Title: Gregory J Steckman: Innovator in Laser Technology
Introduction
Gregory J Steckman is a notable inventor based in Glendora, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of laser technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and measurement of optical systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Output coupler for external cavity laser." This invention features an external cavity laser equipped with a volume holographic VHG output coupler. The VHG facet is coated with a high reflectivity coating, close to 100%, to reflect the second harmonic (SH) light generated within the cavity. The design allows the SH light to be either reflected directly out of the cavity or redirected back towards the optics that deflect the SH light out of the cavity.
Another significant patent is "Method and apparatus for wafer-level measurement of volume holographic gratings." This invention describes a system for measuring volume holograms on a wafer scale, enabling high-resolution and high-throughput measurement of grating parameters. The system utilizes a collimated beam from a fixed wavelength light source, which is transmitted through the wafer. The transmitted beam is then imaged onto a sensor to measure beam power under various conditions, allowing for the determination of grating characteristics such as spacing, tilt angle, and diffraction efficiency.
