  • Method, Apparatus and Kit for Breath Diagnosis
    Publication number: 20080038154
    Abstract: Various medical conditions in a subject may be diagnosed by comparing the concentration of a diagnostic species such as ethane in breath samples from a subject from different stages of the breathing cycle. Using phase sensitive measurement of absorption of IR laser radiation, very small concentrations of the diagnostic species can be measured. Apparatus for collecting breath samples from different stages of the breathing cycle is also disclosed.

  • Photonic switch working in momentum-division-multiple-access (mdma) mode for microwave and optical wavelengths based upon the measurement of the spin, the orbital angular momentum and the total angular momentum of the involved photo
    Publication number: 20050259914
    Abstract: Photonic switch working in Momentum-Division-Multiple-Access (MDMA) mode for microwave and optical wavelengths based upon the measurement of the spin, orbital angular momentum and total angular momentum of the involved photons. For the optical wavelengths Dove prisms and holograms are used in form of a Mach-Zehnder-Interferometer as selectors; for the microwave wavelengths phased-array antennas with double orthogonal dipoles act as selectors.
