Patents by Inventor Kensaku SHIMODA

Kensaku SHIMODA 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).

  • Publication number: 20240045375
    Abstract: An optical measurement system capable of suppressing noise and realizing more accurate measurement is provided. The optical measurement system includes a light source, an image sensor, and an optical system including a beam splitter that divides light from the light source into first light and second light. The optical system can configure a first optical system that records with the image sensor, a first hologram resulting from modulation of first light with second light while there is no sample, the second light being diverging light, and a second optical system that records with the image sensor, a second hologram resulting from modulation with second light, of light obtained by illumination of a sample with first light. The second optical system includes a restriction mechanism that restricts spread of the light obtained by illumination of the sample with first light to be kept within a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20210325825
    Abstract: The present invention provides a holographic imaging device and a holographic imaging method that have improved performance in which the influence of a refractive index of a cube-type beam coupler constituting an optical system is considered. The holographic imaging device 1 comprises the beam coupler 3 consisting of the cube-type beam splitter arranged between the object 4 and the image sensor 5 and the calculation reference light hologram generation unit 14 for generating an inline reference light hologram jL representing a light wave on the hologram plane 50 by performing a light wave propagation calculation including propagation inside the beam coupler 3, on a spherical wave emitted from the condensing point P2 of the inline spherical wave reference light L.
