Publication number: 20230280154Abstract: The present disclosure provides an OCT imaging system to reduce or eliminate frequency-domain aliasing artifacts. The frequency is shifted using a carrier frequency to define a sampling range substantially centered on the carrier frequency. An image of the sample is generated from a displayed imaging range that consists of a subset of the frequencies within the sampling range. Furthermore, the system may be configured to determine the carrier frequency such that a Nyquist frequency corresponding to the shifted frequency is extended beyond either an upper or a lower bound of an OCT quality envelope corresponding to the first portion of light. Additionally, the carrier frequency may be determined such that a lower bound of the OCT quality envelope is greater or less than a zero-frequency DC limit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: NINEPOINT MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Eman Namati, Muhammad Al-Qaisi, Matthew A.

Publication number: 20210252792Abstract: Described herein is an Intuitive Creation System for Additive Manufacturing (AM) Devices which automates the design and manufacturing process in order to minimize or eliminate the need to teach and train new users in the art of Additive Manufacturing (AM). This system and methodology allows anyone, with little to no technical know-how, to successfully operate an AM device to produce products that improve their quality of life, on demand, locally, and during events that cause disruption of traditional global manufacturing supply chains. Additionally, the described systems and methods also allow anyone to design and create products with little to no prior technical know-how. This is accomplished by integrating computational systems and processors into the physical device such that 3D model data can be interrupted and translated into actions by the AM device without the need for a highly trained operator or user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventor: Joseph Matthew Sinclair

Patent number: 10838150Abstract: A coupling interface arrangement is described for a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) device. The PIC includes an interface coupling surface having optical grating elements arranged to form optical output locations that produce corresponding light output beams. A coupling lens couples the light output beams into a conjugate plane at a far-field scene characterized by one or more optical aberrations that degrade optical resolution of the light outputs. The optical grating elements are configured to correct for the one or more optical aberrations.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.Inventors: Michael G.

Publication number: 20200192133Abstract: A tunable imaging system capable of capturing both broadband and narrow band images is disclosed. The narrow band selection is made possible by constructing a spectral filter with a series of Faraday rotators and polarizers. The dispersion in Faraday Effect discriminates different wavelengths, allowing only light around the desired wavelength to pass through the polarizers. The central wavelength and/or the bandwidth of the filter can be tuned by varying the magnetic field and/or rotating the polarizers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Christine Wang, Matthew A.
