  • In-medium sculpted tunable graded index lenses
    Patent number: 11612768
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel technique that employs non-invasive ultrasound for spatiotemporal modulation of the refractive index in a medium to define and control the trajectory of light within the medium itself, thereby creating a virtual sculpted lens. By varying the amplitude of ultrasonic waves in the medium, the numerical aperture (NA) value of the virtual sculpted lens can be changed. The location of the focus of the virtual sculpted lens can be precisely scanned within a scattering tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2023
    Assignee: CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Maysamreza Chamanzar, Matteo Giuseppe Scopelliti, Yasin Karimi Chalmiani
  • Reconfigurable ultrasonically sculpted optical beam paths
    Patent number: 10857394
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel reconfigurable spatial and temporal light modulation method that exploits the imaging medium itself by employing a multi-element ultrasonic transducer array as an in-situ acoustic modulator. The medium density can be modulated using different ultrasonic pressure patterns to pattern an incident collimated beam of light.
