Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Apparatus and method for spectrally shaping a laser beam." This invention discloses an optical apparatus designed to spectrally shape a laser beam within a fiber MOPA laser. The apparatus includes a birefringent optic and a linear polarizer, which work together to modulate the power spectral density of the transmitted laser beam. This innovation allows for the transformation of a Gaussian spectral distribution into a uniform spectral distribution, enabling amplification by the power amplifier.
Another notable patent is the "Fiber polarization scrambler." This optical apparatus is designed for depolarizing a laser beam within a fiber MOPA laser. It includes a first phase modulator for spectral broadening, a linear polarizer, an optical coupler, a second phase modulator for depolarizing the laser beam, and a polarization-maintaining optical fiber. This invention provides independent control of spectral broadening and depolarization, effectively mitigating stimulated Brillouin scattering during subsequent amplification.
