    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to beamsplitters that include optical elements to correct for beam offset. In one embodiment, a beamsplitter includes a first plate having two approximately parallel and opposing planar surfaces and a partially reflective layer coating one of the planar surfaces, and a compensator plate having two approximately parallel and opposing planar surfaces. The compensator plate is positioned so that an incident beam of light passing through the compensator plate acquires a first beam offset. Subsequently, the incident beam of light with the first beam offset passing through the first plate is split into a reflected beam and a transmitted beam by the partially reflective layer where the transmitted beam has a second beam offset that substantially cancels the first beam offset such that the transmitted beam is approximately parallel to and aligned with the incident beam.

    摘要: An optical resonator, a photonic system and a method of optical resonance employ optical waveguide segments connected together with total internal reflection (TIR) mirrors to form a closed loop. The optical resonator includes the optical waveguide segments, an intracavity active element coupled to a designated one of the optical waveguide segments, the TIR mirrors and a photo-tunneling input/output (I/O) port. The photo-tunneling I/O port includes one of the TIR mirrors. The method includes propagating and reflecting the optical signal, or a portion thereof, in the optical resonator, transmitting a portion of the optical signal through the I/O port, and influencing the optical signal. The photonic system includes the optical resonator with optical gain and a source of an optical signal.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises a given multimode optical waveguide extending in a given direction. The apparatus also comprises another multimode optical waveguide extending in another direction and intersecting with the given multimode waveguide. The apparatus further comprises a bi-stable optical switch positioned at the intersection of the given multimode optical waveguide and the another multimode optical waveguide to redirect a multimode optical signal transmitted on the given multimode optical waveguide to the another optical waveguide in a redirection state and pass the multimode optical signal transmitted on the given multimode optical waveguide across the intersection of the given multimode optical waveguide and the another optical waveguide in a pass-through state. The bi-stable optical switch can comprise a gap extending diagonally from a given corner of the intersection of the given and the another optical multimode waveguides to an opposing corner of the intersection.
