  • COMPOSITE COATING FOR INCREASING ATMOSPHERIC CONDENSATION ON A SURFACE OF A SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20230119441
    Abstract: Composite coatings that passively cool when exposed to the sky are provided. The composite coatings are suitable for increasing atmospheric condensation on a surface of a substrate. In particular, the composite coatings may be suitable for capturing atmospheric water. Also provided are methods for producing the composites coatings, methods for coating the surface of substrates with the composite coatings, methods for condensing and collecting atmospheric water, and systems for collecting condensed atmospheric water.

  • Tunable optical supercontinuum enhancement
    Patent number: 8718411
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing optical supercontinuum. The method comprises creating a spectrally narrow phase feature within a supercontinuum spectrum produced from a laser pulse that has been subjected to supercontinuum generation, thereby producing a modified supercontinuum spectrum, and propagating the modified supercontinuum spectrum through an optical waveguide that is suitable for supercontinuum generation, thereby further modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum. The method may include modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum by increasing its energy in a vicinity of the phase feature.
