Patent CA-2636186-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OTANI AKIHITO
IPC: H04B10/079
Filed: 2007-12-11
Abstract: An electroabsorption optical modulator used as an element for sampling comprises two optical terminals for inputting/outputting a light beam and a power supply terminal for imparting an electric field to an optical path connecting the two optical terminals and has a characteristic that the absorptivity to the light propagating through the optical path varies with the magnitude of the magnetic field. The optical signal which is the object of monitoring (synchronous sampling) is made to enter one of the two optical terminals. A predetermined DC voltage exhibiting a high absorptivity to the optical signal is applied to the power supply terminal. A sampling optical pulse is made to enter the other optical terminal through an optical coupler.  Because of the mutual absorption saturation characteristic of the electroabsorption optical modulator caused when the sampling optical pulse enters the other terminal, the absorptivity to the optical signal is decreased, and thus the optical signal undergoes synchronous sampling. As a result, the optical signal is made to exit from the other optical terminal through the optical coupler.

Patent CA-2664388-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYER TONY
IPC: F21V9/00
Filed: 2006-09-25
Abstract: An active infra-red surveillance illuminator uses a statistically mono-directional micro-diffractive material overlaid on a bank of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to refract light from the LEDs onto a target image. This delivers energy distribution profiles out to a distance to match the aspect ratios of current wide-angle target and wide-angle camera surveillance systems. The distribution of refracted light is elliptical. This distribution can vary by using different diffractive material in conjunction with various numbers, brightness and angles of the LEDs in an LED bank. The effective range of the illuminators is greatly extended with this type of illumination. By limiting infrared (IR) radiation down to a 10 degree vertical window it renders the IR illumination much more effective for surveillance imaging by providing much more effective power on wide, ground-level scenes, and particularly enables multi-lane license plate capture.
