    摘要: A linear N×N robotic fiber optic switch is described. Notably, fiber adapters for connecting the input and output fibers are arranged linearly. Moreover, each fiber adaptor is driven by a push-pull mechanism such that it can be positioned to a front, center, or back position, with which the private plane of a fiber port can be separated from the other fiber ports and fiber connection can be configured using a simple linear translation robotic pickup free of interference in a compact space. Furthermore, a large scale fabric switch comprises 3 stages of N linear N×N robotic switches connected using fiber shuffles. Each stage or all three stages can share one robot to reduce cost. Scalability to large port counts may be accomplished proportional to N, the number of ports, rather than N2.

    摘要: A phase modulation waveguide structure includes one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, a doped semiconductor layer formed over the one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, the doped semiconductor portion including a waveguide rib protruding from a surface thereof not in contact with the one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, and an electrical contact on top of the waveguide rib. The electrical contact is formed of a material with an optical refractive index close to that of a surrounding oxide layer that surrounds the waveguide rib and the electrical contact and lower than the optical refractive index of the doped semiconductor layer. During propagation of an optical mode within the waveguide structure, the electrical contact isolates the optical mode between the doped semiconductor layer and a metal electrode contact on top of the electrical contact.

    摘要: An all-optical switch includes an array of input optical fibers and an array of output optical fibers. A rhomboidal prism beam splitter is positioned in operative relationship with the array of input fibers such that when an array of optical beams is propagated from the array of input optical fibers, the beam splitter splits the array of optical beams into a signal path and a tap path. The rhomboidal prism beam splitter includes a partial internal reflection (PIR) surface and a total internal reflection (TIR) surface. The PIR surface and the TIR surface cooperate to split the array of optical beams into the signal path and the tap path such that the signal path is substantially parallel to the tap path upon exiting the beam splitter.
