ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,665,371, issued on June 23, was assigned to Raytheon Co. (Arlington, Va.).

"Architecture for high-extinction electro-optic modulation in pulsed fiber lasers" was invented by Fabio Di Teodoro (Hacienda Heights, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A spectral combiner is configured to spectrally combine a pulsed signal at a first wavelength and a continuous wave (CW) signal at a second wavelength. A time gate has a signal input configured to receive a first multiplexed input signal from the first WDM, a radio frequency (RF) input configured to receive a RF control signal, a bias input configured to receive a direct current (DC) bias signa...
