    摘要: An optically controlled integrated circuit device for microwave signalling/switching is configured of a microstrip structure formed on a thin layer of active semiconductor material, such as doped GaAs or silicon, that is disposed atop an insulator substrate. A gap is provided in the conductive strip and radiant energy is directed onto the exposed surface of the active layer therebeneath for the purpose of bridging the gap via a surface-generated charge carrier region.Electrical off-mode isolation in the gap is obtained by a narrow ribbon of conductive material disposed on the surface of the thin active layer at the gap between separated ends of the microstrip. This narrow ribbon is connected to a bias potential (e.g. ground), to create an isolation-enhancing depletion region in that portion of the active layer directly beneath the narrow ribbon. The thus generated depletion region provides input/output isolation in the gap between the separated ends of the microstrip.To turn the switch on, the gap is illuminated with a beam of light, in response to which electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor material of the active layer are generated. This generation of electron-hole pairs increases the carrier concentration, reduces the cross-sectional area of the depletion region and increases current flow in the gap, so that the separated ends of the microstrip are effectively electrically connected. To turn the device off, the beam of light is extinguished, cancelling the photo generated carrier and restoring the isolating depletion region.

    摘要: A microwave transistor circuit includes a pair of field effect transistors connected in cascade via a standard 50 ohm transmission line having a length equal to one-half the wavelength of the operating frequency range of the circuit. Although the field effect transistors are individually unstable at microwave frequencies, by cascading these transistors the reverse transmission coefficient is sufficiently reduced to render the overall circuit unconditionally stable. In addition, the transmission line is opened to provide physical isolation between the transistors for d.c. bias isolation and a capacitor is connected therein to provide for RF continuity.

    摘要: An oscillation control circuit in which the output of an unstabilized oscillator is controlled using a bulk acoustic wave resonator. The circuit includes a high and low frequency loop with the power output of the oscillator being divided and supplied along respective paths to the high and low frequency portions of the loop. The high frequency portion of the loop, which includes the BAW resonator, operates at the output frequency f.sub.0, which is equal to the sum of the oscillator frequency f.sub.1 and the frequency f.sub.2 of the low frequency portion of the loop. A first mixer receives the frequencies f.sub.0 and f.sub.1 and produces an output f.sub.2 in the low frequency portion of the loop, while a second mixer receives the frequencies f.sub.1 and f.sub.2 and produces an output f.sub.0 in the high frequency portion of the loop. In this way, as the oscillator output frequency f.sub.1 varies, the frequency f.sub.2 in the low portion of the frequency loop varies inversely, so that the up-down conversion performed by the system maintains f.sub.0 constant.

    摘要: An EDFA with integrated input and output modules is presented. The integrated input module has a packaged pump laser diode mounted to the metal EDFA package to provide a heat sink for the pump laser diode which sends the pump laser light over a optical fiber section connected to the amplifying erbium-doped optical fiber section. The fiber section is formed from an optical fiber which better matches the transmission modes in the erbium-doped optical fiber section and has an end subsection of the single mode fiber for a larger numerical aperture. Collimating lenses also increase the coupling efficiency of the laser diode to the erbium-doped fiber section. The integrated output module has a photodiode with a tap filter to monitor the output power of the EDFA, an optical isolator to prevent interference in the erbium-doped optical fiber section. With a twin optical isolator, the integrated input and output modules can be arranged in different ways and combinations with the erbium-doped optical fiber section. The resulting EDFAs can be manufactured relatively inexpensively into an very small packages compared to current EDFA packages.

    摘要: Cholesteric liquid crystal cell units are used for reflecting or transmitting incident light responsive to control signals. A cholesteric liquid crystal cell unit has a first cholesteric liquid crystal cell and a second cholesteric liquid crystal cell. The second cholesteric liquid crystal cell respectively reflects or transmit lights from the first cholesteric liquid crystal cell responsive to a control signal when the first cholesteric liquid crystal cell reflects circularly polarized light of one state or transmits the incident light. In one embodiment of the cell unit, a π-phase waveplate element is located between the first and second cholesteric liquid crystal cells. With the cholesteric liquid crystal cell units, devices such as optical switches, and WDM add/drop multiplexers, and optical switch systems with arrays of input and output optical fibers between a switching matrix formed by the cholesteric liquid crystal cell units, may be constructed.

    摘要: Improved optical devices, systems, and methods for selectively directing optical signals generally based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Through accurate control of the phase relationship, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer allows optical signals to either be cumulatively combined so as to enhance the transmitted signal strength, or destructively combined so as to effectively prevent transmission from an optical signal port. This phase relationship can be controlled using a nonreciprocal device having a pair of retarder plates disposed along one of the two legs of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer so as to provide an optical isolator or circulator.

    摘要: An optical isolator has a sleeve with a longitudinal channel, a pair of optical fibers in the longitudinal channel, a first, second and third birefringent crystals, a GRIN lens, a Faraday rotator and a mirror element. The first birefringent crystal covers the end facet of one of the pair of optical fibers, and the second and third birefringent crystals cover the end facet of the other of the pair of optical fibers. The GRIN lens has first and second end faces with the first end face proximate the first, second and third birefringent crystals. The Faraday rotator is located between the mirror element and the second end face of the GRIN lens. Light in one direction from a first optical fiber of the pair passes through, and back from, the first, second and third birefringent crystals, the GRIN lens, the Faraday rotator and the mirror element into a second optical fiber of the pair. On the other hand, light in a reverse direction from the second optical fiber passes through, and back from, the first, second and third birefringent crystals, the GRIN lens, the Faraday rotator and the mirror element, but not into the first optical fiber so that an optical isolation function is achieved. Multiple optical isolators may be obtained with multiple pairs of optical fibers fixed in the channel of the ferrule.
