    摘要: A mounting platform provides support and packaging for one or more fiber Bragg gratings and electronic circuitry (e.g., heaters, coolers, piezoelectric strain providers, temperature and strain sensors, feedback circuitry, control loops), which may be printed on or on the mounting platform, embedded in the mounting platform, or may be an “off-board” chip solution (e.g., the electronic circuitry may be attached to the mounting platform, but not formed on or defined on the mounting platform). The fiber Bragg gratings are held in close proximity to the electronic circuitry, which applies local and global temperature and/or strain variations to the fiber Bragg gratings to, for example, stabilize and/or tune spectral properties of the fiber Bragg gratings so that spatial variations in the fiber Bragg gratings that result from processing and manufacturing fluctuations and tolerances can be compensated for.

    摘要: Encoders and decoders for applying composite codes to optical data signals include encoders and decoders for applying both subcodes and supercodes. The subcodes have a duration selected as less than or equal to an interchip duration or a chip duration of the supercodes. The encoders and decoders (“coders”) include fiber Bragg gratings configured to encode or decode a subcode, a supercode, or a composite code. By coding with a subcode coder and a supercode coder, a coder is reconfigurable by selecting different subcodes or supercodes. Communication systems and methods using composite codes are also described.

    摘要: Optical communication systems include a central station that encodes data transmitted to multiplexing (mux) stations or user stations. The central station also decodes data received from the mux stations or user stations. Encoding and decoding are performed using codes, such as composite codes, that designate sources and destinations for data. The mux stations, user stations, and the central station have address encoders and decoders that use, for example, fiber Bragg gratings to encode or decode optical signals according to a code such as a composite code derived by combining codes from one or more sets of codes. A passive optical network comprises one or more levels of mux stations that use such address decoders and encoders to receive, decode, and encode data for transmission toward a central station or a user station.

    摘要: Code-multiplexed communication systems, apparatus, and methods include coders that encode and decode data streams with synchronous, substantially orthogonal codes. Code-multiplexed communications systems encode data signals with such codes to control levels of decoding artifacts such as cross-talk at times or time intervals in which data is recovered. Some systems are based on synchronous, orthogonal codes that are obtained from complex orthogonal vectors. In an example, a three-level temporal-phase code that includes nine code chips and encodes and decodes data signals is a seven-channel communication system.

    摘要: Programmable waveguide coders are disclosed that include one or more corrugation segments and one or more spacer segments formed on or in a waveguide defined by a core in an electro-optic substrate. Each of the corrugation segments and the spacer segments are independently controllable with voltages applied to each segment's electrodes. The spacer segments permit application of a phase modulation to an input while the corrugation segments act as tunable gratings, wherein a center grating wavelength is tunable by applying a voltage to an electrode associated with the corrugation segment. In some embodiments, coders include only corrugation segments or only spacer segments. Such coders can be strain tuned or thermally tuned. The coders can be programmatically tuned to code or decode a time-wavelength code or other code.

    摘要: The phase (and amplitude) of a wave front may be accurately measured using knowledge of the wave front of an optical field generated by an optical element, permitting the determination of the spatial transfer function of that optical element. As a device under test is scanned across an aperture plate having slits, variations in the relative amplitude and phase of light passing through the slits are affected by the optical properties of the device under test, in turn affecting the interference pattern at a detector. Changes in the amplitude and phase of the detected signal are directly and uniquely related to the transfer function of the device under test.
