A high power optical isolator is able to transfer excess heat to a heat sink, reduce the effect of scattered and reflected light, and be coupled to standard thin optical fibers.
Abstract:
An optical apparatus and methods for operating on a polarization state of a light beam using a compound tri-state non-reciprocal rotator having two Faraday rotators. A first Faraday rotator rotates the polarization state into one of two partially rotated states at angles +α, −α, where α=22.5°, and the second Faraday rotates the polarization state from one of the partially rotated states into one of three fully rotated states at angles +2α, 0, −2α. A polarization selection mechanism guides light in the three fully rotated states differently to enable various devices and different modes of operation. For example, the polarization selection mechanism can generate a tri-state output in the form of two distinct output beams corresponding to two of the three fully rotated states, and an overlapping pair of output beams obtained when the compound tri-state non-reciprocal rotator produces the third of the three fully rotated states. The various methods permitted by the invention permit simple and cost-effective multicasting switches and methods.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a micro-machined switchable optical mirror device with a fast response speed. The mirror device includes a substrate defining a gap space, and a mirror assembly disposed on the substrate and deflectable in the gap space, the mirror assembly including a free end cantilever and a reflector on the cantilever, wherein the cantilever is anchored on the substrate adjacent a side of the gap space through an elastic member. In one aspect, the mirror device further includes a stop spring at an end of the cantilever opposing the elastic member.
Abstract:
A bow shaped, sheet-thin, carbon fiber spring that utilizes the material's special characteristics is disclosed. Carbon fiber filaments are laid along the bow curvature. Cushions made of carbon fiber composite springs provide performance improvements in better shock absorption, lighter weight, better fire safety, and longer life without performance degradation. Example embodiments are shoes, helmets, and seats.
Abstract:
An architecture and techniques to enable a mobile device to efficiently classify raw sensor data into useful high level inferred data is discussed. Classification efficiency is achieved by tuning the mobile device's raw sensor data classification pipeline to attain a balance of accuracy, latency and energy suitable for mobile devices. The tuning of the classification pipeline is accomplished via a multi-pipeline tuning approach that uses Statistical Machine Learning Tools (SMLTs) and a classification cost modeler.
