Title: Innovations of James W. Seeser
Introduction
James W. Seeser is a notable inventor based in Santa Rosa, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical technology, holding a total of nine patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing optical devices and improving visual display technologies.
Latest Patents
One of Seeser's latest patents is the Fabry-Perot optical switch. This invention involves changing the absorption of a spacer material in a Fabry-Perot type structure to achieve an optical switching function. In one embodiment, the spacer material is a semiconductor, and an electronic control signal alters the Fabry-Perot between a transmissive state and a reflective state. In the reflective state, the device operates as a switch that can be modeled as a mirror on a substrate of quasi-infinite thickness. Additionally, a wavelength-selective optical component can be placed between the input of the switch and the Fabry-Perot structure to enhance the spectral response of the switch.
Another significant patent is related to methods and apparatus for providing near-infrared emission suppression and color enhancement in visual display units that utilize plasma display panels. This invention offers methods and apparatus for an electrical noise suppressing and chromaticity enhancing accessory device. The device comprises two rigid substrates laminated together, with an optically selective coating that provides high photopic transmittance and continuous high electrical conductivity for RFI shielding. The combination of IR absorption and color correction results in effective suppression of IR emissions from the plasma display panel while maintaining good photopic transmittance.
