Variable Polarization Separation Via Beam Splitter Rotation

US Patent:
2014007, Mar 20, 2014
Filed:
May 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/119797
Inventors:
Eric E. Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
Mark E. Froggatt - Blacksburg VA, US
Assignee:
LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED - Roanoke VA
International Classification:
G02B 27/28
G01J 4/00
US Classification:
356491, 35948908
Abstract:
An apparatus for separating polarization of light includes a rotatable beam splitter including an input for receiving light with a first polarization and an output for outputting light with a second polarization different from the first polarization. Rotation of the rotatable beam splitter changes the first polarization of the input light to the second polarization of the output light. An optical network and method are also set forth.

Methods And Apparatus For Determining Shape Parameter(S) Using A Sensing Fiber Having A Single Core With Multiple Light Propagating Modes

US Patent:
2022041, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Aug 30, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/899463
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Dawn K. Gifford - Blacksburg VA, US
Eric E. Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
Alexander K. Sang - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:
G01D 5/353
G01J 1/04
G02B 6/02
Abstract:
Example embodiments include an optical interrogation system with a sensing fiber having a single core, the single core having multiple light propagating modes. Interferometric apparatus probes the single core multimode sensing fiber over a range of predetermined wavelengths and detects measurement interferometric data associated with the multiple light propagating modes of the single core for each predetermined wavelength in the range. Data processing circuitry processes the measurement interferometric data associated with the multiple light propagating modes of the single core to determine one or more shape-sensing parameters of the sensing fiber from which the shape of the fiber in three dimensions can be determined.

Micro Optic Assemblies And Optical Interrogation Systems

US Patent:
2023003, Feb 2, 2023
Filed:
Oct 12, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/964799
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Eric E. Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
Alexander K. Sang - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:
G01B 11/16
G02B 6/02
G02B 27/30
G01B 9/02
G01D 5/353
G02B 5/04
G02B 27/28
Abstract:
Example embodiments include an optical assembly for an optical interrogation system having a single core or a multicore sensing fiber, a measurement fiber to couple light into the sensing fiber, and a reference fiber arranged with the measurement fiber as part of an optical interferometer. A beam splitter combines light from the sensing fiber and with light from the reference fiber. A polarization beam splitting prism separates the combined light into first polarized light and second polarized light that is orthogonal to the first polarized light. The optical assembly can substantially reduce the size, complexity, or cost associated with the traditional optical components in an optical interrogation system that it replaces. Other example optical assemblies are described. Embodiments describe optical interrogation systems using the example optical assemblies.

Fiber Management In Medical Instrument Backend

US Patent:
2020009, Mar 26, 2020
Filed:
Nov 8, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/678728
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Vincent Duindam - San Francisco CA, US
Mark Froggatt - Blacksburg VA, US
Eric Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:
A61B 34/20
G02B 23/26
G02B 6/36
A61B 5/06
A61B 1/005
A61B 1/07
Abstract:
A flexible tool includes an optical fiber including a proximal end, a distal end, an intermediate portion between the proximal end and the distal end and an adjustable bend between the proximal end and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion may be constrained to have a single degree of freedom that is translational substantially along an axis defined by the optical fiber at the intermediate portion. The adjustable bend may be enclosed with a housing that provides space within the housing for the adjustable bend to adjust. The optical fiber may be used to provide shape sensing of the flexible tool.

Polarization Control With Low Polarization-Mode Dispersion

US Patent:
2020005, Feb 20, 2020
Filed:
Oct 25, 2017
Appl. No.:
16/348495
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Eric E. Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:

Abstract:
Optical polarization control devices that include two pairs of squeezing plates oriented in mutually perpendicular directions are described. Compressive forces exerted by the two pairs of plates onto an optical fiber can be configured for low polarization mode dispersion.

Interferometric Alignment Of Optical Multicore Fibers To Be Connected

US Patent:
2019039, Dec 26, 2019
Filed:
Aug 12, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/538555
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Eric E. Sanborn - Blacksburg VA, US
Jeffrey T. LaCroix - Blacksburg VA, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/38
G02B 6/02
G01M 11/00
G01B 11/27
Abstract:
The ends of sensing and interrogating multicore fibers are brought into proximity for connection in a first orientation with one or more cores in the sensing fiber being paired up with corresponding one or more cores in the interrogating fiber. Optical interferometry is used to interrogate at least one core pair and to determine a first reflection value that represents a degree of alignment for the core pair in the first orientation. The relative position is adjusted between the ends of the fibers to a second orientation. Interferometry is used to interrogate the core pair and determine a second reflection value that represents a degree of alignment for the core pair in the second orientation. The first reflection value is compared with the second reflection value, and an aligned orientation is identified for connecting the sensing and interrogating fibers based on the comparison.
