SPECKLE MITIGATION DEVICES INCLUDING DYNAMIC MICROSTRUCTURAL MATERIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295793 titled 'SPECKLE MITIGATION DEVICES INCLUDING DYNAMIC MICROSTRUCTURAL MATERIALS
The abstract describes a device with a pair of electrodes and a dynamic material between them that can change states in response to an electric field. The material includes tetragonal lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) and lanthanide series elements. The method involves doping PMN-PT with lanthanide elements to form tetragonal PMN-PT and creating a nanostructured coupling element for high index waveguides.

Original Abstract Submitted
a device includes a pair of electrodes and a dynamic material disposed between the pair of electrodes, the dynamic material including a crystalline microstructure configured to change between at least two states in response to a change in an electric field between the two electrodes. a material includes tetragonal lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (pmn-pt) and at least one lanthanide series element. a method includes doping a lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate material with at least one lanthanide series element, and processing the pmn-pt material to form tetragonal pmn-pt. a further method includes forming a low refractive index nanostructured grating over a carrier substrate, forming a high refractive index layer over the low refractive index grating to produce a nanostructured coupling element, forming an adhesive layer over the nanostructured coupling element, and affixing the nanostructured coupling element to a high index waveguide.
