Microsoft Technology Licensing Assigned Patent

Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC, Redmond, WA, has been assigned a patent (10,181,336) developed by Georgiou, Andreas, Cambridge, Great Britain, Kollin, Joel Steven, Seattle, WA, and Diaz, Ariel Gomez, Cambridge, Great Britain, for a “multi-beam optical system for fast writing of data on glass“.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”An optical data-recording system comprises a laser, a dynamic digital hologram, an electronic controller, and a scanning mechanism. The dynamic digital hologram includes a plurality of holographic zones, and is configured to direct the irradiance received thereon to an optical recording medium. The electronic controller is operatively coupled to the dynamic digital hologram and configured to control the irradiance directed from each of the holographic zones. The scanning mechanism is configured to change a relative positioning of the laser versus the dynamic digital hologram so that each of the holographic zones is irradiated in sequence by the laser”.

The patent application was filed on September 8, 2017 (15/699,597).
