  • Echelle grating with cyclic free-spectral range
    Patent number: 8873961
    Abstract: An optical de-multiplexer (de-MUX) that includes an optical device that images and diffracts an optical signal using a reflective geometry is described, where a free spectral range (FSR) of the optical device associated with a given diffraction order abuts FSRs associated with adjacent diffraction orders. Moreover, the channel spacings within diffraction orders and between adjacent diffraction orders are equal to the predefined channel spacing associated with the optical signal. As a consequence, the optical device has a comb-filter output spectrum, which reduces a tuning energy of the optical device by eliminating spectral gaps between diffraction orders of the optical device.

  • SCALABLE HIGH THROUGHPUT VIDEO ENCODER
    Publication number: 20140169481
    Abstract: A scalable high throughput video encoder is described herein. A plurality of dedicated, hardware video encoders runs in a staggered, parallel architecture, where each video encoder encodes a video frame and the stagger or delay is a programmable number of macroblock rows. In an example method, after a first video encoder finishes encoding the first x macroblock rows of a frame, the first video encoder signals a second video encoder to start encoding a macroblock row of a next unprocessed frame. Both video encoders continue encoding in parallel in a synchronized, staggered manner. At the end of the frame, the first video encoder starts encoding x macroblock rows of another unprocessed frame.

  • METHOD FOR PREPARING MICRO STRAIGHT PZT PIEZOELECTRIC FIBER ARRAY
    Publication number: 20140157558
    Abstract: Plastic capillaries are used as a reaction template; firstly, sol-PZT is prepared; then, PZT nanometer powder is added into the sol-PZT and blended uniformly to form suspension, the plastic capillaries are put into a quartz tube, the gaps between the capillaries and the gaps between the quartz tube and the plastic capillaries are filled with paraffin and solidified to a required array shape, the quartz tube is dipped into the suspension, after full absorption, the rest suspension is poured into the quartz tube and filtered from the other end, so that the suspension is pumped into the plastic capillaries until the capillaries are full of suspension. The quartz tube is dried until no excessive liquid component and then taken out to be dipped, filtered and dried; removal of template and crystallization heat treatment is then performed for the dried container.

  • Dynamic-grid comb optical source
    Patent number: 8737846
    Abstract: An optical source uses feedback to maintain a substantially fixed spacing between adjacent wavelengths in a set of wavelengths in a wavelength comb output by the optical source. In particular, a set of light sources in the optical source provide optical signals having the set of wavelengths. Moreover, the optical signals are output at diffraction angles of an optical device in the optical source (such as an echelle grating), and optical detectors in the optical source determine optical metrics associated with the optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical source provides control signals to the set of light sources based on the determined optical metrics.
