摘要： The inventive optical component assembly advantageously enables a multi-waveguide optical component (such as the inventive optical fiber coupler array, a multi-core optical fiber, etc.), to be coupled to at least one waveguide of an optical device at a predefined coupling angle. The optical component assembly of the present invention comprises a multi-waveguide optical component with an output end, a prism having an input surface, an output surface, and an internal reflective surface with a predefined reflection angle, and a GRIN lens, positioned between the component output end and the prism input surface, along a longitudinal axis of the multi-waveguide optical component. In accordance with the present invention, the length of the GRIN lens, and its refractive index gradient profile are optimized to form an optical image of the output end of the multi-waveguide optical component, at the output surface of the prism, thus enabling the output surface of the prism to be coupled to at least one waveguide of an optical device, with the predefined reflection angle corresponding to the angle at which the multi-waveguide optical component may be coupled to the optical device.

摘要： An optical fiber mode coupling device, capable of being readily connected to a conventional optical fiber with a high degree of ruggedness, is provided. The inventive mode coupling device only allows transmission of at least one supported fiber mode therethrough, and is preferably configured to maximize the coupling, of at least one desired fiber mode, to the at least one supported fiber mode. Advantageously, the inventive mode coupling device is capable of performing the functions of a mode filter for the signal entering its first end, or serving as a mode conditioner for the signal entering its opposite second end. Thus, in one practical application thereof, the novel mode coupling device functions as a mode filter by maximizing the coupling between at least one desired fiber mode of a multi-mode input signal entering the device's first end, and at least one supported mode of the device, to produce an output signal at the device's second end that comprises at least one predetermined fiber mode, corresponding to at least one desired fiber mode. In another practical application thereof, the novel mode coupling device functions as a mode conditioner by maximizing the coupling between an input signal, comprising at least one predetermined fiber mode, that enters the device's second end, and, and at least one supported mode of the device, to produce an output signal at the device's first end that comprises at least one desired fiber mode, corresponding to a conditioned at least one predetermined fiber mode.

摘要： An chiral optical fiber polarizer is provided that is capable of being fabricated in-line along a conventional polarization maintaining fiber, preferably one which includes at least one structure element that is external, and parallel, to the fiber's core. The novel chiral fiber polarizer is preferably positioned between two unmodified optical fiber portions, and includes a modified central portion with altered fiber cladding interface elements on each side thereof. The modified central portion is of a non-circular cross section, and comprises at least one diameter reduced sub-section operable to allow a light signal of said predefined operation wavelength to propagate substantially in the core and in the at least one external structure element, at least one diameter expanded sub-section operable to allow a light signal to propagate substantially in the core, each sub-section being produced in accordance with a corresponding predefined diameter reduction and expansion profile, where the modified central portion is further configured in accordance with at least one helical pitch profile that is operable to, upon receiving a light signal with a first and second linear polarization components: convert the first linear polarization component to a first elliptical polarization component while scattering the first elliptical polarization component, and convert the second linear polarization component to a second elliptical polarization component, transmit therethrough, and convert back to the second linear polarization component prior to exit therefrom. The inventive polarizer also substantially eliminates the possibility of an undesirable SBS effect.

摘要： A single helix chiral fiber grating of a predetermined grating strength is provided that is operable to control light transmission in a predetermined wavelength range. The novel fiber grating comprises a first optical fiber with a first interface portion at a first end, a second interface portion at a second end, and a middle portion therebetween. The first optical fiber is configured with at least one fiber core, surrounded by a corresponding at least one cladding, with a first longitudinal section disposed within the first interface portion, a second longitudinal section disposed within the second interface portion, and also includes a longitudinal helical section, disposed therebetween within the middle portion, that comprises a longitudinal helix structure of a single predetermined handedness, having a predetermined pitch profile, and having a predetermined helix diameter profile selected and configured to produce the predetermined grating strength. The helical section of the novel fiber grating is preferably produced by placing the first optical fiber, proximal to and parallel with a second fiber (or equivalent elongated member), and longitudinally twisting them together to form a double helix structure. Advantageously, the diameter of the second fiber (or a diameter profile thereof) may be selected to achieve the predetermined helix diameter profile in the helical section of the first fiber. The second fiber may be left proximal to the first fiber after fabrication or removed.

摘要： A method and apparatus for producing a X-ray image of a patient's teeth by placing an intra-oral sensor having a plurality of pixels disposed in a linear array inside the patient's mouth, and moving a radiation source around outside of the patient's mouth. The intra-oral sensor detects the radiation that has passed through the patient's teeth and generates corresponding output signals that depend on the amount of radiation arriving at each pixel. The information contained in the output signals is stored and can be used to create an X-ray image of the patient's teeth. The intra-oral sensor can be moved about inside the patient's mouth in coordination with the movement of the radiation source in order to improve the resulting image quality. This method and apparatus can be used to obtain an X-ray image of any number of teeth, including a panoramic image of all of the patient's teeth, in a single, quick, uninterrupted operation.

摘要： A support mechanism may maintain a middle phalanx in a fixed position relative to an imaging sensor/receptor during a bone mineral density (BMD) test. The mechanism may comprise a flat hand plate and a cover. The cover may be shaped so that it guides the finger towards the target area of the receptor. The cover may be raised slightly above the hand plate. A hand may be placed in the mechanism with the palm facing downwards, resting on the hand plate, and the middle finger raised and resting flat on an imaging receptor. A musculoskeletal response may ensure that the middle phalanx remains proximate the imaging receptor for the duration of the BMD Test.
