MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517055565 A) filed by Inphocal B. V., Eindhoven, Netherlands, on June 9, for 'optical system for controlling a light beam.'

Inventor(s) include Boerkamp, Martijn Joseph; Van Den Boom, Floor Anna; and Rodriguez Garcia, Julio.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An optical system (100) comprises focusing optics (10) configured to produce a focusing beam (B) at a focal region (Fr). The focusing optics (10) 5 comprise a set of spherical surfaces (11s,12s) configured to introduce a respective spherical aberrations into the focusing beam (B). The spherical aberrations are tuned to maximize a length (Lr) of the focal region (Fr). The system comprises at least one rotatable element (22) configured to redirect the focusing beam (B) along a variable beam direction. A gradient index 10 plate (31) is configured to receive the beam from the rotatable element (22) and linearize a dependence of a radial coordinate (R) of the focused beam in a target plane (P) as function of an angle of rotation (d) of the rotatable element (22). Advantageously, the gradient index plate is flat and so does not introduce further aberrations which may interfere with the focusing function."

The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 15, 2023, under International application No.PCT/NL2023/050602.
