    摘要: A method of making a low-loss electromagnetic wave resonator structure. The method includes providing a resonator structure, the resonator structure including a confining device and a surrounding medium. The resonator structure supporting at least one resonant mode, the resonant mode displaying a near-field pattern in the vicinity of said confining device and a far-field radiation pattern away from the confining device. The surrounding medium supports at least one radiation channel into which the resonant mode can couple. The resonator structure is specifically configured to reduce or eliminate radiation loss from said resonant mode into at least one of the radiation channels, while keeping the characteristics of the near-field pattern substantially unchanged.

    摘要: An optoelectronic device comprising an optically active layer that includes a plurality of domes is presented. The plurality of domes is arrayed in two dimensions having a periodicity in each dimension that is less than or comparable with the shortest wavelength in a spectral range of interest. By virtue of the plurality of domes, the optoelectronic device achieves high performance. A solar cell having high energy-conversion efficiency, improved absorption over the spectral range of interest, and an improved acceptance angle is presented as an exemplary device.

    摘要: An optical sensor, a method of configuring an optical sensor, and a method of using an optical sensor are provided. The optical sensor includes an optical waveguide having a length and a laser source optically coupled to the waveguide. The laser source has a coherence length. Light from the source is transmitted to the waveguide as a first signal propagating along the waveguide in a first direction and a second signal propagating along the waveguide in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The optical paths of the first signal and the second signal are substantially reciprocal with one another and the first signal and the second signal are combined together after propagating through the waveguide to generate a third signal. The coherence length is greater than 1 meter or is in a range between 200 microns and 10 centimeters.

    摘要: An optical sensor includes at least one optical coupler and an optical waveguide in optical communication with the at least one optical coupler. The optical waveguide is configured to receive a first optical signal from the at least one optical coupler. The first optical signal has a group velocity and a phase velocity while propagating through at least a portion of the optical waveguide, the group velocity less than the phase velocity. An interference between the first optical signal and a second optical signal is affected by relative movement between the optical waveguide and the at least one optical coupler.

    摘要: An optical fiber includes a cladding with a material having a first refractive index and a pattern of regions formed therein. Each of the regions has a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index. The optical fiber further includes a core region and a core ring having an inner perimeter, an outer perimeter, and a thickness between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter. The thickness is sized to reduce the number of ring surface modes supported by the core ring.

    摘要: Optical signals are passed in an optical medium using an approach that facilitates the mitigation of interference. According to an example embodiment, a filtering-type approach is used with an optical signal conveyed in an optical fiber, such as a multimode fiber (MMF) or a multimode waveguide. Adaptive spatial domain signal processing, responsive to a feedback signal indicative of data conveyed in the multimode waveguide, is used to mitigate interference in optical signals conveyed in the multimode waveguide.
