Title: Innovations by Alex T Tran: A Pioneer in Optical Sensing Technologies

Introduction

Alex T Tran, an accomplished inventor based in Madison, NJ, has made significant contributions to the field of optical sensing technologies. With an impressive portfolio of 20 patents, Tran has specialized in developing advanced sensors that address crucial detection needs, particularly in biological applications.

Latest Patents

Among his latest inventions is the "Optical Substance Analyzer," which features a portable waveguide sensor equipped with one or more gratings. This innovative sensor utilizes a waveguide with grooves that form a Bragg grating, designed to detect biological pathogens through a functional layer that binds these substances. When a pathogen attaches to this layer, the spectral reflection band is altered, indicating the presence of the pathogen by allowing light to pass through the grating.

Another notable invention involves molecular detection using a cantilever-integrated optical waveguide. This method employs microscopic cantilevers to detect ligands in liquids by measuring the deflection caused when a ligand binds to the functional layer on the cantilever. The deflection can be assessed by evaluating the coupling of light between the optical waveguide on the cantilever and another optical waveguide positioned at a distance.
