20130319386 | CLAY BIRD THROWER - A hand held disk thrower consisting of a pivoting extended arm and launching head connected to a gripping handle that allows a wide ratios secondary action. The throwing head and arm section are designed to grip the clay target in a semicircular channeled head that offers some resistance to releasing. The arm is lengthened and arched to create both drag and centrifugal force. The launch head and arm section are attached to the handle by a pivoting joint that allows for free or flopping movement of head arm section. The combination head and launch arm and handle are constructed of a semi-ridged plastic. The thrower is designed to release a spinning disk when swung in an arc by the person grasping the handle. | 12-05-2013 |

20130016360 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED RESOLUTION, HIGHER SCAN SPEEDS AND REDUCED PROCESSING TIME IN SCANS INVOLVING SWEPT-WAVELENGTH INTERFEROMETRYAANM Ensher; JasonAACI BroomfieldAAST COAACO USAAGP Ensher; Jason Broomfield CO USAANM Minneman; MichaelAACI BroomfieldAAST COAACO USAAGP Minneman; Michael Broomfield CO USAANM Crawford; MichaelAACI BroomfieldAAST COAACO USAAGP Crawford; Michael Broomfield CO US - A system and method for measuring an interferometric signal from a swept-wavelength interferometer by scanning a tunable laser source over two wavelength ranges, whose centers are separated substantially more than the length of wavelength ranges. The spatial resolution of the measurement is determined by the inverse of the wavelength separation between a first and second wavelength region, as well as by the wavelength range of the first and second regions. An electronically tunable laser may be utilized to produce two wavelength ranges that are widely separated in wavelength. Such a system and method has wide applications to the fields of optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) and swept-wavelength optical coherence tomography (OCT), for example. | 01-17-2013 |
20130223461 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN OPTIMUM SIDE-MODE SUPPRESSION RATIO CONTINUOUS TUNING PATH FOR A SEMICONDUCTOR TUNABLE LASER - A system and method to determine data sets of front mirror current, back mirror current and phase current that change the wavelength output by a semiconductor laser in a prescribed trajectory versus time, while maintaining the maximum side-mode suppression ratio at each point during the sweep. | 08-29-2013 |

20130044312 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELIMINATING THE EFFECT OF NON-PRIMARY LASER MODES ON CHARACTERIZATION OF OPTICAL COMPONENTS THROUGH CHARACTERIZED DECOMPOSITION - A method and a system for characterization of optical components through characterized decomposition of an optical device includes: directing incident light over a range of wavelengths to a device under test, wherein the incident light includes a primary signal and at least one sideband signal, the distance between the primary signal and any one of the sideband signals is substantially larger than the width of the band pass area of the device under test; detecting output light from the device under test to obtain a detected signal; correcting the detected signal to account errors associated with the sideband signal. | 02-21-2013 |
20130044329 | System and Method for Interlacing Differing Coherence Length Sweeps to Improve OCT Image Quality - A system and method for sweeping electromagnetic radiation over a first coherence length and a second length over a range of wavelengths to generate an image. Electromagnetic radiation having a first coherence length is generated and swept over a range of wavelengths. Electromagnetic radiation having a second coherence length is generated and swept over a range of wavelengths. The electromagnetic radiation is splitting through a reference path and a sample path; Electromagnetic radiation returned from the reference path and the sample path is detected, wherein the detector generates output signals corresponding to the received electromagnetic radiation. In one embodiment, the output signals are processed to generate an image. The image may be interleaved with data corresponding to the electromagnetic radiation having the first coherence length and the second coherence length. | 02-21-2013 |
20130044771 | System and Method for Optimization of Coherence Length of Tunable Laser Sources - A system and method for adjusting the coherence length of a tunable laser to optimize measurements and reduce artifacts. A tuning element of the laser system modulates, adjusts, or controls parameters associate with the tunable laser, such that the output wavelength of the tunable laser is modulated or adjusted over a wavelength range within a time interval. Modulation of the parameter has the effect of increasing a linewidth of the tunable laser. | 02-21-2013 |
20130046499 | System and Method Utilizing Time-Slice-Eradication to Eliminate the Effects of Wavelength Non-Linearities from Swept-Wavelength Testing of Optical Components for Sources with Non-Linearities - A system and method for correcting non-linearities in the output of a tunable laser over a sweep range. Electromagnetic radiation is directed over a range of wavelengths to a measurement system from the tunable laser source, wherein the measurement system collects data over the range of wavelengths. The electromagnetic radiation emitted over the range of wavelengths is monitored. A non-linearity in one or more wavelengths over the range of wavelengths is determined. A signal is transmitted to the measurement system to cease collecting data when the one or more wavelengths having the non-linearity is output from the tunable laser source or the data is ignored. | 02-21-2013 |
20130064493 | MULTI-FIBER POLARIZATION SCRAMBLER/CONTROLLER - A system and method for applying polarization scrambling through a device to a plurality of fiber optic cables by applying a compressive load simultaneously to each of the plurality of fiber optic cables in order to scramble polarization to each of the plurality of fiber optic cables simultaneously. | 03-14-2013 |
