    Abstract: A polarization-diverse optical amplifier includes a polarization-sensitive optically active medium and a polarization splitter. The polarization splitter is configured to receive input light, to direct a first polarization component of the received input light to a first optical path segment, and to direct a second polarization component of the received input light to a separate second optical path segment. The active medium has first and second optical ports. The first optical port is at an end of the first optical path segment. The second port is at an end of the second optical path segment. The active medium outputs amplified light from one of the ports in response to receiving the input light at the other of the ports. In a preferred embodiment, the active medium has an internal optical axis, and the polarizations of the first and second components are oriented relative to that axis so that amplification is enhanced. The two optical path segments may include polarization-maintaining optical waveguides.

    Abstract: A mode-locked laser that has an optical cavity containing multiple optical amplifiers, each dedicated to a respective spectral portion of an optical signal generated by the laser, wherein the dispersion effects are managed by utilizing a separate intra-cavity phase tuner for each such spectral portion and/or by having appropriately configured waveguides corresponding to different spectral portions. Advantageously, a relatively wide combined gain spectrum provided by the optical amplifiers and the intra-cavity dispersion compensation provided by the phase tuners and/or waveguides enable this laser to realize a mode-locking regime that results in the emission of an optical pulse train having a relatively wide frequency spectrum. In one embodiment, the optical cavity of the mode-locked laser has a perfectly spectrally sampled arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) that is configured to divide the optical signal into the spectral portions and apply these portions to the respective waveguides, optical amplifiers, and phase tuners.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for manipulating light beams propagated through PLCs in free space. Light beams propagated in through an input/output waveguide of a PLC are propagated through a waveguide array to generate a phased array output at an edge facet of the PLC. The phased array output at the edge facet is spatially Fourier transformed by a lens in free space, generating a spectrally resolved image at the back focal plane of the lens. The spectrally resolved image is reflected, at least in part, by a reflector device and coupled into a desired waveguide array of a PLC to produce a desired output.
