摘要： Apparatus and method for increasing the concentration of a chemical substance in a fluid comprise a micro-fluidic elongated channel formed in a substrate, with the channel being in fluid-flow communication with an ambient region along its elongated dimension. In general, the fluid includes first and second chemical substances having different vapor pressures. The apparatus includes an evaporation controller for increasing the evaporation rate of the fluid from the channel into the ambient region, thereby increasing the concentration of the lower vapor pressure (LVP) substance in the portion of the fluid remaining in the channel and increasing the concentration of the higher vapor pressure (HVP) substance in the portion of the fluid evaporated into the ambient region.

摘要： Linear photo-oriented polymer (LPP) layers are situated to align liquid crystals in a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layer situated at or on the LPP layers. The LCP layer can include a guest such as a fluorophore that aligns with the liquid crystal so as to emit polarized fluorescence in response to an excitation beam. Layer LPP/LCP structures can be provided as light emitters, patterned polarizers, patterned retarders and other devices based on selection of one or more guest materials included in the LCP and alignable with the liquid crystal.

摘要： Apparatus for storing an optical image of an object comprises an imaging device having a multiplicity of pixels, each pixel including a light sensor and a multiplicity of storage cells coupled to the sensor. A lens system focuses light from the object onto the imaging device. Within each pixel a first one of its storage cells is configured to store data corresponding to a first exposure of its sensor to light from the object, and a second one of its storage cells is configured to store data corresponding to a second exposure of its sensor to light from the object. In a preferred embodiment, the pixels are arranged in an array extending along a first direction, and during the time interval between the first and second exposures, a translator is configured to produce, in a second direction, a relative translation or shift between the imaging device and the focal point of the lens system. In one embodiment, the second direction is traverse to the first direction. In a preferred embodiment, each pixel comprises a photosensitive region, and the pixels are shifted by a distance that is approximately equal to one half the pitch of the photosensitive regions as measured in the second direction. In this fashion, the invention increases the spatial resolution by increasing the effective number of pixels of the sensor without increasing the actual number of pixels. In alternative embodiment of the invention, the dynamic range of the sensor is enhanced.

摘要： A tunable microlens is disclosed that having a substrate with a non-zero radius of curvature in a way such that the microlens is able to achieve a new directional view without manual repositioning. The directional view of the microlens is altered by applying a voltage to at least one of a plurality of electrodes and thereby causing a voltage differential between the at least one of a plurality of electrodes and a conducting droplet of liquid disposed on the substrate with a non-zero radius of curvature. As the droplet moves to a different point along the surface of the substrate having a non-zero radius of curvature, the directional view the microlens changes in a way such that light originating from the new directional view is more advantageously focused into an image on a detector. The field of view of the microlens is limited only by the area on the substrate over which the droplet can move. An array of such microlenses may be used to facilitate a wider field of view.

摘要： An improved attenuated phase-shifting mask (APSM) for use with an imaging tool for forming a patterned feature on a photoresist layer of a semiconductor wafer. The APSM has a transmissive region for substantially transmitting light therethrough to form a projected image substantially shaped as the patterned feature on the photoresist layer. The APSM also has an attenuating and phase-shifting region, contiguous with the transmissive region, for absorbing a portion of the light incident thereon and for shifting the phase of the incident light by a predetermined number of degrees relative to that of the light transmitted through the transmissive region so as to destructively interfere with the light transmitted through the transmissive region and to project a background image. The transmissive region has a dimension d dimensioned such that the intensity of the image projected by the transmissive region is darker than the intensity of the background image projected by the attenuating and phase-shifting region of the mask and that the intensity of the background image is substantially uniform.

摘要： An imager utilizes a division of focal plane polarization and color camera to measure motion, depth and orientation of objects in a scene in real-time. In various examples, structured light, polarization-controlled discrete reflectors, and/or spatially varying discrete light sources are used to provide light of controlled polarization and color from an object in a scene to a camera. The camera utilizes a pixelated optical filter with a pattern of varying polarization filters across the pixel array, and optionally an integrated color filter pattern. Light measurements are processed to determine polarization state of light received from the object, whence orientation, position, and/or other properties of the object are determined. Systems are operable with a single camera. Applications include virtual reality, gaming, robotics, autonomous vehicles, tele-surgery, industrial automation, 3-D scanning, surveillance, and remote interaction.

摘要： A polarization camera includes a microlement polarizer that is situated in proximity to a focal plane array. The microlement polarizer is selectively scanned with respect to an optical image direct to the focal plane array, and an image processor stores a set of images associated with the scanning. Based on the stored images, a polarization image can be produced and displayed. A periodic microelement polarizer modulates the individual images of the set, and these images can be processed by filtering in the spatial frequency domain to isolate contributions associated with one or a combination of Stokes parameters. After filtering, Stokes parameter based images can be obtained by demodulating and inverse Fourier transforming the filtered frequency domain data.
