Researchers at 1) Multimode fiber data-links The array can be matched to
the arrays of multimode fibers that are commonly used in local area data
networks. The proposed detector array
is unusually robust and low cost, with negligible cross-talk compared to
those presently on the market. It is
expected to work out to bandwidths of about 20 MHz. 2) Optical vibration sensor The optical detector array is presently
being designed for detecting vibrations by monitoring a reflected light
beam. Applications include: non-destructive testing, security
monitoring, quality assurance, safety monitoring. The detector array can be scaled to optical
fiber dimensions, enabling a monitor, even without line of sight. 3) Optical detection in the presence of
sunlight The proposed array has a very
large dynamic range and does not lose sensitivity in the presence of
sunlight. A number of applications
using this detector array in the security arena can be envisaged, such as in
the detection of intrusion. This technology is claimed in
the published United States Patent Application Nos. 10/532,453 and 11/413,463. We are seeking an industrial partner
interested in its further development and commercialization. (Ref: J216) |
