Patent number: 11855705Abstract: A receiver for receiving an incident beam of optical power from a remote transmitter over a predefined field of view, comprising an input lens having a high durability coating that can withstand domestic handling and contamination. Such a high durability coating may reflect a non-insignificant part of the light incident thereon. Behind the lens, there is fitted a retroreflector disposed such that it reflects that part of the incident beam traversing the lens, back through the lens to the transmitter. Reflections from the front surface of the lens impinge on one or more transparent beam catchers appropriately located, and equipped with energy conversion devices, such as photovoltaic cells, to convert light from the reflections of the incident beam into electricity. Additional energy conversion devices may be located inward of the lens, to collect and convert reflections from the inner surface of the lens, of light returning from the retroreflector.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Wi-Charge Ltd.Inventors: Ortal Alpert, Yoni Cohen, Ori Refael Mor, Omer Nahmias, Eitan Ronen, Lior Golan

Patent number: 7586596Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting a surface of a sample, including a detector and folding optics. The folding optics are configured to receive radiation arising from a first region of the surface and from a second region of the surface. The first region and the second region have a first spatial relationship with respect to each other. The folding optics form from the radiation a first image of the first region and a second image of the second region on the detector, wherein the first image is a linear transformation of the first region and the second image is the linear transformation of the second region. The first image and the second image have a second spatial relationship, different from the linear transformation of the first spatial relationship, with respect to each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Applied Materials, Israel, Ltd.Inventors: Avishay Guetta, Doron Korngut, Gil Blai, Yoni Cohen
