ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,345,949, issued on July 1, was assigned to Captain JRT LLC (Loxahatchee, Fla.).
"Spectrometers having a fringe tilted grating" was invented by Eric Todd Marple (Loxahatchee, Fla.) and Kirk David Urmey (West Milton, Ohio).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The technology provides a spectroscopy system having a fringe tilted grating that varies a refractive index to diffract light. The diffracting mechanism may be formed by modulating a refractive index to produce fringe planes that are oriented relative to each other through a depth of the grating material The spectroscopy system includes a detector that converts optical signals into electrical...
