Introduction

Eric Teller is an inventor associated with Palo Alto, California, and Taara Connect, Inc. His patent work concerns an optical tracking module designed for a wireless optical communication terminal.

Latest Patents

Teller is associated with 1 patent: “Optical Tracking Module Chip for Wireless Optical Communication Terminal.” The invention combines an optical phased array (OPA), an analog drive, an integrated photodetector, and one or more processors on an integrated circuit. The OPA contains array elements and phase shifters, which the analog drive adjusts. The photodetector receives light from the OPA, while the processors extract signal information from an incoming beam and use that information to control an outgoing beam through the analog drive. This arrangement supports optical tracking and beam control in a wireless communication terminal.

Career Highlights

Teller’s listed patent reflects work on integrating optical components and processing functions into a single circuit. The design links incoming-beam signal extraction with outgoing-beam control, an approach relevant to optical communication systems.

Collaborations

Teller is associated with Taara Connect, Inc. His listed coworkers include Baris Ibrahim Erkmen and Devin Brinkley.

Conclusion

Eric Teller’s patent focuses on an integrated optical tracking module that processes incoming light and controls outgoing beams for wireless optical communication.
