摘要： An optical microresonator is configured as an optical microbubble formed along a section of an optical microcapillary. The curvature of the outer surface of the microbubble creates an optical resonator with a geometry that encourages the circulating WGMs to remain confined in the central region of the bubble, creating a high Q optical resonator. The resonator may be tuned by modifying the physical properties of the microbubble, allowing the resonator to be used as an optical filter. The resonator may also be used as a sensor or laser by introducing the material to be sensed (or the active laser material) into the microcapillary along which the microbubble is formed.

摘要： An optical fiber cable connector includes a ferrule subassembly, in which a ferrule is mounted into a receptacle including a barrel section having a flange at its base. The ferrule subassembly is loaded into an enclosure having a plug housing at its lead end. The plug housing is configured to provide a connection between an endface of a multicore fiber mounted into the ferrule and a corresponding surface in a mating socket. A collar is rotatably mounted onto the barrel section of the ferrule subassembly such that it butts up against the flange. The collar has an opening that fits around the barrel section, and an outer perimeter that fits into a receiving cavity with the plug housing. The ferrule, receptacle, receptacle barrel section, mounted multicore fiber, enclosure, and plug housing have a common longitudinal axis. As a result, the ferrule, receptacle, receptacle barrel section, and mounted multicore fiber are continuously rotatable with respect to the enclosure and plug housing, thereby enabling a precise rotational alignment of the multicore fiber within the enclosure.

摘要： The specification describes an optical fiber color coding scheme that uses two colors, where each of the two colors constitutes one half of the surface of the optical fiber coating. If a longitudinal portion of the coating is considered a hollow cylinder, then each of the two colors is a hollow hemi-cylinder. To ensure that each of the two colors is always plainly visible to an installer, the two colors are formed with a twist. Using two colors for coding substantially increases the number of available unique color codes. Coloring the entire coating reduces the chances of error in identifying the optical fibers.

摘要翻译： 本说明书描述了使用两种颜色的光纤颜色编码方案，其中两种颜色中的每一种构成光纤涂层表面的一半。 如果涂层的纵向部分被认为是中空圆柱体，则两种颜色中的每一种都是中空半圆柱体。 为了确保两种颜色中的每种颜色总是对于安装者来说是清晰可见的，这两种颜色形成一个扭曲。 使用两种颜色进行编码大大增加了可用唯一颜色代码的数量。 着色整个涂层会降低识别光纤的错误机会。

摘要： Optical fiber refractive index profile designs having an alpha core profile and a negative index trench to control bend loss, are modified by truncating the edge of the alpha core profile and adding a ledge to the truncated core. The result is low bend loss and preservation of low differential mode delay and high bandwidth.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention include a fiber laser cavity package having improved fiber management and thermal management capability and methods of making such fiber laser cavity package. Each element of the fiber laser cavity is grouped into plurality of sections and each section is placed onto a heat conducting surface within the fiber laser cavity package to dissipate unwanted heat from the elements.

摘要： A method and system for measuring chromatic dispersion, experienced by ASK/PSK modulated optical signals, are provided. Dispersion measurement is enabled either by encoding an additional overhead at lower baud rate or by monitoring signal SOP or RF spectrum of signal SOP. The bulk chromatic dispersion of the link is measured by analyzing the dispersion broadening of the overhead constellation or signal temporal diagram, or time-overlapped signal diagram, or overhead spectrum. This information is used to reduce the computation time required for electronic recovery of a highly dispersed signal.

摘要： Apparatus and method of simultaneously measuring a parameter of a plurality of cores in at least one optical fiber. An input tester at a first end of the test fiber has a plurality of tester signal inputs with a geometry substantially matching at least a portion of the core geometry of the fiber. At least one test input signal source coupled to the plurality of tester signal inputs. A signal measuring device is alignable at a second end of the fiber to measure the output of the test input signal. The input tester may include a tapered multicore coupler or a laser having a shield with apertures disposable between the laser and the fiber. In the latter case, a lens may be disposed between the shield and the fiber to project light from the laser that passes through the apertures onto the end of the fiber.

摘要： Described are new cable designs for indoor installations wherein the cable comprises a dual-layer optical fiber buffer encasement of acrylate resin. The buffer encasement has an acrylate compliant inner layer that protects the fiber and minimizes stress transfer to the fiber; and a hard, tough acrylate outer layer that provides crush resistance. The dual-layer optical fiber buffer encasement is wrapped with reinforcing yarn and encased in an outer protective jacket. A dual jacket embodiment adapted for indoor/outdoor installations is also described.
