  • Publication number: 20180113297
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating removal of condensation from an optic surface. An example Active Droplet Transport (ADT) system includes a transparent ElectroWetting (EW) circuit positioned on or within an optic; a controller (also called a drive circuit) in communication with the EW circuit; and instructions implemented by the controller and configured to selectively activate the transparent EW circuit to remove condensation from a surface of the optic.

  • Patent number: 7292383
    Abstract: A contained resonant cavity. The contained resonant cavity includes a first surface and a second surface that are partially transmissive and partially reflective, One or more reflective sidewall, are positioned between the first surface and the second surface. In a specific embodiment, the first surface and the second surface are substantially parallel and represent input and output surfaces, respectively, of the contained resonant cavity. The one or more sidewalls are approximately perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface and include a first sidewall having a first substantially reflective planar surface that faces a second substantially reflective planar surface of the second sidewall. A third sidewall and a fourth sidewall have fourth and fifth substantially reflective Lacing sidewalls, respectively.
