    摘要: An oblique angle deposition is used to provide an A-plate optical retarder having at least one dense, form-birefringent layer. According to one embodiment, the dense, form-birefringent layer(s) are deposited as part of an FBAR stack to provide an all-dielectric full-function A/−C-plate trim retarder for LCD birefringence compensation. Advantageously, the dense structure of the full-function A/−C-plate trim retarder offers high durability and/or stability, thus making it well suited for providing polarization compensation in high light flux polarization-based projection systems.

    摘要: The invention provides a substantially athermal etalon. In one embodiment, the multi-cavity etalon includes at least one free-standing multi-layer thin film and is rendered thermally stable through the use of the free-standing multi-layer film and spacers having predetermined thermal expansion coefficients. In another embodiment, the multi-cavity etalon is rendered thermally stable through the use of mixed spacers.

    摘要: An optical coupler device is provided with gradient index first and second lenses, with each lens having an outer endface with one or more ports at a predetermined location defined by a waveguide such as an optical fiber. A narrow bandpass optical filter is disposed between inner endfaces of the first and second lenses. In one embodiment, the second lens is in coaxial mechanical alignment with the first lens so as to have a common optical axis. An input waveguide and an optional reflection waveguide are disposed on the outer endface of the first lens on opposite sides of the optical axis. A transmission waveguide is disposed on one side of the outer endface of the second lens and is positioned at a non-zero angle with respect to the optical axis in order to compensate for a previously unrecognized lateral beam displacement caused by the optical filter. In other embodiments, the input waveguide and optional reflection waveguide are angled, or the optical axis of the second lens is laterally offset from the optical axis of the first lens, to compensate for the lateral beam displacement and thereby improve coupling efficiency.
