    摘要: The invention relates to systems and methods for characterizing optical devices, and particularly to one that characterizes optical devices such as fiber Bragg gratings. In one embodiment, a system and method include the use of two light sources and four detectors to detect light transmitted through an optical device both before and after the light has been transmitted in each direction through the device.

    摘要: A method for intraoral image scanning using a powder with enhanced feature contrast. The method includes applying the powder to an intraoral structure and using an intraoral scanner in order to obtain electronic digital scan images of the intraoral structure. The powder includes a material providing enhanced feature contrast of the intraoral structure such as black particles combined with a white powder. The scan images can be used to create a 3D digital impression or model of the intraoral structure.

    摘要: A device and method for compensating for chromatic dispersion in an optical signal. The optical signal is coupled between an optical waveguide of a type having (i) a fundamental-mode waveguide and (ii) a higher-order mode waveguide surrounding the fundamental-mode waveguide, wherein different effective indexes of refraction are associated with the fundamental-mode and higher-order mode waveguides. The device comprises a transmissive, long-period optical grating disposed along a length of the optical waveguide and has a receiving end and a transmitting end. The grating is chirped between the ends along a light conducting axis of the optical waveguide such that different wavelengths of the optical signal are coupled to the fundamental-mode and higher order mode waveguides at different points along the length of the grating so that chromatic dispersion is corrected at the transmitting end.

    摘要: A system and method for fabricating structures in an optical substrate. An optical element produces first and second write beams that intersect at a first intersection location at the optical substrate. The first intersection location includes a fringe pattern produced by the first and second write beams. The optical element also produces first and second reference beams that intersect and are recombined at a second intersection location in substantially the same plane as the first intersection location. A controller then controls relative positioning between the optical substrate and the fringe pattern based on a signal derived from the recombined first and second reference beams.

    摘要: Long-period gratings are written more quickly and at higher intensities by amplitude masks having shadow-forming patterns that scatter, redirect, or otherwise divert shadow portions of radiation used for writing the gratings instead of blocking the shadow portions by absorption or reflection. The shadow-forming masks can be formed along transparent base optics by arrays of diffusers, diffractors, or refractors that relatively divert different portions of the radiation.
