| 6072919 | Apparatus and method for improving the frequency response of modulators based on the Sagnac interferometer An optical method and apparatus particularly useful as an intensity modulation system, in which two phase modulators are placed in the loop of a Sagnac interferometer. Selective placement of the modulators, and the amplitude of any modulation signal input... | 06/06/2000 |
| 6038344 | Intelligent hypersensor processing system (IHPS) The Intelligent Hypersensor Processing System (IHPS) is a system for the rapid detection of small, weak, or hidden objects, substances, or patterns embedded in complex backgrounds. providing fast adaptive processing for demixing and recognizing patterns o... | 03/14/2000 |
| 6034804 | Rapid, high-resolution scanning of flat and curved regions for gated optical imaging A scanning system for scanning in first and second dimensions a desired surface topology of a sample, the scanning device comprising: a light source for producing a collimated light beam; a first scanning device responsive to the collimated light beam fro... | 03/07/2000 |
| 6029054 | MMIC receiver A receiver, especially useful for MMIC semiconductor communications circuits, in which plural mixers replace LRC filter networks to produce notched bandwidth filters. In a preferred embodiment, the input signal and a the output of a variable oscillator ar... | 02/22/2000 |
| 6016198 | Electro-optic reflection device with traveling-wave structure A Mach-Zehnder interferometer has electrodes configured to act as a microe transmission line. The optical waveguide arms have a reflective coating on their distal ends so that light is reflected back through the arms. The microwave transmission line is o... | 01/18/2000 |
