Abstract: An optical frequency modulated transmitter includes a plurality of separately phased-controlled slave lasers, the outputs of which are combined to form a single output beam of the transmitter. A master optical oscillator outputs an optical signal for injection locking the plurality of slave lasers, the optical signal being frequency modulated directly in the master optical oscillator or externally thereof. Additionally, a method of frequency modulating an optical beam is disclosed using a plurality of slave lasers. Each of the slave lasers has an output, the outputs of which are combined to form the optical beam. The plurality of slave lasers is injection locked to an optical output of a master oscillator. The optical output of the master oscillator is frequency modulated before the optical output is applied to the plurality of lasers. Each slave laser of the plurality is phased controlled relative to other slave lasers of the plurality.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for photonically sampling an analog signal and encoding the photonically sampled signal. The two interferometer arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer section are directly coupled to the dual input ports of a directional coupler switch section. Optical pulses transmitted through the interferometer arms are phase shifted in proportion to an analog signal applied at the electrical input port of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer section. The phase-shifted pulses in each interferometer arm are coupled in the directional coupler switch section and are directed to the dual output ports of the directional switch section based upon the binary code applied to the electrical input port of the directional coupler switch section. The directional switch section has an optical length designed to provide a net phase shift of 3&pgr;/4.

Abstract: An application-specific rf optoelectronic integrated circuit having a generic chip member and a defining substrate in communication with at least one generic chip member. The generic chip member contains passive building block components that are independent from each other and being connected by paths external to the generic chip member. The external connection paths are defined by a defining substrate member having passive components for providing optical and electrical interconnection between selected building block components on the generic chip member to define the specific function of the integrated circuit. It is possible to use the same design of the generic chip for several applications merely by altering the interconnect paths on a defining substrate.

Abstract: An intensity modulator having a Mach-Zehnder structure with first and second waveguide arms formed of an electro-optic polymer. The active molecules of the waveguide arms are poled in first and second different and substantially orthogonal directions. Electrodes are arranged to receive a modulating voltage and generate first and second electric fields which are respectively aligned with the first and second directions. As a consequence, the modulation depth of an optical signal which is transmitted through the modulator is substantially insensitive to the polarization of the signal. Other embodiments combine mode splitters and combiners with first and second Mach-Zehnder modulators which have electro-optic polymer waveguides. The active molecules of the arms of the two Mach-Zehnder modulators are poled in orthogonal directions.
