Us Patents

Method And Apparatus For Laser-Induced Plasma Filaments For Agile Counter-Directed Energy Weapon Applications

View page
US Patent:
20190383584, Dec 19, 2019
Filed:
Jun 15, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/009680
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Alexandru Hening - San Diego CA, US
Ryan P. Lu - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F41H 13/00
Abstract:
A method comprising the steps of propagating an infrared laser pulse in air, self-focusing the laser pulse until the laser reaches a critical power density, wherein molecules in the air ionize and simultaneously absorb a plurality of infrared photons resulting in a clamping effect on the intensity of the pulse, wherein the laser pulse defocuses and plasma is created, causing a dynamical competition between the self-focusing of the laser pulse and the defocusing effect due to the created plasma, the laser pulse maintaining a small beam diameter and high peak intensity over large distances, creating a plasma column, repeating the above steps to create a plurality of plasma columns, creating a parallel linear array with the plurality of plasma columns, and using the array to deflect an incident energy.

System And Method For Controlling The Elemental Composition Of Films Produced By Pulsed Laser Deposition

View page
US Patent:
20190093212, Mar 28, 2019
Filed:
Sep 28, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/718202
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Alexandru Hening - San Diego CA, US
Teresa Emery - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
C23C 14/50
Abstract:
A pulsed laser deposition system comprising a split ablation target having a first half and a second half, wherein the target contains a film material for deposition on a substrate, and wherein the film material is comprised of a plurality of component elements, the elements varying in volatility, and wherein one half of the split ablation target contains more of the most volatile elements being deposited than the other half, and wherein the split ablation target is rotated about its center. A laser beam is rastered back and forth across the target such that the laser spends more time on one half of the split target than the other half depending on the elemental volatility. The target rotation and laser beam rastering are coordinated simultaneously to vary the elemental composition of the resulting film deposition.

Wavelength Optimization For Underwater Optical Communications

US Patent:
20170093502, Mar 30, 2017
Filed:
Mar 29, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/083563
Inventors:
Alexandru Hening - San Diego CA, US
Bienvenido Melvin Pascoguin - La Mesa CA, US
Assignee:
United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H04B 10/80
H01S 3/00
H04B 10/50
H01S 3/23
Abstract:
Systems and methods for wavelength optimization for underwater optical communication can include a plurality of n lasers having different wavelengths λfor i=1 to n, a beam splitter and a corner retro-reflector. The plurality of n lasers can simultaneously illuminate the beam splitter along a coincident axis. The plurality of n lasers can be selectively blocked so that only one laser wavelength λat a time impinges on the beam splitter. A portion passes through the beam splitter to establish a reference signal, while the remainder is reflected off the corner retro-reflector. A portion of return illumination passes through the beam splitter to establish a return signal. The process can be repeated for each of n lasers for i=1 to n. The λwavelength where the normalized signal-to-noise differential between the reference signal and return signal is the minimum can be the optimum communication wavelength.
