Abstract: For reducing power fluctuations of spectral lines of a comb generator having an annularly closed waveguide, a coupler for coupling light from a separate light source into the waveguide and out of the waveguide and also a sideband modulator, the light circulating in the waveguide can be either separately modulated or the sideband modulator can be operated to have only sidebands of the same operational sign of a frequency shift or with an amount being selected according to a particular arrangement, or can have both positive and negative frequency shifts with the amount being selected by a different formula or the length of the annularly closed waveguide can be dimensioned so that the size of the round-trip time of the light circulating in the waveguide is longer than the defined coherent time of the reference laser light. It is also possible to incorporate various combinations of these alternative ways of reducing the power fluctation.

Abstract: An arrangement for producing a broadband junction between a microstrip line and a coplanar transmission line in the following called "twin band line" provides that the microstrip line and the twin band line (ZL) extend at right angles relative to one another. The ground electrode of the microstrip line and the ground electrode of the twin band line lie immediately one on top of the other. The strip-shaped other electrodes of the microstrip line and the narrower strip-shaped electrode of the asymmetrical twin band line which extends at right angles thereto and coplanar to the wider ground electrode of the twin band line are connected to one another in a broadband manner by one or more ribbons or wires of metal. The arrangement is advantageously employable as a fast integrated optical modulator with cutoff frequencies in the GHz range, whereby the spacing between the coplanar electrodes expediently constricts conically in the longitudinal direction thereof. The arrangement is also advantageously employable for connecting a twin band line to the rigid inner conductor of a coaxial cable.

Abstract: An optical device, such as the switch, for controlling the passage of a light beam into and out of an end face of a waveguide such as a glass fiber includes utilizing either a layer or drop of liquid material to control the light passage. The liquid material can be a layer, which has changeable optical properties, which can occur by applying a magnetic field, heat or electrical field or the material can be a layer of electrolyte material which will precipitate a reflective layer or electrochromic layer in response to an application of an electrical field. In another embodiment, the liquid material may be moved into and out of engagement with the end face to change the reflective nature of the end face and to cause decoupling of light from the end face or block the transmission of light.

Abstract: A planar waveguide lens is characterized in that the same is a gradient lens, whereby the refractive index profile transversely to the lens axis extends approximately parabolically. The lens may be constructed to be multi-mode or may be constructed to be single-mode in the spatial direction perpendicular to the lens axis and perpendicular to the axis in which the indicated change of the refractive index profile extends. Grid structures are provided for dividing the light. The grid structures may be permanent, electro-optically produced or acousto-optically produced. For single mode fibers, the grid structures are produced by acoustic surface waves, while for multi-mode fibers, the grid structures are produced by way of acoustical volume waves.

Abstract: A device for coupling an incoming light conducting fiber cable to an outgoing light conducting fiber cable characterized by at least one housing and means secured in the housing for holding the end faces of the light conducting fibers of each cable in centered relationship to each other and for optically interconnecting the end faces of the light conducting fibers of the incoming cable to the end faces of the light conducting fibers of the outgoing cable. The means includes at least one holder having a guide body with guide channels for the light conducting fibers extending inward from one surface of the body and a cover member disposed on the guide body to close off the guide channels so that the light guiding fibers disposed in the channels are held therein. The guide body of each channel is preferably produced by a series of production steps while in a flat state either by mechanically forming the grooves, depositing material to form the grooves or developing a layer of material by a photolithographic process. Subsequent to forming the grooves, the guide body may be wound and secured on a cylindrical substrate so that the channels are disposed on a curved surface. The device may have a single holder to form a non-detachable connecting device, a pair of holders which are secured in an aligned position and form a detachable coupling device or a pair of holders mounted for relative rotation to form an optical switch.
