  • Patent number: 12237913
    Abstract: An optical circuit is used with continuous wave signals having different wavelengths at a channel spacing from one another. A portion of the optical circuit is implemented in a photonic integrated circuit. Modulators in a modulation stage modulate the continuous wave signals to produce modulated signals. A multiplexing stage, which can have multiplexing filters, power combiners, or power couplers, multiplexes the continuous wave or modulated signals to produce multiplexed signals. The multiplexing stage may be placed either before or after the modulation stage. One or more polarization rotator and combiner (PRC) devices in a final stage combines the multiplexed signals into an output signal. The output signal has a first set of the different wavelengths at a first polarization and has a second separate set of the different wavelengths at a second polarization orthogonal to the first polarization.

  • Patent number: 12044369
    Abstract: Light assemblies comprise a housing having a chamber, one or more light emitting elements connected with the housing, a transparent cover, and one or more reflectors positioned adjacent the light emitting element. The one or more light emitting elements are interposed between the transparent cover and the one or more reflectors, and the one or more light emitting elements and one or more reflectors operate to provide a multi-directional field of illumination that is 180 degrees or more, e.g., between about 180 to 270 degrees. The transparent cover may have a convex outer surface to facilitate light transmission in side oriented directions. The light assembly may include switches or controls for on/off and/or dimming functions. An example light assembly comprises three light emitting elements in the form of LEDs, and includes three reflectors, wherein the LEDs and reflectors are configured to produce the desired field of illumination.

  • Patent number: 12046699
    Abstract: The invention described herein provides a method and apparatus to realize incorporation of Beryllium followed by activation to realize p-type materials of lower resistivity than is possible with Magnesium. Lower contact resistances and more effective electron confinement results from the higher hole concentrations made possible with this invention. The result is a higher efficiency GaN-based LED with higher current handling capability resulting in a brighter device of the same area.
