摘要： Systems and methods are provided or use with a light source which generates a light beam. These systems may include a detector which detects light beam information and which determines whether multiple modes are present in the light beam so that the light source may be adjusted. These systems may further include a beam splitting device, such as an optical wedge, to provide two sample beams that intersect to provide a fringe pattern. The detector may then detect this fringe pattern and compute a visibility value that may be used to determine whether multiple modes are present.

摘要： A wavelength router is provided that selectively directs spectral bands between an input port and a set of output ports. The router includes a free-space optical train disposed between the input port and the output ports. The free-space optical train may include air-spaced elements or may be of generally monolithic construction. The optical train includes a transmissive dispersive element, such as a transmissive diffraction grating, disposed so that light is intercepted from the input port and encounters the transmissive dispersive element at least four times before reaching any of the output ports.

摘要： A diffraction grating is fabricated by forming two sets of parallel trenches in a crystal surface, one set with a crystalline-independent etching technique and the other made with a chemically crystalline-dependent etchant. The intersection of the two sets of trenches removes material from the crystal surface to produce an etched crystal surface that can be coated with a reflective material to form the diffraction grating or can be used as a master for batch fabrication of diffraction gratings.

摘要： A reflective lamellar diffraction grating is provided that is suitable for a variety of applications, including applications related to C-band telecommunication functions. The average efficiency of the diffraction grating in S- and P-polarization states exceeds 90% while simultaneously providing a PDL less than 0.2 dB over the entire wavelength range used for C-band telecommunication functions. The diffraction grating is thus suitable for incorporation into various telecommunication systems, including a wavelength router configured for routing signals having a plurality of spectral bands.
