MEMS-Based Hybrid Beam Steering for LIDAR

This technology is a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) beam steering system designed to increase scanning range while keeping quality resolution using a microelectromechanically (MEMS) controlled mirror. This allows a single focused beam to be reflected over multiple angles, greatly increasing the possible scanning range. The mirror is specially designed...

Segmented Optical Component

This technology combines diffraction and refraction in a multi-order diffractive optical surface that is an extension of Fresnel lens technology that reflects numerous orders of wavelengths in a wide bandwidth that is constrained by the refractive dispersion of the lens. This has the advantage of collecting and focusing broader wavebands of light than...

Two-Wire Knitted Capacitive Touch Sensor

PAGE TITLE Overview PAGE SUMMARY Previous designs of fabric-based touch sensors employ a large number of sensing electrodes to form a dense XY grid, which is impractical for many situations and increases the complexity and cost of all such sensors. This is because such sensor requires a correspondingly large number of connectors to connect each...

Broadband Infrared Microscope Objectives

This technology is a design for an objective lens that can be used for infrared microscopes to minimize chromatic aberrations, specifically chromatic change of focus and magnification. Although this design broadens the high-resolution, high NA spectral bandwidth in any wavelength region, it also extends the spectral band into the infrared. One design...

Dark Field Solid Immersion Objective for a Microscope

Researchers at the University of Arizona have designed a novel dark field illumination objective lens with a high numerical aperture. The oblique illumination angles of this novel objective enhance contrast and reduce scattered light to help view objects whose refractive index is close to that of the surrounding medium. Applications: Biomedical...
