摘要: Optical systems are disclosed which include one or more components such as an optical multiplexer, an optical demultiplexer, and, an optical amplifier. An optical device is included in the optical system and is configured to communicate with the optical component(s). The optical device includes a substrate proximate to which is disposed a first waveguide array. A second waveguide array is also provided that is disposed proximate the substrate so that a portion of the second waveguide array intersects a portion of the first waveguide array at a predetermined angle, so that a junction is formed. An index of refraction associated with the junction can be varied so that desirable effects can be implemented concerning optical signals transmitted through the waveguides.

摘要: An optical device with at least one junction formed by an intersection of at least two waveguides may be used to tap, and/or attenuate an optical signal. The waveguides may be formed from various materials such as polymers and other combinations of monomers. Internal reflection produced at each junction between the waveguides in response to heating from a thin film electrode will direct a portion of an optical signal from one of the waveguides to another waveguide. Internal reflection at each junction may be used to selectively tap and/or attenuate power level of an optical signal.

摘要: An optical switch which uses internal reflection at a junction formed by two waveguides is discussed. The waveguides may be formed from various materials such as polymers and other combinations of monomers. Substantially total internal reflection may be produced at the junction between the two waveguides in response to heating from a thin film electrode.

摘要: Methods and systems for adapting an automobile suspension in real-time may include a radar module reading a surface topology ahead of a vehicle. A processor may convert an output signal of the radar module into a suspension input signal that corresponds to an amount by which a wheel suspension device of the vehicle should be adjusted to counteract the surface topology. The processor may adjust a mechanical attribute of the wheel suspension device in real-time based on the suspension input signal. In an embodiment, the processor may be configured to calculate the amount by which the wheel suspension device should be adjusted based on a speed of the vehicle and a size of the surface topology. In one embodiment, the radar module may include a gimbal mount configured to provide vertical and horizontal visibility to the radar module.
