ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,470,295, issued on Nov. 11.

"Enhanced optical signal communication via hollow core fibers" was invented by Joseph Gerard LaChapelle (Austin, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed herein are methods, devices, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer readable media for signal communication via hollow fiber using stimulated Raman scattering (HC-SRS). Such use of HC-SRS can cause amplification of the signal as it is transmitted through the hollow fiber. Such use of HC-SRS may have (A) reduced signal loss during transmission, (B) reduced latency time as compared to optical signal propagating through a solid core optical fiber, (C) in...
