Patents by Inventor René BERLICH

René BERLICH has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11616572
    Abstract: Transmitting at least two optical signals to at least two receivers, using a source, an alignment module, and a telescope. The telescope has a field of view in which the at least two receivers are located, and at least a first beam path and a second beam path are aligned in the alignment module in order to respectively steer the first optical signal via the telescope to the first receiver and the second optical signal via the telescope to the second receiver.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2023

  • Patent number: 10324306
    Abstract: A device for measuring an aberration has an image sensor, projection optics for optically projecting onto the image sensor, an optical unit for influencing the optical projection onto the image sensor so that the result on the image sensor is a multiple image of a plurality of sub-images, wherein the optical unit has at least one region per sub-image, wherein the regions influence different lateral portions of a wavefront incident on the projection optics in different ways, and an evaluator configured to determine information relating to the aberration based on the multiple image.

  • Patent number: 8922866
    Abstract: An optics arrangement includes a multi-channel imaging system for optical sampling of an object plane in visual fields, abutting or overlapping in the object plane, of a plurality of optical channels of the multi-channel imaging system, and a waveguide arranged between the object plane and the multi-channel imaging system so as to guide light in the waveguide laterally, the waveguide having a plurality of redirecting structures arranged on a side of the waveguide facing the object plane and/or a side of the waveguide facing the multi-channel imaging system, the redirecting structures being arranged in dead zones between the visual fields of the optical channels, and the redirecting structures being configured to deflect the guided light in the direction of the object plane such that the object plane is illuminated.
