US Patent Issued to Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften on Aug. 5 for "Methods and apparatus for sequentially transmitting signals of polarization states of light through an optical fiber" (German Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,381,629, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften e.V. (Munich).

"Methods and apparatus for sequentially transmitting signals of polarization states of light through an optical fiber" was invented by Gerd Leuchs (Wiesenthau, Germany).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method sequentially transmits signals of polarization states of light through an optical fiber. The optical fiber being a polarization preserving optical fiber. For each signal, a signal state is prepared as one out of a set of at least two non-orthogonal polarization states of light and sent through the optical fiber from a sen...
