摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A prism coupler for coupling light into and out of an optical waveguide and characterized by the temperature dependency being eliminated. This is accomplished by a skillful selection of the prism angle and the prism material of a single prism or by combining two prisms of different materials whose indices of refraction and prism angles are selected to compensate for the effects of temperature on both the prism and the waveguide. Preferably, the waveguide is doped in a substrate of LiNbO.sub.3 and the prism utilizes a compound prism having a first prism consisting of LiNbO.sub.3 and a second prism of polystyrene.

摘要： The invention relates to a module for multiplexing and/or demultiplexing optical signals, having at least one wavelength-selective filter for multiplexing or demultiplexing into the module optical signals which have been coupled in or out, light beams of at least one optical channel respectively striking a wavelength-selective filter at a specific angle of incidence and, in the process, being separated from the light beams of other optical channels or being combined therewith. According to the invention, at least one wavelength-selective filter (Fi) can be set with reference to the angle of incidence of the light beams. The invention makes available a module in the case of which the center wavelength of a filter can be set precisely on the basis of the adjustability of the angle of incidence and, moreover, a specific filter (Fi) can also be used for several wavelengths.

摘要： Method and apparatus for acquiring information using a relative phase deviation between the phase of a receipt signal of an optical homodyne receiver and the phase of an optical signal of a local oscillator of the receiver. Previously information had to be taken from a control signal included in a larger DC signal. The compensation for the DC component is difficult. So as to make this unnecessary, the frequency F.sub.Lo of the local oscillator is shifted by the frequency f.sub.H of a defined auxiliary carrier and the frequency-shifted optical signal is then superimposed on the optical receive signal and is detected. The detected signal is band-pass-filtered and is shifted to the baseband frequency by mixing with the same auxiliary carrier and then is low-passed filtered. The DC voltage obtained indicates the relative phase relationship between the local oscillator and the receive signal based on the sign of the signal and indicates the absolute phase deviation by its amplitude. The DC voltage signal can then be supplied to a control loop so as to make this signal as small as possible.

摘要： A controllable directional coupler comprises two optical waveguides on the surface of a substrate of electrooptical material, the waveguides extending parallel for a predetermined distance. The coupler also comprises a control electrode structure including a pair of control electrodes formed on the surface of the substrate and covering the two parallel waveguides along their lengths. In order to achieve low control voltage and a low coupling loss, in the case of butt coupling to a monomode fiber, in the interstice between the two optical waveguides, the refractive index of the substrate is reduced to a specific depth of the substrate at which the coupling intensity becomes largely independent of the near-field expansion in the waveguides.
