摘要: The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method to control an optical polarization beam splitter. A portion of an optical output of the polarization beam splitter is converted into a corresponding electrical signal. The electrical signal is then provided to the polarization beam splitter as a control signal via a feedback loop. The polarization beam splitter controls a characteristic of the optical output of the polarization beam splitter in response to the received control signal. The characteristic, for example, may be controlled through thermo-optically or electro-optically. The control system may be used over a period of time to maintain the characteristic at a desired value, for example as the components of the polarization beam splitter, or other elements used in the control of the polarization beam splitter, age.

摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, an optical communication system, such as a passive optical network (PON), is provided that includes an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of optical network units (ONUs). The OLT includes a plurality of photonic integrated circuits that have both optical transmitters and receivers provided therein. Accordingly, the OLT may have fewer components and a simpler, more reliable and cost-effective design than a conventional OLT including discrete components. In addition, various ONU configurations are provided that also have a simple design and fewer components. Thus, ONUs consistent with the present disclosure may also have reduced costs.

摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a polarization multiplexed optical signal having optical signals with both TE and TM polarizations is supplied to an input of a polarization beam splitter (PBS). The PBS includes a first output that supplies TE polarized optical signals and a second output supplies TM polarized optical signals. A first polarizer is coupled to the second output of the PBS to pass the TM polarized optical signals, while rejecting light having other polarizations, such as the TE polarization. A rotator then rotates the light output from the first polarizer, so that such light has a TE polarization. A second polarizer is coupled to the rotator to filter light having a polarization other than the TE polarization. In addition, a third polarizer is coupled to the first output of the PBS in order to filter or block any TM light, for example, that may be output from the PBS with the TE polarized signal. Accordingly, the optical signals in the polarization multiplexed optical signal are effectively filtered, and some are rotated so that each has the same, e.g., TE polarization. Moreover, each optical signal is substantially free from light having extraneous polarizations and may be supplied to an optical hybrid circuit. Data carried by such optical signals may thus be reliably recovered.

摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a non-adiabatic polarization rotator is provided that can rotate the polarization of an incoming over a relatively short length. Light is supplied to the polarization rotator via a polarizer, which insures that the optical input to the polarization polarization rotator has a desired polarization. Preferably, the polarization rotator has a structure that is readily implemented with semiconductor materials and can be fabricated with known processing techniques. In addition, the polarization rotator and polarizer may include similar materials and/or layers, such that both may be readily integrated on a common substrate, such as an indium phosphide (InP) substrate.

摘要: An optical connection module attaches an active or passive optical component to a substrate and aligns the optical component with a first laser. The optical connection module includes a fiber submount that is attached to the substrate and that includes a thermally insulating material having a thickness greater than 20 micrometers. The optical component is soldered to the fiber submount using heat from a second laser. A laser submount is attached to the substrate. The first laser is attached to the laser submount. A fiber bonding pad is located between the thermally insulating material and the optical component. The thermally insulating material and the fiber bonding pad promote lateral heat transfer and limit vertical heat transfer to the substrate during soldering. The thermally insulating material can be integrally formed in the substrate by flame hydrolysis or by anodic bonding.

摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a current blocking layer is provided between output waveguides carrying light to be sensed by the photodiodes in a balanced photodetector, and the photodiodes themselves. Preferably, the photodiodes are provided above the waveguides and sense light through evanescently coupling with the waveguides. In addition, the current blocking layer may include alternating p and n-type conductivity layers, such that, between adjacent ones of such layers, a reverse biased pn-junction is formed. The pn-junctions, therefore, limit the amount of current flowing from one photodiode of the balanced detector to the other, thereby improving performance.
