Abstract: A tunable permanently fixed diffraction grating is interposed in the path of an optical beam propagated in an integrated-optics device. Tuning is accomplished, for example, by establishing a variable electric field in the propagating medium to control its refractive index. In that way the effective grating spacing is changed. As a result tunable optical filters and intensity modulators are thereby realized.

Abstract: Thin-film optical waveguides are disclosed comprising singlecrystal rare-earth garnet films deposited on garnet substrates. Epitaxial film growth techniques, developed largely for magnetic bubble domain devices, provide films with superior optical properties either at visible or near-visible wavelengths. The thin-film optical waveguides are comprised of transparent garnet films of the general formula R3B5O12; where R can be yttrium, lanthanum, bismuth, or a rare-earth ion with an atomic number of 60 to 71 inclusive, and B an be either magnetic, i.e., iron, or nommagnetic, i.e., gallium or aluminum. The use of the former types of films can give rise to various thin-film magnetic devices suitable for integrated optical circuit arrangements. One such device which is disclosed, a thin-film magneto-optical switch and modulator, includes a light-guiding film of an iron garnet composition and a serpentine micro-circuit which is deposited on the film to carry a switching current. The device provides a continuous switching of the polarization modes of the light waves guided in the film. Similarly, by applying a microwave current to the same circuit, the guided light can be modulated.

Abstract: A novel Faraday-effect element having a refractive index highest along the axis and decreasing toward the surface is produced by immersing a thin elongated glass body containing an oxide selected from the group consisting of paramagnetic- and diamagnetic-type oxides composed of at least first cations, in a bath of salt including second cations having a smaller ration of the electronic polarizability to the third power of the ion radius than said first cations. The bath is maintained at a temperature to permit said second cations to diffuse into said glass body so that said first cations may be substituted by said second cations.

Abstract: A coordinate measuring device is provided having a light source that emits a beam of light. A distance meter measures a distance to a target. A first locator camera assembly includes a first camera and first lights. A second locator camera assembly includes a second camera and second lights. The processor matches retroreflectors in a first image of the first camera and a second image of the second camera based on a shape-and-context matching of retroreflector spots in the first and second image and on an area-context-matching of background objects in the first and second image. The retroreflector spots in the first image produced by illumination of the retroreflectors by the first lights, the retroreflector spots in the second image produced by illumination of the retroreflectors by the second lights. The processor provides a third image that includes both the background objects and markers indicating the matched retroreflectors.
