US patent for Hyderabad scientists
HYDERABAD: A faculty from the University of Hyderabad and an IITian
from the city received United States patent for creating beams of light
which can control the movement and subsequent arrangement of matter.
Dr Nirmal Vishwanthan, teaching at the School of Physics at UoH along with Kavita Vemuri from IIT-Hyderabad, received the patent for their work on 'System and Method for generating an Optical Vector Vortex Beam having two Lobes', a media communique said.
"Currently, we are doing a detailed study on these beams which can control particulate movement. We are also trying to understand the fundamentals on how these beams of light operate, following which the applications of the beams will become clearer," Vishawanathan said.
"We believe that the use of such optical manipulators could be far reaching especially in chemistry and biology related fields of science," he added.
The two research scientists have been working on this project for the past five years.
Vishwanathan, a former student of UoH and now the head of the Beam Optics and Applications Lab, is the ninth person from the university to be awarded a patent from 20-odd patents filed till date from across all streams of UoH.
