Applied Energetics announces issuance of two new patents by USPTO

Applied Energetics (AERG) announced the issuance of two new patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. U.S. Patent No. 12,171,055, titled “Pulsed Laser Thermal Excitation,” covers novel techniques for generating range-specific thermal plasma using an ultrashort pulse laser with sufficient peak power to induce self-focusing and whole beam collapse at a designated distance, enabling the disruption or interdiction of high-speed objects such as hypersonic vehicles. The second patent, Patent No. 12,320,702, titled “Pathogen Detection and Neutralization Using Deep UV-C Generation Via Seeded Raman Amplification and Second Harmonic Generation,” describes a tunable, high-brightness deep ultraviolet C pulsed light system that uses Raman amplification and wavelength conversion to detect, neutralize, and confirm the absence of specific pathogens through fluorescence and Stokes Raman scattering.
