Patent number: 10236166Abstract: A lenslet based integral field spectrograph (IFS) may have a design that makes better use of the detector pixels by placing adjacent spectra next to each other rather than staggering the spectra. Such a design maintains the main compactness and simplicity of prior lenslet array based IFSs, but improves the detector efficiency, which is rather low in conventional lenslet array based IFSs.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Qian Gong, David A.

Patent number: 9921099Abstract: The present invention relates to a space-based instrument which provides continuous coronal electron temperature and velocity images, for a predetermined period of time, thereby improving the understanding of coronal evolution and how the solar wind and Coronal Mass Ejection transients evolve from the low solar atmosphere through the heliosphere for an entire solar rotation. Specifically, the present invention relates to using a 6U spherical occulter coronagraph CubeSat, and a relative navigational system (RNS) that controls the position of the spacecraft relative to the occulting sphere. The present invention innovatively deploys a free-flying spherical occulter, and after deployment, the actively controlled CubeSat will provide an inertial formation flying with the spherical occulter and Sun.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Joseph M. Davila, Douglas M. Rabin, Nelson Reginald, Qian Gong, Neerav Shah, Phillip C. Chamberlin

Patent number: 9850571Abstract: The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic compounds, and particularly, relates to a method for directly preparing graphene by taking CBr4 as a source material and using methods such as molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A method for preparing graphene comprises the following steps: selecting a proper material as a substrate; directly depositing a catalyst and CBr4 on a surface of the substrate; and performing annealing treatment on the sample obtained through deposition. Compared with other technologies, an innovative point of the method in the invention is that the catalyst and CBr4 source can be quantitatively and controllably deposited on any substrate, and the catalyst and CBr4 source react on the surface of the substrate to form the graphene, so that the dependence of the graphene growth on a substrate material can be reduced to a great extent, and different substrate materials can be selected according to different application backgrounds.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Shumin Wang, Qian Gong, Xiaoming Xie, Hailong Wang, Zengfeng Di, Guqiao Ding, Qingbo Liu

Patent number: 6125228Abstract: The present invention uses a light-pipe for beam splitting, combining, hybrid space-wavelength multiplexing, hybrid space-wavelength demultiplexing, dense wavelength division multiplexing, and dense wavelength division demultiplexing. A light-pipe has a first end where light enters the light-pipe and a second end where the light exits the light-pipe. The light-pipe is a polygonal rod or a hollow reflective cavity. To perform beam splitting, light enters the first end of the light-pipe and reflects off of the side surfaces inside the light-pipe producing additional light beams. By placing an imaging lens at the output end of the light-pipe, all of the virtual images (n-1) of the additional light beams and the original light entering the light-pipe become the object of the imaging lens. As a result, the light-pipe acts as a 1-to-n splitter.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Swales Aerospace, Inc.Inventor: Qian Gong

Patent number: 5224197Abstract: Integrated optical devices are provided wherein a film of polystyrene doped with methyl red (PS-MR) on a glass substrate, is masked, e.g. with one or more metallic strips on a glass plate and such film is irradiated with, e.g. a UV lamp, tuned within the absorption band of such film, in air, to photobleach the film portions around channels covered by the masking strips and reduce the refractive index thereof below that of the unbleached film channels. The bleached film portions then provide reflective beam confining interfaces which define the unbleached channels and form waveguides within the film. The invention takes advantage of photobleaching to change the index of refraction of portions of a thin film to define optical components therein and has located a class of films, including PS-MR, which, upon photobleaching, provide a considerable reduction in refractive index, enabling the definition of optical components in such film.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1992Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Raymond Zanoni, Qian Gong
