SUPERPOSITION DEVICE AND OPTICAL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045223 titled 'SUPERPOSITION DEVICE AND OPTICAL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a superposition device that combines multiple input beams to form an output beam. The device includes four inputs for the entry of four input beams, and an output for the exit of the output beam. It also includes three combination devices for the coherent combination of the input beams to form superposition beams. The device can independently set the polarization direction and power of the output beam based on the relative phase positions of the input beams.

  • The superposition device has four inputs for four input beams and one output for the output beam.
  • It uses combination devices to coherently combine the input beams and form superposition beams.
  • The polarization direction and power of the output beam can be set independently based on the relative phase positions of the input beams.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Optical communication systems
  • Quantum computing
  • Laser technology
  • Interferometry

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient combination of multiple input beams
  • Independent control of polarization direction and power of the output beam

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased flexibility in controlling the output beam
  • Improved performance and efficiency in various applications
  • Enables advanced optical and quantum technologies


Original Abstract Submitted

a superposition device includes four inputs, each respective input for entry of a respective one of four input beams, an output for exit of an output beam, a first combination device for coherent combination of a first input beam and a second input beam to form a first superposition beam, a second combination device for coherent combination of a third input beam and a fourth input beam to form a second superposition beam, and a third combination device for forming the output beam by coherent combination of the first superposition beam and the second superposition beam. the superposition device is configured to set both a polarization direction and a power of the output beam independently of one another based on relative phase positions of individual phases of the four input beams fed to the four inputs in relation to one another.
