a first voltage to induce a transparent state of the alternating stack such that light is transmitted through the alternating stack, and applying to the at least one superlattice semiconductor device a second voltage different from the first voltage to induce an opaque state of the alternating stack such that light is inhibited from passing through the alternating stack.

  • Patent number: 11886095
    Abstract: A scalable independent unit cell device architecture may include a phase-shifting element and a phase shift driver both integrated within the unit cell device. The phase shift driver may be coupled to the phase-shifting element and the phase shift driver may independently control the phase-shifting element to produce an optical beam having a desired phase. The unit cell device may further include an optical antenna that outputs the beam having the desired phase. The unit cell device may be formed as an opto-electronic hybrid optimized to leverage direct bond hybridization (DBH) to attach an electronic integrated circuit wafer to a side of a photonic integrated circuit wafer. The resulting unit cell device (i.e., 24 microns) may tightly integrate individual element-level phase control, which may be implemented within large-scale two-dimensional photonic arrays with hemispherical beam steering.

  • Publication number: 20220268570
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to passive ranging of objects by using relative positional relation of the object to a coded aperture ranged object. A first range to a first object is determined via a coded-aperture ranging system based on a point spread function optimization of an image of the first object. The terrain surface between the first object and a second object is mapped via a 3D polarimetry system. A second range to the second object is then calculated via a range calculator based on the first range and the terrain surface between the first object and the second object.

  • Patent number: 10267997
    Abstract: A scene projector including an array of light emitting pixels, a tunable filter element, and a spatial light modulator. The tunable filter element is optically coupled to the array of light emitting pixels such that light emitted from the array of light emitting pixels is passed through the tunable filter element as filtered light. The spatial light modulator is optically coupled to the array of light emitting pixels and is configured to generate transmitted light by interacting with the filtered light to control at least one of an amplitude, a phase, and a polarization of the filtered light.
