Spatio-Temporal Profilometer And Performing Time-Resolved Spatial Prolifometry For Producing A Uniform Light Profile
Published Patent Application Number: 2024/0027680
Problem
The invention solves the problem of creating wide, optical beams that have uniform intensity through their cross-section.
Invention
The invention is a device that creates uniform illumination profiles using a single waveguide structure. Input light can be from another waveguide (e.g., an optical fiber) or a free-space light source.
Potential Commercial Applications
This invention is useful in optical measurement systems, including optofluidic applications such as cytometry and imaging.
Competitive Advantage
The invention is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and adapt to other systems, is robust (durable), and is small in size and does not require additional optical components.
