Hyperuniform disordered material with resonant structures patent issued

Etaphase’s US9,720,172 patent issued. “Hyperuniform disordered material with resonant structures” Abstract follows: An optical structure includes a Hyperuniform Disordered Solid (“HUDS”) structure, a waveguide, and a resonant cavity. The HUDS structure is formed by walled cells organized in a lattice. The waveguide is configured to guide an optical signal. The resonant cavity is formed along a boundary of the waveguide. The resonant cavity is configured to be resonant at a frequency band that is a subset of a bandwidth of the optical signal.

US Patent Office issues US9,519,104 to Etaphase Abstract follows: An optical structure includes a Hyperuniform Disordered Solid (“HUDS”) structure, a photonic crystal waveguide, and a perforated resonant structure. The HUDS structure is formed by walled cells organized in a lattice. The photonic crystal waveguide is configured to guide an optical signal and includes an unperforated central strip extended lengthwise and three rows of circular perforations disposed on each side of the unperforated central strip. The perforated resonant structure is formed along a boundary of the photonic crystal waveguide. The perforated resonant structure is configured to be resonant at a frequency band that is a subset of a bandwidth of the optical signal. The perforated resonant structure includes an outer segment, a middle segment, and an inner segment of the circular perforations that are offset away from the unperforated central strip at a first, second, and third offset distance.

Frost and Sullivan Report identifies Princeton / Etaphase intellectual property as ‘Key Patent’ in photonics

May 2015 In their recent report, Impact of Photonic Materials in Key Applications, market research firm Frost and Sullivan has called out US application US20140366647 “Narrow-band frequency filters and splitters, photonics sensors, and cavities having pre-selected cavity modes” as a ‘key patent’ in the advance of metamaterials in photonics. Etaphase is the exclusive licensee of this intellectual property. The inventors are Etaphase co-founders and members of the core scientific team. The use of Etaphase’ hyperuniform disordered structures (‘HUDS’) in these photonic components has commercial applications in data communications, optical processing, big data, security and defense.
