Method And Apparatus For Optical Coherence Tomography With A Multispectral Laser Source

View page
US Patent:
6538817, Mar 25, 2003
Filed:
Oct 17, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/690562
Inventors:
Jason N. Farmer - Kenmore WA
Charles I. Miyake - Kirkland WA
Assignee:
Aculight Corporation - Bothell WA
International Classification:
G02B 2710
US Classification:
359618
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing optical coherence tomography using a wavelength multiplexed source is provided. The single output beam of the source is of a large bandwidth, thus providing a high resolution tomography system. In order to achieve high contrast as well, the wavelength multiplexed source has minimal wavelength separation between spectrally adjacent lasers and has an output beam with an approximately Gaussian spectral shape. The source is preferably comprised of one or more multi-gain element arrays multiplexed together within a single external resonator cavity. Interposed between the array and the resonator cavity output coupler are a collimating element and a diffraction grating. The collimating element can be a refractive optic, a reflective optic, or, for some applications, a  pitch GRIN lens. The diffraction grating can either be transmissive or reflective.

Multiwavelength Laser For Illumination Of Photo-Dynamic Therapy Drugs

US Patent:
6542524, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
Feb 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/795650
Inventors:
Charles Miyake - Kirkland WA, 98033
International Classification:
H01S 310
US Classification:
372 23, 372 53
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for converting a pump laser beam having a first wavelength to an output beam of a second wavelength. The wavelength conversion device includes a solid medium impregnated with dye laser which is rotated at a speed which is slow enough to allow the dye material to lase and fast enough to reduce thermally induced optical aberrations and triplet state absorption. The medium and method provide a variety of output laser wavelengths suitable for treating diseases of the eye. In the preferred embodiment, the medium has the dimensions of a standard compact disk.

Method And Apparatus For Fiber Bragg Grating Production

View page
US Patent:
6832024, Dec 14, 2004
Filed:
Nov 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/042943
Inventors:
David C. Gerstenberger - Bothell WA, 98011
Mark S. Bowers - Bothell WA, 98011
Dennis D. Lowenthal - Edmonds WA, 98020
Jason N. Farmer - Vancouver WA, 98665
Roy D. Mead - Edmonds WA, 98020
Charles I. Miyake - Kirkland WA, 98033
International Classification:
G02B 634
US Classification:
385 37, 359328, 372 22
Abstract:
A wide variety of Fiber Bragg writing devices comprising solid state lasers are provided. The solid state lasers emit moderate peak-power output beams which are suitable for efficient production of fiber Bragg gratings without causing embrittlement of the optical waveguide. These solid state lasers generate fourth harmonic output beams with wavelengths of approximately 240 nm, in order to match the primary absorption peak in the ultraviolet range for a typical optical waveguide. Some of these solid state lasers comprise a fequency-doubling crystal and a CLBO crystal used in a non-critically phase-matched orientation as a frequency-quadrupling crystal. In such lasers, both the frequency-doubling crystal and frequency-quadrupling crystal are preferably engineered to minimize or eliminate beam âwalkoff. â.

US Patent:
6836592, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
Oct 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/038099
Inventors:
Roy M. Mead - Edmonds WA
Charles I. Miyake - Kirkland WA
Assignee:
Aculight Corporation - Bothell WA
International Classification:
G02B 634
US Classification:
385 37, 385 39
Abstract:
A wide variety of Fiber Bragg writing devices comprising solid state lasers are provided. The solid state lasers emit moderate peak-power output beams which are suitable for efficient production of fiber Bragg gratings without causing embrittlement of the optical waveguide. These solid state lasers generate output beams with wavelengths of approximately 240 nm, in order to match the primary absorption peak in the ultraviolet range for a typical optical waveguide. In some embodiments, the solid state lasers comprise Ti:sapphire lasers which are tuned to produce fundamental wavelengths which are frequency-multiplied. In other embodiments, the output beam of a Ti:sapphire laser is mixed with a harmonic beam from a pump laser. Some embodiments output the third harmonic of a fundamental beam.

US Patent:
7184616, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Oct 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/040286
Inventors:
Roy M. Mead - Edmonds WA, US
Charles I. Miyake - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:
Aculight Corporation - Bothell WA
International Classification:
G02F 1/295
US Classification:
385 10, 385 37, 359326, 359327, 359328, 359329, 359330, 359331, 359332
Abstract:
Fiber Bragg writing devices comprising solid state lasers are provided. The solid state lasers comprise optical parametric oscillators and emit moderate peak-power output beams at wavelengths which are suitable for efficient production of fiber Bragg gratings without causing embrittlement of the optical waveguide. These solid state lasers generate output beams with wavelengths of approximately 240 nm, in order to match the primary absorption peak in the ultraviolet range for a typical optical waveguide. Some of these solid state lasers generate tunable wavelength beams using an optical parametric oscillator (“OPO”), then generate harmonics of these tunable beams. Other lasers mix the tunable beam with fixed wavelengths derived from the pump laser to reach the desired output wavelength.
