    Abstract: Optical fiber filters and uses thereof are presented. In typical implementations, there is provided a FBG taking deleterious light out of a fiber core without reflecting it into the fiber core. It also allows the unhindered transmission of useful light at a wavelength outside of the spectral band covered by the deleterious light. The filter couples the incoming deleterious light to cladding modes propagating in the opposite direction without coupling the incoming useful light to core or cladding modes propagating in the opposite direction. The filter may for example be useful as a Raman or ASE filter in a laser cavity of other optical devices.

    Abstract: A SOI optical structure is provided, including a succession of a substrate, insulator layer, patterned silicon layer and first and second cladding layer. In one embodiment the substrate is made of silicon, the insulator layer and first cladding are made of silicon oxide, and the second cladding layer is made of silicon nitride. The double cladding configuration provides both light confinement within the waveguides defined by the patterned silicon layer and optical isolation, for example from metal absorption when the optical structure is metallized. The double cladding configuration may also help reducing stresses within the optical structure.

    Abstract: A dispersion compensator for the compensation of chromatic dispersion in a multi-channel light signal is provided. The compensator includes a pair of optical structures each having a waveguide and a Bragg grating provided therein. The Bragg grating has a plurality of grating components, each associated with one or a few of the channels to be compensated. An optical assembly propagates the light signal sequentially through both optical structures. The periods of the grating components are selected to allow compensation of chromatic dispersion experienced by this particular channel or these particular channels, thereby taking into account the dispersion slope of the light signal. Tuning means are also provided in order to adjust the dispersion of the grating components of each optical structures, and proper selection of the tuning parameters allows tuning independently both the dispersion and dispersion slope.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser comprising a single mode laser cavity having a stack of semiconducting layers defining a transversal p-n junction is provided. A plurality of electrodes are coupled to corresponding sections of the laser cavity along the longitudinal light propagation direction, each corresponding section defining one of an amplification section or a modulation section. One or more DC sources are coupled to the electrodes associated with the amplification sections to forward-bias the p-n junction above transparency, so as to provide gain in the associated amplification sections. One or more modulation signal sources are coupled to the electrodes associated with the modulation sections, and apply a modulation signal across the p-n junction below transparency, the modulation signal providing a modulation of an output optical frequency of the semiconductor laser. Each modulation section is operated in photovoltaic mode.
