    摘要: The present invention relates to bi-directional circulators based on interleaver technology, e.g. birefringent crystal interleaver technology, that enables signals containing even number ITU channels to travel in one direction through the device, while signals containing odd number ITU channels travel in the opposite direction. Open and closed three and four port devices are disclosed, as well as several useful implementations of the three port device in combination with other optical components, which result in hybrid uni-directional and bi-directional devices.

    摘要: A substantially thermally stable small optical package is disclosed which houses optically aligned elements forming an optical component. All of the elements are all directly soldered to a base member or directly soldered to a supporting member soldered to a common base member. The sealed container has a supporting base member made of stainless steel and a first optical fiber mount is directly soldered to the supporting base. A first optical fiber is directly soldered to the upper end of the first optical fiber mount. A similar arrangement is provided wherein a second optical fiber mount is directly soldered to the base and a second optical fiber is directly soldered to the upper end of the second optical fiber mount. A thin frequency doubling crystal is directly soldered to the stainless steel base member after being aligned with the two optical fibers. This design is extremely cost effective to manufacture and provides a component that is very thermally stable.

    摘要: Interleaver/deinterleaver apparatuses for combining/separating optical channels are described. An interleaver/deinterleaver apparatus is described as folded when an optical signal is directed through a single crystal multiple times. Single-pass refers to the optical signal following a (folded) path through the apparatus a single time. When operating as an deinterleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver separates an optical signal (e.g., WDM signal) into subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels). When operating as an interleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver mixes subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels) into a multiplexed (e.g., WDM) optical signal. The interleaver/deinterleaver apparatus can be used to increase the bandwidth of an optical network. For example, the interleaver/deinterleaver can be used to interface components designed for a first channel spacing (e.g., 100 GHz) to components designed for a second channel spacing (e.g., 200 GHz).

    摘要: Wavelength interleaving cross-connects pass a first optical signal including a first set of optical frequencies in a first direction and a second optical signal including a second set of optical frequencies in a second direction. In one embodiment, the first optical signal, when input to a first input/output (I/O) port, is routed from the first I/O port to a third I/O port. The first optical signal, when input to a fourth I/O port, is routed from the fourth port to a second I/O port. The second optical signal, when input to the second I/O port, is routed from the second I/O port to the third I/O port. The second optical signal, when input to the fourth I/O port, is routed from the fourth I/O port to the first I/O port. Thus, by coupling an optical device (e.g., amplifier, filter) between the third port and the fourth port, the optical device can be used for bidirectional communications thereby reducing the number of devices required for a bidirectional optical network architecture.
