Patents by Inventor Tobias Wilm

Tobias Wilm 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).

  • Publication number: 20240134103
    Abstract: A holographic optical element (HOE). The HOE includes a hologram, and an electroactive polymer (EAP), in particular a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA). The electroactive polymer includes at least one elastomer layer, in particular an elastomer film, arranged between two electrodes, and the hologram is applied to an electrode of the electroactive polymer. The hologram or a holographic function which can be provided by means of the hologram, and in particular diffraction properties of the hologram, can be adapted by means of a controllable deformation of the electroactive polymer. A method for producing such a holographic optical element is also described.

  • Publication number: 20230118706
    Abstract: A method for producing micro-optics on surface-emitting laser diodes. In a wafer-level operation, the micro-optics are preferably positioned directly on the VCSEL's forming, in each instance, a part of a coherent wafer.

  • Publication number: 20230090984
    Abstract: A method for producing a holographic optical element. The method includes a step of exposing a recording material to a phase pattern which is provided by a first modulated light beam with a first phase portion. Furthermore, the method includes a step of an additional exposure of the recording material to the phase pattern, which is provided by a second modulated light beam with a second phase portion, wherein the second phase portion has a phase offset with respect to the first phase portion in order to produce a holographic optical element.
