Title: Innovations of Sami T Hendow
Introduction
Sami T Hendow is a notable inventor based in Los Altos, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to fiber amplifiers and optical network monitoring.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Passive Phasing of Fiber Amplifiers." This invention presents a method that passively locks and phases an array of fiber amplifiers in a fiber amplifier system, which emits a beam, such as a laser beam. The method ensures that the fiber amplifiers operate at the same or similar frequencies. It samples a small portion of the emitted beam in a far-field around a central lobe on an optical axis and couples this portion back into the array of fiber amplifiers. This allows the emitted beam to concentrate its energy around the central lobe in the far-field. Phasing may be achieved by using an aperture to restrict the portion of the emitted beam to a limited region around the optical axis.
Another significant patent is the "Optical Network Monitor." This invention includes a method for monitoring the optical signals of an optical network. It features a spectrograph that includes a detector array, a processor, and outputs. The network monitor receives an optical input signal that comprises individual channels. The optical signal is transmitted onto the spectrograph, which disperses it into the individual channels. These channels are directed onto the detector array, allowing for parallel detection and processing of channel parameter data through internal algorithms to produce outputs.
