11/20/2020: In this newly published international patent application, we describe how to use a curved waveguide as a combiner for head up display (HUD) or augmented reality (AR) glasses. Today, most systems use a flat waveguide that does not integrate well into their environment. With a curve waveguide the AR glasses can have a better fit and the HUD can be integrated into the windshield or the canopy. Link
11/03/2020: In this new patent application US 2019/0278011 A1, we describe how a thick hologram can “enhance the daytime detection of objects“, by selecting the incident light according to the distance from the source. This can be used for the detection of satellite and space debris during daytime. Link
09/22/2020: The patent about “Transposition of a measurement of a radar cross-section from an RF-domain to an optical domain” has been granted by the USPTO, number 10,782,401. Link
This patent is about the measurement of the radar cross section of complex structures using near-IR or visible light instead of radio frequency. See the project page for more information.
