Latest Patents
Matthew J McGill holds a patent for an "Apparatus and method using a holographic optical element for converting a spectral distribution to image points." This invention involves a holographic optical element that transforms a spectral distribution of light into image points. The element consists of areas that function as separate lenses, each imaging light incident in its area to a specific image point. Each area contains a recorded hologram of a point source object. The design allows the image points to align in a linear array, making it compatible with linear array detectors. A version of this element has been developed to match the circular fringe pattern of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The high transmission efficiency of the element, when paired with high quantum efficiency solid-state detectors, creates an efficient photon-collecting detection system. This technology can be utilized in direct detection Doppler lidar systems or multiple field of view lidar systems.
