20080279446 | SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUE FOR RETRIEVING DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT A SURFACE BY PROJECTING A COMPOSITE IMAGE OF MODULATED LIGHT PATTERNS - A technique, associated system and program code, for retrieving depth information about at least one surface of an object. Core features include: projecting a composite image comprising a plurality of modulated structured light patterns, at the object; capturing an image reflected from the surface; and recovering pattern information from the reflected image, for each of the modulated structured light patterns. Pattern information is preferably recovered for each modulated structured light pattern used to create the composite, by performing a demodulation of the reflected image. Reconstruction of the surface can be accomplished by using depth information from the recovered patterns to produce a depth map/mapping thereof. Each signal waveform used for the modulation of a respective structured light pattern, is distinct from each of the other signal waveforms used for the modulation of other structured light patterns of a composite image; these signal waveforms may be selected from suitable types in any combination of distinct signal waveforms, provided the waveforms used are uncorrelated with respect to each other. The depth map/mapping to be utilized in a host of applications, for example: displaying a 3-D view of the object; virtual reality user-interaction interface with a computerized device; face—or other animal feature or inanimate object—recognition and comparison techniques for security or identification purposes; and 3-D video teleconferencing/telecollaboration. | 11-13-2008 |

20080317071 | Dual-Single-Frequency Fiber Laser and Method - An embodiment of the invention is directed to a dual-single-frequency fiber laser. A linear cavity formed by a short length of highly doped optical waveguide with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) at respective ends, one of which is a polarization-maintaining PM-DBR, and a suitable pump source, provides orthogonally polarized dual-single-frequency laser emissions. Operating characteristics of the laser may be customized by appropriate design of the PM-DBR. Wavelength spacing between dual lasing wavelengths can be controlled via the birefringence parameters of the PM-DBR. Laser emission wavelengths may be controlled as a function of the period of the PM-DBR. Output power may be scaled upward by optimizing the PM-DBR reflectance and via pump power adjustment. Relaxation-oscillation effects (noise peaks) may be reduced by using a negative-feedback circuit on the pump laser. The use of a polarization-filtering component in regard to the orthogonal polarizations of the dual emissions enable laser operation in a single-polarization-single-frequency regime. | 12-25-2008 |
