  • Three dimensional engineering of planar optical structures
    Patent number: 8673407
    Abstract: Three dimensional optical structures are described that can have various integrations between optical devices within and between layers of the optical structure. Optical turning elements can provide optical pathways between layers of optical devices. Methods are described that provide for great versatility on contouring optical materials throughout the optical structure. Various new optical devices are enabled by the improved optical processing approaches.

  • Dense coating formation by reactive deposition
    Patent number: 7491431
    Abstract: Methods for forming coated substrates can be based on depositing material from a flow onto a substrate in which the coating material is formed by a reaction within the flow. In some embodiments, the product materials are formed in a reaction driven by photon energy absorbed from a radiation beam. In additional or alternative embodiments, the flow with the product stream is directed at the substrate. The substrate may be moved relative to the flow. Coating materials can be formed with densities of 65 percent to 95 percent of the fully densified coating material with a very high level of coating uniformity.
