Abstract: An external optical resonator for a semiconductor laser is composed of an optical directional coupler which can be formed as an integrated optical coupler with a short structural length that enables a free spectral range in the order of 100 GHz and enables the resonator and the system fiber to be coupled to the same end face of the laser. The resonator structure includes two optical waveguides with feedback means applied on the end faces of one of the waveguides and the other waveguide having one end face coupled to receive the output of the laser and the other end face of the other waveguide being coupled to the system fiber. The arrangement is particularly useful for tunable semiconductor lasers, particularly for heterodyne reception.

Abstract: A method for generating an FSK-modulated optical signal with an optical two-filter FSK super-heterodyne receiver. The optical signal has two different polarization conditions that are orthogonal to one another. Due to orthogonal conditions, polarization-independent reception is possible. Synchronized polarization shifting occurs to generate a polarized modulated optical signal having alternating orthogonal polarization conditions. A delay stage for delaying the switching signal by one-half a clock period ensures accurate synchronization. The frequency shift of the FSK-modulated signal can be freely selected while maintaining excellent bandwidth characteristics and optimum sensitivity.

Abstract: An output/input coupler for multi-mode glass fibers characterized by a substrate, a main line having at least one flat surface, and at least one branch line having one flat surface. The main line and branch line are arranged on the substrate with the flat surfaces being in spaced parallel facing relationship. Preferably, the main line has the square cross section and the flat surface of each branch line extends at an angle to the axis of the branch line so that the branch line has a wedge-shaped configuration in the plan view. A transparent material may be imposed in the space between the spaced parallel facing surfaces of the main and branch lines. This transparent material may be a liquid crystal material whose optical properties are changed by the application of an electric field created by a pair of electrodes which overlie the space between the parallel facing surfaces. The coupler is preferably formed by using a photolithographic process to form the coupler from a layer of photosensitive material which is disposed on the substrate. The photolithographic process includes exposing the photosensitive material utilizing a mask conforming to the shape and disposition of the main and branch lines, and developing the exposed material to leave the main and branch lines on the substrate.
