    摘要: Optical couplers having attachment features are disclosed. A typical coupler according to the present invention couples an optical signal from an optical fiber to a channel waveguide by overlapping the cores of the optical fiber and channel waveguide along a portion of their waveguide lengths, with a spacing distance between the cores of not more than 20 microns for single-mode light coupling, and not more than 100 microns for multi-mode light coupling. This is in contrast to a prior art coupler, which seeks to position the ends of the two cores in a facing relationship. In embodiments according to the present invention, attachment films may be disposed in the overlapping regions to provide advantageous coupling arrangements and new types of opto-electric devices.

    摘要: An apparatus for attenuating a light signal is disclosed. The apparatus causes optical attenuation in a waveguide, where the waveguide has an input port for receiving a light signal and an output port for output of an attenuated light signal. First, an electric field is generated in at least a portion of the waveguide, such that a first refractive index in that portion of the waveguide is changed to a second refractive index. Next, the light signal in the waveguide is directed from the input port to the output port through the electric field. And lastly, the light signal is attenuated as a function of the electric field. The light signal may be attenuated, for example, by changing the deflection angle, changing the beam collimation width or from emitting part of the light signal from the waveguide before the light signal reaches the output port.

    摘要: The intensity of signals in optical networks can be controlled using a variable optical attenuator (VOA). The present invention is a VOA that is particularly well suited for optical networks, for example to provide channel-by-channel normalization of gain control of wavelength division multiplexed signals. The inventive VOA includes a waveguide having a cladding that includes an electro-optical material and electrodes that produce an electric field within the electro-optical material when a voltage difference is applied to the electrodes. The VOA also includes a layer that is parallel to the core of the waveguide and that optically couples to the core to receive light from the attenuated signal. A power meter receives light from the layer as an indication of the amount of light attenuated from the signal and for controlling the voltage to the electrodes.
