摘要: A semiconductor diode laser system with microwave mode locking. The system includes a semiconductor laser diode and an external reflector positioned to receive radiation that emits from the diode and reflects the same back into the diode, the microwave mode locking serving to modulate the radiation and the external reflector being properly positioned to return the radiation to the diode at a return time equal to the period of the drive signal or a submultiple thereof.

摘要: A wavelength-selective optical switch having a first input port for accepting a plurality of copropagating optical channels, each of the channels having a distinct wavelength band. The optical switch includes first and second output ports. A wavelength-selective optical filter is connected to receive the copropagating optical channels from the first input port to extract a selected one of the channels while allowing the remaining channels to copropagate to the first output port. An interferometric switch is connected to receive the selected extracted channel; the interferometric switch includes a controller for controlling propagation of the selected extracted channel to either the second output port, the optical filter, or both. The optical filter is connected to receive from the interferometric switch an optical channel to be combined with the remaining copropagating channels and all directed to the first output port. In a first control state of the controller, the interferometric switch is adapted to direct the selected extracted channel to the optical filter, while in a second control state of the controller, the interferometric switch is adapted to direct the selected extracted channel to the second output port. A second input port can be provided for accepting an injected optical channel having a wavelength band corresponding to the wavelength band of the selected extracted channel. This second input port is connected to direct the injected optical channel to the interferometric switch. In this scenario, the interferometric switch is adapted, in the second control state of the controller, to direct the injected channel to the optical filter, and is adapted to direct the injected channel, in a first control state of the controller, to the second output port.

摘要: The invention comprises an interferometer for detecting rotation in which a single light beam is split by a first polarizing beam splitter into two linearly, orthogonally polarized beams and introduced to opposite ends of a linear polarization maintaining fiber optic loop formed of a Kerr medium optical fiber material having a 90.degree. twist therein. Upon exiting the opposite ends of the loop, the two beams are recombined by the first polarizing beam splitter into a single beam. The recombined light beam is seperated from the input light beam and is passed through a quarter-wave plate which converts the linear polarization to circular polarization. The circularly polarized beam is then passed through a second polarizing beam splitter to form two separate beams of distinct intensity dependent upon the two distinct circular polarizations contained in the incident beam. The two light beams are introduced to a balanced detector whereupon the difference in intensity of the two light beams is detected. This difference in intensity indicates the rotational direction and velocity of the fiber optic loop, thus allowing the device to be used to detect rotation.

摘要: A fiber laser for producing high energy ultrashort laser pulses, having a positive-dispersion fiber segment and a negative-dispersion fiber segment joined in series with the positive-dispersion fiber segment to form a laser cavity. With this configuration, soliton effects of laser pulse circulation in the cavity are suppressed and widths of laser pulses circulating in the cavity undergo large variations between a maximum laser pulse width and a minimum laser pulse width during one round trip through the cavity. The fiber laser also provides means for modelocking laser radiation in the laser cavity, means for providing laser radiation gain in the laser cavity, and means for extracting laser pulses from the laser cavity. Using selected positive- and negative-dispersion fiber segments, the laser cavity exhibits a net positive group velocity dispersion, and the ratio of the maximum laser pulse width to the minimum laser pulse width attained during one round trip through the cavity is greater than 5, and preferably greater than 10. The laser cavity may be configured as a linear cavity geometry, a ring cavity geometry, a figure eight geometry, or a Sagnac loop reflector geometry, among others. Preferably the ring cavity is configured to achieve unidirectional circulation of laser pulses in the ring cavity, and with this configuration, is shown to produce laser pulses having a pulse width of less than 100 fs and a pulse energy of at least 80 pJ.

摘要: Surface acoustic wave resonators are used to provide band pass filters. The length of each resonator is related to the lumped constant inductor and capacitor values of the components of the low pass filter equivalent. This invention allows high frequency s.a.w. type filters to be constructed by reference to already available inductor and capacitor values from tables of low pass filter designs.
