    Abstract: A fiber optic link for platforms with data sources including, e.g., sensors, cameras, radars and antennas. An array of optical transmitter/receiver pairs is coupled to an integrating network of the platform. Data modules are each coupled to certain ones of the data sources and include a receiver for detecting control data, and a modulator for modulating a light signal according to signals from the module's data sources. At least one optical fiber is coupled between a given transmitter/receiver pair of the array, and a corresponding data module. A laser source associated with each transmitter supplies a light signal with the control data to a corresponding data module downstream over an optical fiber. The light signal is modulated by the signals from the module's data sources, and the modulated light signal is returned to an array receiver upstream over an optical fiber.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a time slot switch which performs switching in the optical domain without the need for O-E-O conversion is described. The time slot switching device of the present invention may be part of a large switching device capable of performing switching and other function on WDM, TDM and WDM signals which are time division multiplexed. An optical time slot switch implemented using a time slot demultiplexer, optical cross-connect, variable delay lines and time slot multiplexer are described. Frequency conversion may be performed on a per time slot basis in cases where time slot signals are switched between lines using different wavelengths. Wave division demultiplexers and multiplexers can be added to the basic time slot switch to provide support for WDM switching and switching of TDM signals which are transmitted using wave division multiplexing.

    Abstract: The presence of oval defects on MBE-grown compound semiconductor (e.g., GaAs, InP, or InGaAs) epitaxial layers has proven to be a serious obstacle to the use of such material for the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs), even though the use of such material potentially could result in ICs having superior performance. One particularly prevalent type of oval defect is generally referred to as .alpha.-type. It has now been discovered that compound semiconductor epitaxial layers that are essentially free of .alpha.-type oval defects can be grown by MBE if first at least a portion of the Ga and/or In metal crucible is coated with an appropriate second metal. The second metal is chosen from the group of metals that are wetted by the first metal and that are less electronegative than the first metal. Aluminum is a currently preferred second metal. Advantageously the interior of the (typically pBN) crucible is Al-coated at least at and near the orifice of the crucible, whereby formation of drops of first metal is prevented.
