摘要： A resonator sensing device having an optics coupler device for communicating light between light source(s) and sensor(s) and a hollow core fiber resonator. Light from one resonator fiber tip is coupled to a second resonator fiber tip via a graded index (GRIN) lens having the appropriate pitch such that the maximum coupling efficiency is achieved and having two angled surfaces. The angled surfaces are coated with an appropriate coating having a reflectance R in order to achieve the desired degree of coupling. Light reflected by the second angled surface is captured with another lens (such as a microlens) and coupled to a third fiber segment (coupled port). The optical parameters for the GRIN lens and the microlens are tailored to have the least loss.

摘要： A fiber-ring optical resonator comprises a transverse segment of an optical fiber differing from adjacent segments in at least one physical property (e.g., diameter, density, refractive index, chemical composition, etc) so that it may support a resonant circumferential optical mode and enable evanescent optical coupling between the circumferential mode and an optical mode of a second optical element. The resonator may be fabricated with alignment structure(s) for enabling passive alignment of the second optical element for evanescent coupling, and/or with structure for suppressing undesired modes and/or resonances. A fiber-ring resonator may form a portion of a resonant optical filter or modulator. A plurality of optically-coupled fiber-ring resonators (formed on one or more fibers) may provide tailored spectral properties. Spatially-selective techniques for forming a fiber-ring resonator may include masking/etching, masking/deposition, laser machining, laser patterning, combinations thereof, and/or functional equivalents thereof.

摘要： An optical interleaver for receiving an incident beam carrying a wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) signal comprising a plurality of channels at center wavelengths null1, null2, null3, null4, null5, null6, . . . and generating therefrom at least one de-interleaved output signal comprising the odd channels null1, null3, null5, . . . or the even channels null2, null4, null6, . . . is described. The optical interleaver comprises a splitting element for splitting an incident beam into a first optical signal directed along a first path and a second optical signal directed along a second path, a first resonant element positioned along the first path, a second resonant element positioned along the second path, and a combining element positioned to receive and to interferometrically combine the outputs of the first and second resonant to produce the output signal. The optical interleaver may be implemented using a free-space configuration using a beamsplitter and a plurality of resonant cavities such as asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonators or Michelson-Gires-Tournois resonators. In an alternative preferred embodiment, the optical interleaver may be implemented in a Mach-Zender-style configuration using couplers and fiber ring resonators. According to a preferred embodiment in which the optical interleaver is in a free-space configuration, the splitting element that receives the incident beam comprises a partially reflective surface positioned such that a normal to the reflective surface is at a less-than-30 degree angle with respect to the incoming beam for increased stability against polarizations in the incoming beam. According to another preferred embodiment, thermal stability of the optical interleaver is enhanced by configuring and dimensioning the optical interleaver such that the amount of glass or other optical material in the first and second split-beam paths is equalized. In accordance with reciprocity principles, the optical interleaver is readily adapted to operate as an interleaver, de-interleaver, or add/drop multiplexer.

摘要： A method for fabricating an optical resonator on an optical fiber including the steps of generating a differential of a physical property (e.g., diameter, density, refractive index, chemical composition, and so forth) of a transverse segment of the resonator fiber. The resonator fiber segment may substantially confine a circumferential optical mode propagating around the resonator fiber segment circumference at least partially within the resonator fiber segment, thereby enabling substantial confinement of a substantially resonant circumferential optical mode near a surface of the fiber, and enabling evanescent optical coupling between circumferential optical mode and an optical mode supported by a second optical element. Specialized techniques for spatially selectively generating the differential may include masking/etching, masking/deposition, laser machining, laser patterning, combinations thereof, and/or functional equivalents thereof. The circumferential-mode optical resonator may be farther provided with one or more alignment structures including flanges and/or grooves for enabling passive positioning of the circumferential-mode optical resonator within an alignment groove of an alignment substrate, and/or for enabling positioning and/or supporting a second optical element. The alignment structures are fabricated at the correct dimensions to enable the optical coupling without extensive active alignment procedures. Structures may also be provided for suppressing undesired optical modes and/or resonances associated with optical resonators and/or alignment structures on the optical fiber. A plurality of resonators positioned on the same fiber sufficiently close together to enable optical coupling between them may be employed to provide a tailored frequency filter function for optically coupling multiple optical elements including optical fibers. A modulator may be provided as an integral component of the circumferential-mode optical resonator, provided directly on the circumferential-mode optical resonator, or provided as a separate assembly positioned on and secured with respect to the alignment substrate. The modulator enables control of the optical properties of the optical resonator, which in turn enables control of the optical power transmitted through the fiber taper segment of the transmission optical fiber.
