Title: John D. Bazzano and Laser Detection Innovation

Introduction

John D. Bazzano is an inventor associated with Perkasie, Pennsylvania, and SRI International. His patent work includes technologies for detecting laser signals using image sensors and optical upconversion.

Latest Patents

Bazzano’s listed patents include “Laser Detection Using Multiple Image Sensors” and “Measurement of a Laser Pulse Repetition Frequency Using Upconversion.” His portfolio includes 2 patents.

“Laser Detection Using Multiple Image Sensors” describes a system that combines a silicon-based image sensor with an upconversion layer of crystals and a second image sensor through a common beam splitter. An optical band-pass filter directs selected wavelengths to the upconversion layer, which converts them into wavelengths detectable by the silicon sensor’s pixels. The system also uses a pulse-repetition-frequency decoder to identify the frequency of a laser flash.
