    摘要: A wideband polarization splitter and combiner is fabricated using either fiber coupler technology or planar coupler technology. The device splits or combines wideband light signals without losing a substantial amount of spectral information. An antipodal phase generator is used to split a randomly polarized light signal into relatively wideband polarization components for use by polarization sensitive devices. The optical device is fabricated using polarization preserving fibers or waveguides, but it is intended for use in systems employing non-polarization-preserving fibers. The polarization splitter/combiner is also used as the basis for an isolator/circulator and a polarization controller. The polarization controller converts a randomly polarized light signal into a signal having a known and definite state of polarization.

    摘要: An optical fiber preform is made by supplying the base glass reactant and the dopant glass reactant to a burner that generates a flame in which a stream of glass particles is produced. The burner moves with respect to a rotating mandrel to deposit layers of glass particles on the mandrel. During the deposition of a portion of the preform, the flow rate of the dopant glass reactant is varied in accordance with a first recipe of dopant flow as a function of burner position as the burner moves longitudinally along the substrate to form one of the layers. The flow rate of the dopant glass reactant varies in accordance with a second recipe of dopant flow as a function of burner position as the burner moves longitudinally along the substrate to form a layer adjacent to the one layer. The second recipe is different from the first recipe, and the flow rate of the dopant glass reactant changes during the step of moving the reaction zone to form the one layer.

    摘要: An anti-abrasion and rockering system for an in-line skate. The skate includes a skate boot mounted on a chassis. The chassis includes two sidewalls which are parallel and opposite to each other. Each sidewall has a row of holes formed therein, such that the holes on the first sidewall align with and are opposite to the row of holes on the opposing sidewall. Two of the opposing sets of holes are oblong. A plurality of axles are disposed in the holes on the chassis so that the wheels are rotatably mounted on the axles and between the sidewalls of the chassis. The anti-abrasion and rockering system for the skate includes bushings disposed in the holes in the chassis. The bushings disposed in the oblong holes slide up and down in the holes. An anti-abrasion and rockering plate is disposed on the exterior of each sidewall. Each plate has a first and second row of holes for accommodating the axles. The first row of holes is misaligned so that some of the wheels on the skate are higher with respect to the skating surface than other wheel such that the front and rear wheels of the skate are rockered. The second row of holes is aligned so that all the wheels are at the same distance from the skating surface, so that the wheels are not rockered. To switch from the rockered to non-rockered state, the skater removes the plates from the chassis, turns the plates 180 degrees and reattaches each plate to the chassis.

    摘要: An M.times.O multiplex/demultiplex device is disclosed. An M.times.N coupler is connected to an N.times.O coupler by phase shifting means. The phase shifting means provide N paths between the couplers, each path having an optical path length different from every other optical path length. The coupling region of the M.times.N coupler must provide for substantially uniform division of light power among the coupler branches when M are the launch ports. Similarly, the coupling region of the N.times.O coupler must provide for substantially uniform division of light power among the coupler branches when O are the launch ports. A preferred embodiment includes two fused waveguide fiber couplers with dissimilar waveguide fibers used as the phase shifting means.

    摘要: An compound core optical waveguide fiber designed for high data rate or single channel or WDM systems which may include optical amplifiers. The waveguide is characterized by a core having two or three regions wherein the refractive index can be varied. The relative size of the regions may also be varied. By adjusting these variables, the desired mode field diameter, zero dispersion wavelength, dispersion slope and cut off wavelength were obtained. The optical properties are chosen to limit non-linear effects while maintaining low attenuation and acceptable bend performance. In addition, the residual stress within the waveguide is maintained at a low level to limit stress induced birefringence. The low residual stress in the uncoated waveguide, together with a dual coating system having selected moduli and glass transition temperatures results in low polarization mode dispersion.

    摘要: A low loss fiber optic coupler is fabricated by forming a coupler preform having a plurality of spaced glass cores extending longitudinally through a matrix of glass having a refractive index lower than that of the cores. The preform is heated and stretched to form a glass rod which is then severed into a plurality of units. Heat is applied to the central region of each unit while the ends of the unit are pulled apart to elongate and taper inwardly the heated central region, whereby the cores of the unit are more closely spaced and are of smaller diameter at the central region than they are at the ends of the unit. The unit is then provided with a plurality of optical fibers, one of which extends from each of the cores at the endfaces of the unit. A preferred method of providing the optical fibers involves forming the coupler preform of a matrix glass that is easily dissolved in a solvent. Each of the fiber cores within the matrix is surrounded by a layer of cladding glass that is relatively resistant to dissolving by the solvent. When an end of the unit is immersed in the solvent, the matrix glass dissolves, thereby leaving the unit cores and surrounding solvent-resistant cladding glass protruding from the newly formed endface of the unit.
