System And Method For Molecular Sample Measurement

View page
US Patent:
6404495, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Apr 10, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/546058
Inventors:
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Marvin Tabasky - Peabody MA
Assignee:
Corning Applied Technologies Corporation - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G01N 2100
US Classification:
356344, 204451
Abstract:
A system for aligning the optical components of a chemical analysis system in which capillaries or optical fibers are supported by a substrate. The system provides for alignment of elements of an electrophoresis system in an efficient high sampling rate capability. The system provides multiple sources, such as lasers or LEDs that are optically coupled to each capillary or channel. Multi-analyte capability, a variety of analysis modes and DNA sequencing operations are applications of systems using a plurality of lasers per channel.

Polarization Transformer

View page
US Patent:
6404537, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Mar 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/519293
Inventors:
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Yingyin Zou - Burlington MA
Qiushui Chen - Medford MA
Assignee:
Corning Applied Technologies Corporation - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G05F 133
US Classification:
359323, 359251, 359245, 385 8
Abstract:
A polarization transformer includes at least one plate of transparent polycrystalline material which has an optical axis oriented perpendicular to a propagation direction of incident radiation having a first polarization state. The plate includes electrodes for applying an electric field across a plane of the plate perpendicular to the propagation direction so as to provide controlled phase change such that the polarization of radiation transmitted through the polarization transformer is transformed from the first polarization state to a second polarization state. The plate in a preferred embodiment comprises a ferroelectric complex oxide such as lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) material. Such a material provides devices that have very fast response (on the order of microseconds) and low insertion loss.

High-Speed Electro-Optic Modulator

View page
US Patent:
6404538, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Oct 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/695538
Inventors:
Qiushui Chen - Medford MA
Gary Y. Wang - Fremont CA
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Kevin Zou - Burlington MA
Hua Jiang - Mansfield MA
Run Zhang - Bedford MA
Jing Zhao - Winchester MA
Dean Tsang - Burlington MA
Feiling Wang - Medford MA
Assignee:
Corning Applied Technologies Corporation - Woburn MA
International Classification:
G02F 100
US Classification:
359323, 359239, 359251, 359322
Abstract:
An optical modulator is provided to control the intensity of a transmitted or reflected light. In a transmission mode, a separator splits arbitrarily polarized light into two polarization rays and one is made to travel a separate path from the other. A recombiner causes the two rays to recombine at an output unless an electro-optic phase retarder changes the polarization of the two rays, in which case, both of them miss the output by an amount which is a function of the voltage on the retarder. A normally-off version with low polarization mode dispersion is obtained by changing the orientation of the recombiner. A normally-on version with low polarization mode dispersion is obtained with a passive polarization direction rotator. Similar results can be obtained in a reflection mode where the input and output are on the same side of the modulator. Versions using a GRIN lens are particularly suited to modulation of light out of and back into fiber-optic cables.

Appl. No.:
09/345904
Inventors:
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Marvin Tabasky - Peabody MA
Assignee:
Corning Applied Technologies, Corp. - Woburn MA
International Classification:

Dynamic Optical Filter

US Patent:
6522456, Feb 18, 2003
Filed:
May 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/848766
Inventors:
Qiushui Chen - Medford MA
Hua Jiang - Mansfield MA
Yingyin Zou - Burlington MA
Dean Tsang - Burlington MA
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Feiling Wang - Medford MA
Guanghai Jin - Boxborough MA
Jing Zhao - Winchester MA
Assignee:
Corning Applied Technologies, Inc. - Woburn MA
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
G02F 100
US Classification:
359322, 359239, 359245, 359246, 359248, 359256, 359323
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for filtering an optical input is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, an optical input is split into polarization components along separate paths. The polarization components are then fed into a first electro-optic device that includes a set of electrodes across which a voltage is applied to adjust a wavelength transmission characteristic of the device. A section of the first device positioned between the electrodes preferably has a birefringence that is adjusted depending on the voltage applied across the electrodes. The adjusted components of the optical input are thereafter combined to produce an optical output. Accordingly, the optical input can be attenuated based on the voltage applied to electrodes of the first electro-optic device.

Optical Detection

US Patent:
6728429, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Feb 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/785762
Inventors:
Paul Melman - Newton MA
Shmuel Halevi - Chestnut Hill MA
Assignee:
BioTell, Inc. - Brookline MA
International Classification:
G01N 2117
US Classification:
385 12, 385 40, 356445, 422 8211
Abstract:
The invention features a waveguide based devices, methods, and systems to increase sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement through the use of differential detection. The enhanced sensitivity enables analysis and detection of a wide range of analytes including, for example, DNA, antibodies, proteins, and other chemical compounds. These methods achieve this result by sampling the SPR response curve at more than one point. This can be achieved using a detection device with sets of optical waveguides having distinct propagation parameters, or by using light of different wavelengths. These methods are suitable for multi-analyte and multi-sample applications in a miniaturized detection system. Furthermore, this invention makes use of an alternating polarity electric field to reduce nonspecific analyte binding and detection time.

Characterization Of A Transmission Path Of An Optical Signal Having An Optical Communication Signal

View page
US Patent:
20040247319, Dec 9, 2004
Filed:
Apr 6, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/491820
Inventors:
Paul Melman - Newton MA, US
International Classification:
H04J014/06
US Classification:
398/065000, 398/025000
Abstract:
For deriving a transmission value representing a property of a transmission path of an optical signal having at least one optical communication signal, a converter is provided for converting the optical signal, or at least a part thereof, into an electrical signal. An electrical filter at least substantially removes spectral components resulting from the at least one optical communication signal from the converted electrical signal. An analyzer derives the transmission value from the filtered converted electrical signal.
