20130167848 | Heel Protection Device - A heel protection method and device for the protection of heel ulcers includes an inflatable bladder adapted to be positioned adjacent a calf of a patient and a sensor adapted to be positioned adjacent a heel of the patient for detecting pressure at the heel. A microprocessor is adapted to receive a signal related to pressure at the heel, from which it determines whether an allowable level has been exceeded. If an excessive pressure level is sensed, the microprocessor transmits a signal to a separate device that alerts the caregiver to inflate the inflatable bladder or automatically by way of a pump operatively connected to the microprocessor. The method and device avoids excessive pressure at the heel by sensing the pressure at the heel, and redistributing the pressure from the heel to the calf if an allowable pressure level has been exceeded. | 07-04-2013 |

20130286397 | SPECTROSCOPY SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING QUANTUM CASCADE LASER ARRAYS WITH LENSES - A spectroscopy system includes an array of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that emits an array of non-coincident laser beams. A lens array coupled to the QCL array substantially collimates the laser beams, which propagate along parallel optical axes towards a sample. The beams remain substantially collimated over the lens array's working distance, but may diverge when propagating over longer distances. The collimated, parallel beams may be directed to/through the sample, which may be within a sample cell, flow cell, multipass spectroscopic absorption cell, or other suitable holder. Alternatively, the beams may be focused to a point on, near, or within the target using a telescope or other suitable optical element(s). When focused, however, the beams remain non-coincident; they simply intersect at the focal point. The target transmits, reflects, and/or scatters this incident light to a detector, which transduces the detected radiation into an electrical signal representative of the target's absorption or emission spectrum. | 10-31-2013 |
20140027708 | PHOTONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS BASED ON QUANTUM CASCADE STRUCTURES - Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are based on quantum cascade (QC) structures.

Ion implantation may be used to create energetically deep trap levels to trap free charge carriers. Other embodiments include modifying a region of a passive, depleted QC structure to produce an active region capable of optical gain. Gain or loss may also be modified by partially depleting or enhancing free charge carrier density. QC lasers and amplifiers may be integrated monolithically with each other or with passive waveguides and other passive devices in a self-aligned manner.

In one embodiment, the source comprises an array of semiconductor laser devices operating simultaneously. Each device emits light at wavelength different from the wavelengths emitted by the other devices in the array and the devices are arranged so that the combined output continuously covers the broad spectral range. In another embodiment, each of the lasers in the array is a quantum cascade laser device. In still another embodiment, the quantum cascade laser devices in the array are operated in the regime of Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken (RNGH) instabilities.

20110310915 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SINGLE-MODE SELECTION IN QUANTUM CASCADE LASERS - Methods and apparatus for improved single-mode selection in a quantum cascade laser. In one example, a distributed feedback grating incorporates both index-coupling and loss-coupling components. The loss-coupling component facilitates selection of one mode from two possible emission modes by periodically incorporating a thin layer of “lossy” semiconductor material on top of the active region to introduce a sufficiently large loss difference between the two modes. The lossy layer is doped to a level sufficient to induce considerable free-carrier absorption losses for one of the two modes while allowing sufficient gain for the other of the two modes. In alternative implementations, the highly-doped layer may be replaced by other low-dimensional structures such as quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots with significant engineered intraband absorption to selectively increase the free-carrier absorption losses for one of multiple possible modes so as to facilitate single-mode operation. | 12-22-2011 |

For example, one gain region may be configured to produce gain in an energy range in which another gain region produces absorptive effects. The thickness of the spacer layer may be selected to separate optical modes produced by adjacent gain regions while still producing a single broadband output from the quantum cascade laser. Gain competition between gain stages within a gain region may be mitigated by dividing gain stages with overlapping gain curves among multiple gain regions. | 06-13-2013 |
20130156052 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TEMPERATURE TUNING OF SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS - The present technology relates to a fast and efficient heating element based on a thick heterostructure which is monolithically integrated in close proximity to one or more components of a photonic or an electronic circuit. Inventive embodiments also relate to methods of use illustrative heating elements to control or tune the characteristics of the electronic or photonic component(s). Inventive embodiments may be particularly useful in the fast spectral tuning of the emission wavelength of single mode QCLs. | 06-20-2013 |
20130208743 | BROADBAND QUANTUM CASCADE LASER SOURCE - A broadband quantum cascade laser (QCL) source includes one or more QCLs having an active region designed based on a diagonal laser transition. The QCL source may include multiple QCLs formed in an array or the QCL source may comprise a single QCL device. Although each QCL provides an emission spectrum comprising a small range of wavelengths at a given applied voltage, changes in the applied operating voltage result in changes in the emission spectrum of the QCL due to the Stark shift. When the QCL source comprises a plurality of QCLs formed in an array, at least some of the elements in the array may receive different applied operating voltages such that the combined output spectrum of the array is broader than that achievable by a single QCL. When the QCL source comprises a single QCL device, an applied operating voltage may be swept through a range of applied voltages such that that combined output spectrum over one sweep cycle is broader than the output spectrum of the QCL device when a static operating voltage is applied. Alternatively, the single QCL device may comprise multiple independent gain sections, wherein each of the independent gain sections is configured to operate at a different voltages to provide a broadband output spectrum. | 08-15-2013 |

20120123181 | Charged Seed Cloud as a Method for Increasing Particle Collisions and for Scavenging Airborne Biological Agents and Other Contaminants - A system and method is provided for increasing interaction between seed particles in a seed cloud and target particles to be neutralized, detected or knocked down to the ground. This is achieved by applying a charge to the seed particles so that the seed cloud formed by release of the seed particles at altitude is highly charged, which in turn produces a strong electric field between the seed cloud and ground. The relatively strong electric field causes the seed particles to move downward (toward the ground) at a velocity sufficient to increase interaction (collisions) between the seed particles and the target particles. | 05-17-2012 |
