Stabilised poled waveguide
|
11884
|
Poling creates a useful non-linearity in glasses; however its lifetime or stability is an issue. This invention provides a means of stabilising the induced non-linearity and substantially extending the lifetime.

Novel Capillaries and Canes for Constructing Microstructured Fibre Preforms
|
4608
|
A method of producing polymer holey optical fibre (mPOF) using novel capillary and cane designs that allows the construction of complex holey structures.

Plasma treated surfaces as a versatile platform for the attachment of bioactive protein for use in biomedical devices
|
10132
|
Plasma treatment which introduces covalent attachment sites for robust binding of biological materials and makes the surfaces more hydrophilic to enable better retention of conformation. Proteins attached to these surfaces retain considerable biological activity.

An inexpensive all Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) Monitor
|
11016
|
The invention allows superior control of networks by providing information about the operational state of key network elements. It relies upon a nonlinear process to produce a signal whose average amplitude is a unique function of the optical signal to noise.

A High Repetition Rate, Short Pulse, Self-Starting Laser
|
11014
|
This novel design of laser substantially improves on conventional mode-locked lasers. It permits very high repetition rate and reliable self-starting. This is achieved by incorportaion of an Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) in the "Figure of Eight" configuration.

Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres
|
3212
|
Microstructured polymer optical fibres use a pattern of holes running the length of the fibre to achieve their optical effects. They use a single polymer material, and modifications of the microstructure can produce a wide variety of optical effects, some of which are difficult, or impossible to achieve using conventional polymer fibres.

Anomalous Expansion Materials
|
10943
|
A broad family of materials that display highly unusual temperature dependent dimensions and variations. These include materials that shrink with increasing temperature, and materials that are temperature invariant, i.e. their dimensions do not alter with temperature.

|
Tunable Optical Supercontinuum Enhancement
|
11055
|
The invention enables the spectral power within a narrow band of a broad spectrum of supercontinuum radiation to be significantly enhanced with simple components such as a long period grating in an optical fibre.

WeldPrint™ – real time quality monitoring in automated welding applications
|
10808
|
Signature Image Processing (SIP) technology, known as WeldPrint™, which analyses electrical data collected from welding processes - usually automated, robotic welding - and identifies welding faults in real time, measures the stability of welding, and enables welding processes to be optimised..
