Abstract:
An integrated optical filter apparatus, which can be used for a miniaturized waveguide and can reduce crosstalk between adjacent signals. The integrated optical filter apparatus includes a first optical filter reflecting a light beam of a first wavelength and transmitting a light beam of a second wavelength from an externally incident light beam, and a second optical filter facing the first optical filter and reflecting the light beam of the first wavelength reflected by the first optical filter to the first optical filter. The light beam of the first wavelength is reflected by the first optical filter at least twice to remove noise within the light beam of the first wavelength.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a dielectric filter comprises the steps of: forming a dielectric block; depositing a conductor on the side surfaces and the second surface of the dielectric block, and forming a plurality of resonators, forming input and output terminals on the side surface of the dielectric block, and forming conductive patterns on at least a part of the area of the first surface; and depositing a thermosetting resin on the first surface provided with the conductive patterns, and curing the thermosetting resin. The dielectric filter comprising the protection layer on an open surface prevents defects such as a short circuit generated in a trimming step. The interval between the patterns is reduced to less than 0.04 mm, advantageously facilitating miniaturization of the dielectric filter.
Abstract:
Provided is a mode converter for use in optical communication. The mode converter includes a first waveguide, a second waveguide optically coupled into the first waveguide, and omnidirectional reflectors that are disposed on either side of the first waveguide and have forward reflectivity with respect to a mode propagating in the first waveguide. The mode converter provides minimum loss coupling between either optical fiber or low index difference waveguide and a high index contrast waveguide. Furthermore, the mode converter achieves high, bi-directional optical coupling over a wide wavelength range with a simple manufacturing process.
