Latest Patents
Kossakovski's latest patents include a method and apparatus for distributed sensing of volatiles using a long period fiber grating sensor with modulated plastic coating for environmental monitoring. This invention utilizes optical time domain reflectometry, which is caused by the absorption of a volatile or analyte into the fiber optic cladding, functioning as an optical nose. The fiber optics are covered with a gas-permeable film that features millimeter-wide gas-permeable notches. These notches contain a sensing polymer that responds to different gases by expanding or contracting.
Another notable patent is the method and apparatus for chemical and topographical microanalysis. This invention combines a scanning probe microscope with a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer to provide spatially resolved chemical analysis of surfaces correlated with their topography. The method involves scanning a sharp probe across the sample at a constant distance from the surface while delivering pulsed laser radiation to generate a plasma plume. The optical emission from the plasma is then collected and analyzed to identify the chemical composition of the sample at user-selected sites.
