摘要： A sequential color system with reduced or eliminated global temporal notching losses may be implemented with a buffered display panel. Fast global blanking and/or inter-field images may be used to reduce or eliminate the global temporal notching losses. When consecutive states of a pixel are “on,” an inter-field image may be displayed by maintaining the pixel in an “on” state instead of turning the pixel “off” and then turning the pixel “on.” This improves the color brightness and saturation. The display may be implemented with a color wheel or with a color switch.

摘要： A birefringent network can be formed from a pair of beam directing elements that sandwich a birefringent filter. One of the beam director elements can be a polarizing beam splitter and the other of the beam director elements can be a reflector or polarizing beam splitter. The polarizing beam splitters can be formed by an anisotropic material sandwiched between two isotropic pieces and can include optical films to couple both polarizations of light into and out of the beam splitters. The polarizing beam splitters also can be formed by anisotropic material on either side of an isotropic bow-tie piece, all of which is sandwiched a pair of isotropic pieces. A birefringent network also can be formed by a pair of bulk birefringent beam splitters sandwiching a birefringent filter. Little or no polarization mode dispersion occurs in these birefringent networks since all of the beams travel the same distances through the same elements.

摘要： The selective filtering of light by polarization interference may be used to enhance vision and/or protect eyes from harmful light rays. For example, such filtering may be used in sunglasses, color corrective eyewear or protective eyewear. The selective filtering of incident light may provide any desired spectral transmission (including visible light and light not visible to the eye) and is performed by a pair of polarizing elements that sandwich a retarder stack. The filtering structure may be formed by multi-layer polarizing structures and may be formed by fabricating sheet laminates that are die cut to form inexpensive laminates. The laminates may be flat or curved in one (e.g., wrap-around) or more dimensions.

摘要： The present invention provides a high brightness color selective light modulator (CSLM) formed by a polarization modulator positioned between two retarder stacks. The modulator changes the apparent orientation of one retarder stack relative to the other so that, in a first switching state of the modulator the two retarder stacks cooperate in filtering the spectrum of input light, and in a second switching state the two retarder stacks complement each other, yielding a neutral transmission spectrum. Two or more CSLM stages can be used in series, each stage providing independent control of a primary color. One preferred embodiment eliminates internal polarizers between CSLM stages, thereby providing an additive common-path full-color display with only two neutral polarizers. Hybrid filters can be made using the CSLMs of this invention, in combination with other active or passive filters. The CSLMs of this invention can be used in many applications, particularly in the areas of recording and displaying color images. They can be arranged in a multi pixel array by pixelating the active elements, and can be implemented as color filter arrays, using patterned passive retarders rather than active polarization modulators.

摘要： To greatly increase the sensitivity of a Heterodyne Ladar System, the receiver incorporates an optical preamplifier to amplify the ladar return signal prior to detection. This results in an increase in return signal power on the order of 25 dB. Spontaneous emission noise added by the fiber amplifier counters this gain in a normal scheme. The proposed receiver, however, incorporates a Polarization Optical Mixer to perform balanced mixing, thus rejecting added spontaneous emission beat noise terms and resulting in a large increase in system sensitivity.

摘要： A compound retarder that creates independent control of Re and Rth. This can be done by forming a three-layer compound retarder, including a pair of matched −A-plates, combined with single +A-plate. The +A-plate is typically an MD-stretched film, with retardation that is specific to the in-plane requirements (Re) of the application. The pair of −A-plates have their optic axes crossed, such that Re=0, with an optic axis aligned parallel to the +A-plate. A single retardation value for the −A-plate can produce improved field-of-view performance over a broad range of Revalues, making it a very practical means of universal compensation. While Rthis typically associated with a single retarder, retarder stacks with a diverse range of optic-axis orientations can be considered to have a compound (or composite) Rth value (RthC). The three-layer compound retarder has the practical benefit of enabling field-of-view compensation across a broad range of normal-incidence polarization transformations.

摘要： The present disclosure describes a manufacturing method for seaming materials. The process may be suitable for manufacturing high performance projection screens using a number of methods including, but not limited to, conventional (convert-before-coating) methods, or convert-after-coating methods. An objective of the present disclosure is to identify a process which may substantially minimize distortion of the local surface normal in the vicinity of the join.
