| 20120093179 | INTRA-CAVITY OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR - An optical parametric oscillator comprising: an optical cavity; a semiconductor gain-medium located within the optical cavity, such that together they form a semiconductor laser, and a nonlinear material located within the cavity such that the nonlinear material continuously generates down-converted idler- and signal-waves in response to a pump-wave continuously generated by the semiconductor gain-medium, wherein the pump wave is resonant within the optical cavity and one or other but not both of the down-converted waves is resonant within the pump wave cavity or a further optical cavity. Brewster plates ensure singly resonant optical parametric oscillators and a birefringent filer is used for frequency setting. Coupled cavities allow for setting the photon lifetime in the cavity that relaxation oscillations are prevented. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120075627 | FIBER PROBE BASED MICROFLUDIC RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY - A microfluidic device comprising at least one microfluidic channel with an input and an output for allowing fluid flow; and at least one Raman fiber based probe having an excitation fiber probe and/or a collection fiber probe positioned so that one end of the probe is in the microfluidic channel. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110240018 | UMBILICAL - An umbilical comprising a side-emitting optical fiber or optical fiber-bundle for providing a distributed source of light along part or the whole of the length of the umbilical. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110133104 | OPTICAL MANIPULATION OF MICRO-PARTICLES - A method for manipulating one or more particles comprising exposing the particle(s) to a beam of radiation that is able to lift and or impart an acceleration to the particle(s) to cause it to move in a curved trajectory. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110122900 | LASER - An ultrashort-pulse laser that has a resonator that includes a laser gain medium, dispersion compensation optics, and a deformable optical element adapted to change its shape and consequently one or more characteristics of pulses output from the cavity. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110021529 | P53 ACTIVATING COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to compounds which activate the p53 response, and find use in, for example, hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer treatment and potentially other diseases/conditions (involving sirtuin function). | 01-27-2011 |
