| 20110170159 | LIGHT LIMITING WINDOW - A passive optical power limiting window comprising a transparent optical input element, a transparent optical output element, and a power-limiting element disposed between these input and output elements for transmitting optical light from these input elements to these output elements, these optical power-limiting elements comprising an optical-limiting solid mixture containing particles of at least one material that produces reversible thermal changes in response to light above a predetermined optical power level, thereby changing the optical transmission properties of these power-limiting elements. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110051231 | LIGHT EXCITED LIMITING WINDOW - An optical power limiter comprises an input optical transmission element, an output optical transmission element, and a power-limiting element disposed between the input and output elements for transmitting optical signals from the input element to the output element. The power-limiting element comprises an optical-limiting solid mixture containing particles of at least one material that produces reversible thermal changes in response to light above a predetermined optical power level, thereby changing the optical transmission properties of the power-limiting element. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20100229748 | PROXIMITY TO TARGET DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - There is provided a proximity to a target, detection system, including a laser transmitter for transmitting a beam of radiation at a predetermined wavelength temporal and spatial shape, towards a target from which the proximity is to be determined, a small dimensions body having an opening for admitting radiation reflected from the target, the body housing a receiver for receiving the reflected beam radiation from the target and directing it towards a detector in the body for producing a signal. The detector includes a detection logic circuit allowing detection of reflected radiation for producing an output signal when the body is at a predetermined range from the target and in consideration of the temporal or spatial relative strength of the signal produced by the detected radiation of the reflected beam. A method for detecting the proximity of a body to a radiation-reflecting surface of a target, is also provided. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100166368 | GRATING LIKE OPTICAL LIMITER - A reversible optical energy limiting device comprises a waveguide forming an optical path between an input end and an output end, and an optical energy responsive material located in the optical path for reflecting at least a portion of optical energy received from the input end back toward the input end when the optical energy exceeds a predetermined threshold. The optical energy responsive material does not reflect optical energy when it drops below the predetermined threshold, and thus propagation of optical energy from the input end to the output end is automatically resumed when the optical energy drops below the predetermined threshold. The optical energy responsive material may extend across the optical path an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the optical path so that back-reflected light does not re-enter the optical system. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20090122298 | Optical Screen, Systems and Methods For Producing and Operating Same - There is provided a system for forming an optical screen, including a continuous wave or pulsed laser transmitter for transmitting a beam of radiation at a predetermined wavelength and forming a planar or curved surface to be traversed by a moving object, at least one receiver including an array of detectors for receiving reflected or scattered beam radiation from the object and directing it towards the detectors for producing a signal, and a detection logic receiving the signal and determining parameters selected from the group of spatial position, velocity and direction of propulsion of the moving object. A method for detecting a moving object is also provided. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090073053 | OPTICALLY DRIVEN ANTENNA - There is provided an optically driven, transmitting and receiving antenna transformable into an electrically invisible antenna when inactive, including a light source, a semiconductor wafer illuminatable by the light source and a microwave source or sensor. The wafer has a surface for forming optically induced plasma or electron hole concentration, assuming a spatial and temporal pattern defined by a light beam impinging thereon. Upon the wafer being exposed to the light beam having a power level sufficient for creating a dense plasma or electron hole concentration in the wafer, the wafer becomes reflective to microwaves, and returns to transparency when light from the light source is turned off. | 03-19-2009 |
