ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,548,971, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Applied Energetics Inc. (Tucson, Ariz.).

"Selectable wavelength cascading coherent optical pump sources" was invented by Stephen William McCahon (Tucson, Ariz.) and Alan Kost (Tucson, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A low wavelength infrared Super Continuum (SC) signal from a master oscillator introduces two or more seeds into an amplifier that supports the Raman effect. A counter-propagating, high-power, continuous wave, or quasi-continuous wave quantum cascade lasers pump (amplifies) a first optical seed creating a cascading amplification of subsequent optical seeds forming two or more t...
