Latest Patents
One of Gliere's latest patents is an optical device for detecting an acoustic wave. This invention relates to a device and method for detecting an acoustic wave propagating toward a membrane, which carries a waveguide comprising an optical cavity that defines a resonant frequency. Under the effect of a vibration of the membrane, the resonance frequency of the optical cavity varies. The device includes a light source that directs a light wave into the optical cavity, along with a servo circuit that servo-controls the wavelength of the light wave to match the resonant wavelength of the optical cavity. By monitoring the variation in the wavelength of the light wave, the amplitude of the acoustic wave can be estimated.
Another notable patent is a photoacoustic or photothermal detector comprising an optical transducer. This invention is designed for detecting an analyte in a medium. An exciting light source produces an exciting light wave that propagates to the medium and heats it. The device includes a transducer for detecting the heating of the medium. Depending on the embodiment, the transducer can be a thermal transducer, which detects variations in the temperature of the
