    摘要: A pump source for a fiber Raman amplifier uses multiple lasers to generate high pump power or to generate a pump beam having a tailored spectrum for producing a desired Raman gain spectral profile. Light from two lasers, in mutually orthogonal polarization states directed to a polarization combiner that produces an output having light mixed at the two orthogonal polarization states. A depolarizer depolarizes the output. The depolarizer defines first and second orthogonal polarization modes oriented so that the light output from the polarization combiner in one polarization state excites the first and second polarization modes of the depolarizer equally and the light output from the polarization combiner in the other polarization state also excites the first and second polarization modes of the depolarizer equally.

    摘要: A buried heterostructure (BH) laser source with a narrow active region is disclosed for use in close proximity with optically-addressed data storage media for read/write functionality in a relatively high data density format. The BH laser source is formed on a pregrooved or prepatterned substrate to form mesas upon which epitaxial layers are formed to form laser source active regions that have small emission apertures at the laser source facet output. Selective removal of semiconductor cladding material and replacement of this material with lower refractive index materials provides a way of obtaining further mode size-reduction at the output facet of the laser source. Each mesa has a top surface and adjacent sidewalls such that in the growth of the epitaxial layers above the active region doped with a first conductivity type, the above active region epitaxial layers depositing on the top surface deposit as a first conductivity type and depositing on said sidewalls deposit as a second conductivity type. This growth construction provides for a naturally formed p-n junction at the laser source active region and eliminates the need to perform a subsequent diffusion process to form such a junction. The optical cavities of the laser sources may be tapered so that die cleaving a predetermined point along the length of the optical cavity will provide the desired emission aperture size at the laser source output facet.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, MZ drive signal electrodes may be provided relatively close to and parallel to one another, such that the underlying waveguide arms may also be provided close to and parallel to one another. As a result, common mode performance of an MZ modulator may be obtained. In one example, an electrode wiring configuration consistent with the present disclosure may permit a waveguide arm separation of 40 microns or less.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method to control an optical polarization beam splitter. A portion of an optical output of the polarization beam splitter is converted into a corresponding electrical signal. The electrical signal is then provided to the polarization beam splitter as a control signal via a feedback loop. The polarization beam splitter controls a characteristic of the optical output of the polarization beam splitter in response to the received control signal. The characteristic, for example, may be controlled through thermo-optically or electro-optically. The control system may be used over a period of time to maintain the characteristic at a desired value, for example as the components of the polarization beam splitter, or other elements used in the control of the polarization beam splitter, age.
