摘要: A silicon rib waveguide device includes a mode filter section serially connected to a curved rib section. The curved section has a width large enough to support multimode transmission while the filter section has a straight waveguide of smaller rib width supporting only single mode transmission. A tapered section connects the curved section to the straight section and an outwardly tapered waveguide is connected to the opposite end of the straight section.

摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated optical device on a substrate is described wherein the device comprises first and second areas each containing at least one optical component. The first and second areas are separated by a third relatively featureless area, which provides optical communication between the first and second areas. The method uses a photolithographic stepper to define features of the optical components in the first area within a first exposure field and the features of the optical component(s) in the second area within a second exposure field, the stepper being moved between exposures so that first and second exposure fields are contiguous, and a line of contact or area of overlap between the first and second fields lies within the third, relatively featureless area of the substrate. The method may be used to form an arrayed waveguide grating with input waveguides within a first field, an array of curved waveguides in a second field and output waveguides in a third field, the fields overlapping in relatively featureless areas between the respective waveguide components.

摘要: A multi-wavelength polarization monitor for use in optical networks is disclosed. A received light signal is beam split into first and second signal portions using a beam splitter having known optical characteristics. Each of the first and second signal portions is then dispersed onto a detector array using a first and second dispersive element having known polarization-dependent characteristics. The signal portions are dispersed other than as channelized data within known channels. The dispersed first and second signal portions are then detected using a first and a second detector array and electrical signals in dependence thereupon are provided for A/D conversion and digital signal processing. Using a processor the signals are spectrally augmented and the polarization of the light signal within each of the predetermined wavelength ranges corresponding to the known channels is determined in dependence upon the spectrally augmented signals and based on the known optical characteristics of the elements involved. The disclosed multi-wavelength polarization monitor is realised in a relatively simple manner and allows manufacturing of the same as a very compact integrated device at relatively low cost.
