| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4610511 | Assembly and method for producing specific optical interference patterns An assembly is provided which employs a light source that directs slightly convergent light rays of visual frequencies towards a first polarizing means. The first polarizing means polarizes the light rays and directs them towards a first lateral face of a... | 09/09/1986 |
| 4514047 | On-axis achromatic quarterwave retarder prism A quarterwave retarder prism such as can be used in optical recording has a shape similar to a dove prism, and has three internal reflections, with the retarder prism designed to have the emerging light beam on the same axis or collinear with the entering... | 04/30/1985 |
| 4502783 | Alignment stabilization prism Apparatus (20) provides a stable optical reference in the presence of optical source jitter. It comprises a beamsplitter cube (21) having an input surface 22, an output surface 23, a totally reflecting surface (24), and a partially reflecting diagonal sur... | 03/05/1985 |
| 4429378 | Optical pickup device for use in a video and/or audio disc player An optical pickup device is placed in a video and/or audio disc player operative to reproduce information recorded in the form of an optical pattern such as a train of pits on a recording disc, in which the direction of light beam emitted from a light sou... | 01/31/1984 |
| 4407566 | Optical filter A filter element for a narrow-passband optical filter comprises a birefringent crystal (10) having a rectangular parallelopiped configuration with an entrance face (11), an exit face (12) and side walls (21, 22, 23, 24). The optic axis (25) of the crystal... | 10/04/1983 |
| 4198123 | Optical scrambler for depolarizing light An optical scrambler for depolarizing a beam of polarized incident light comprises two birefringent prisms having orthometric optic axis. The prisms are juxtaposed with their inclined surfaces joined in optically wrung relationship to receive the incident... | 04/15/1980 |
| 3998524 | Birefringent polarization prism with a large angular aperture An apparatus for polarizing natural light incident on a polarizer with an intermediate layer of one birefringent or biaxial material mounted between a pair of prism substrates of a second birefringent or biaxial material with a liquid or other index match... | 12/21/1976 |
| 3982819 | Fluid gap glan-laser prism A Glan-laser prism polarizer in which spaced prisms are surrounded with an index of refraction matching fluid and the gap between the prisms is also filled with the fluid.... | 09/28/1976 |
