Title: Christopher Russell Wagner: Innovator in Optical Technology

Introduction

Christopher Russell Wagner is a distinguished inventor based in Kanata, Canada, known for his impactful contributions to optical technology. With a remarkable portfolio of 14 patents, Wagner has consistently demonstrated his innovative prowess, particularly in the field of optical signal processing and attenuation.

Latest Patents

Among his latest inventions, Wagner has developed the "Variable Optical Attenuator Arrays." This sophisticated device includes an input collimator and an output collimator, which align within the same surface of a Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) enclosure. A retroreflector captures a light beam from the input collimator and redirects it to the output collimator. The VOA incorporates attenuation elements that can be adjusted via miniature motors, which may consist of gradient index (GRIN) elements, polarizers, neutral density filters, or wavelength tunable filters.

Another significant invention by Wagner is the "Dual-Amplifier Circuit for Optical Signals." This system is designed to amplify optical signals specifically for optical measurement instrumentation. It features a logarithmic amplifier circuit in the first amplification path, along with a linear amplifier circuit and a second logarithmic amplifier circuit arranged serially in the second path. The amplified signals from both paths are processed by a selection circuit that determines the output based on specific power thresholds, enhancing the measurement capabilities of optical devices.
