Abstract

The present invention provides a protein fusion construct comprising a far-red cyanobacteriochrome (CBCR) domain linked to a heterologous domain, wherein the far-red CBCR domain comprises a CBCR polypeptide and a tetrapyrrole chromophore. The invention also provides nucleic acids, expression cassettes, vectors, and host cells for expression of the far-red CBCR protein fusion constructs. Methods for detecting cellular components, methods for imaging biological structures, and method for modulating cellular processes using the protein fusion constructs are also provided.

Durable silver mirror with ultra-violet thru far infra-red reflection

Patent Wolfe, Jesse D [Discovery Bay, CA]

A durable highly reflective silver mirror characterized by high reflectance in a broad spectral range of about 300 nm in the UV to the far infrared (.about.10000 nm), as well as exceptional environmental durability. A high absorptivity metal underlayer is used which prevents the formation of a galvanic cell with a silver layer while increasing the reflectance of the silver layer. Environmentally durable overcoat layers are provided to enhance mechanical and chemical durability and protect the silver layer from corrosion and tarnishing, for use in a wide variety of surroundings or climates, including harsh or extreme environments.

Far-infrared detection using Weyl semimetals

Patent Chan, Ching-Kit; Lee, Patrick A.; Lindner, Netanel; ...

The generation of photocurrent in an ideal two-dimensional Dirac spectrum is symmetry forbidden. In sharp contrast, a three-dimensional Weyl semimetal can generically support significant photocurrent due to the combination of inversion symmetry breaking and finite tilts of the Weyl spectrum. To realize this photocurrent, a noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal is coupled to a pair of electrodes and illuminated with circularly polarized light without any voltage applied to the Weyl semimetal. The wavelength of the incident light can range over tens of microns and can be adjusted by doping the Weyl semimetal to change its chemical potential.

Multipass laser amplification with near-field far-field optical separation

Patent Hagen, Wilhelm F [Livermore, CA]

This invention discloses two classes of optical configurations for high power laser amplification, one allowing near-field and the other allowing far-field optical separation, for the multiple passage of laser pulses through one or more amplifiers over an open optical path. These configurations may reimage the amplifier or any other part of the cavity on itself so as to suppress laser beam intensity ripples that arise from diffraction and/or non-linear effects. The optical cavities combine the features of multiple passes, spatial filtering and optical reimaging and allow sufficient time for laser gain recovery.

Apparatus comprising a tunable nanomechanical near-field grating and method for controlling far-field emission

Patent Carr, Dustin Wade [Albuquerque, NM]; Bogart, Gregory Robert [Corrales, NM]

A tunable nanomechanical near-field grating is disclosed which is capable of varying the intensity of a diffraction mode of an optical output signal. The tunable nanomechanical near-field grating includes two sub-gratings each having line-elements with width and thickness less than the operating wavelength of light with which the grating interacts. Lateral apertures in the two sub-gratings are formed from the space between one line-element of the first sub-grating and at least one line-element of the second sub-grating. One of the sub-gratings is capable of motion such that at least one of aperture width and aperture depth changes, causing a perturbationmore » « less
