Abstract: A small infrared sensor has a wide infrared light-receiving area (viewing angle), high electromagnetic shielding characteristics, and excellent electromagnetic-wave resistance characteristics. In the infrared sensor, supporting portions are disposed at four corners of a substantially rectangular opening in a package. The supporting portions support an optical filter, disposed so as to cover the opening, at positions that are lower than an upper end of an inner peripheral wall defining the opening. While the optical filter is supported by the supporting portions as a result of inserting a portion of a surface side of the optical filter facing the supporting portions into the opening, the optical filter is secured to the package. The optical filter and the package are joined and secured, and electrically connected to each other through a conductive adhesive.

Abstract: A light detection device for detecting an optical path position of invisible light. The detection device includes a main body and a light guide. The light guide includes a distal end functioning as a light incident portion through which the detected light enters and a light radiation portion from which visible light is emitted. A drive mechanism reciprocates the light guide in an X-direction while vibrating the light guide in a perpendicular Y-direction. The distal end of the light guide rod moves within a light detection area in an XY plane. A visible light-emitting unit radiates visible light from the distal end when the detected light enters the distal end. The visible light-emitting unit includes a photo-detector for detecting the detected light and a light-emitting element for generating the visible light when the photo-detector detects the detected light.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical waveguide device for monitoring a characteristics of light, e.g. a wavelength. The device incorporates a waveguide, such as an optical fiber, with an embedded tilted Bragg grating operating in a regime of wavelength detuning. The grating is designed to disperse light azimuthally in two or more different directions about the fiber axis, said directions changing with wavelength. A photodetector array is provided for detecting the azimuthal distribution of light. A processor coupled to the photodetector array determines wavelength information from the detected azimuthal distribution of the out-coupled light.

Abstract: A polarization separating element such as a beam splitter receives a first light of a first polarization plane. The polarization separating element derives out of the first light a second light of a second polarization plane set perpendicular to the first polarization plane. A photoelectric element converts the second light into an electric signal. The intensity of the second light is in this manner detected. Since the second light is derived out of the first light, the phase of the second light is allowed to synchronize with the phase of the first light. The extinction ratio of the second light accurately reflects the extinction ratio of the first light. The detection of the intensity of the second light at the photoelectric element enables an accurate detection of the intensity of the first light.

Abstract: An optical signal processor having a monolithic prism supporting one or more channels, and constructed from a first glass block joined to a second glass block at a beam splitter interface. The monolithic prism has thin film beam splitters and filters (such as I and Q filters) either deposited directly on the prism or attached to it. The beam splitter interface, and the thin film beam splitters and filters are arranged relative to each other so that a portion of the return-ranging collimated encoded beam from an external optical sensor is reflected to all the filters. And detectors are connected over the filters to detect particular components of the collimated encoded beam which are passed through the respective filters.

Abstract: A matched pair of tilted gratings may be formed in a section of optical fiber (or waveguide) and used as a “tap” to measure the power of an optical signal passing through the fiber. By using a pair of highly-tilted gratings (e.g., tilted at an angle of 45° with respect to the optical axis) and orienting the gratings to be orthogonal with respect to one another (i.e., azimuthal orthogonality around the fiber axis), a pair of orthogonally polarized beams will be out-coupled from the propagating signal. Since the pair of beams are orthogonal, their sum can be made insensitive to variations in polarization of the optical signal propagating along the fiber.
