Abstract: Optical switches can include collimator elements that accommodate two or more optical ports. This increases the number of ports the switch can accommodate without having to increase the size of other optical components within the switch. Separate deflectors can be used to accommodate optical signals from two different groups of ports. In some embodiments cross-coupling of signals between the two groups can be accomplished through use of re-direction optics.

Abstract: Optical performance monitoring device for monitoring and analyzing an optical signal has a periodically movable reflective mirror to receive an input optical beam and to cyclically “scan” (deflect) the beam in a one-dimensional direction. The deflected beam at a varying deflection angle is directed to a linear variable filter (LVF) that passes a selected wavelength channel of the deflected beam in dependence upon the deflection angle. The selected channel is then passed to a photodetector via a focusing lens, typically a cylindrical lens. The device is durable, tunable, offers low loss, good wavelength registrability and spectral resolution.

Abstract: A surface-emitting laser with an integral nonlinear crystal. The laser generates light at a fundamental frequency. The nonlinear crystal converts the light into light at twice the fundamental frequency. The laser is configured in a vertical-cavity, surface-emitting structure. An adhesive layer containing indium such as indium gallium phosphide is disposed between a phosphide nonlinear crystal and an arsenide optical amplifier. The optical amplifier and the nonlinear crystal are fused together. The optical amplifier and the nonlinear crystal are located inside a laser cavity that is defined between a pair of reflectors. One of the reflectors is located adjacent the nonlinear crystal and is highly reflective of light at the fundamental frequency but transmissive of light at twice the fundamental frequency. Light is generated at the fundamental frequency, doubled in frequency as it passes back and forth through the nonlinear crystal, and emitted through the reflector adjacent the nonlinear crystal. An intracavity reflector may be included between the optical amplifier and the nonlinear crystal to prevent light at twice the fundamental frequency from propagating from the nonlinear crystal into the optical amplifier.

Abstract: Enlightening device and method for making the same are disclosed. Individual light emitting devices such as LEDs are separated to form individual dies by process in which a first narrow trench cuts the light emitting portion of the device and a second trench cuts the substrate to which the light emitting portion is attached. The first trench can be less than 10 μm. Hence, a semiconductor area that would normally be devoted to dicing streets on the wafer is substantially reduced thereby increasing the yield of devices. The devices generated by this method can also include base members that are electrically conducting as well as heat conducting in which the base member is directly bonded to the light emitting layers thereby providing improved heat conduction.
