    摘要: An electro-modulating device for modulating light from a light source, as part of an opto-electronic communication network has a modulating medium for modulating light passing therethrough by varying an electric field applied across the modulating medium, an optical input-output surface, a light reflector, and electrodes for applying the varying electric field across the modulating medium. The input-output surface, the medium and the reflector are arranged so that light enters the medium through the input-output surface, travels through the medium towards the reflector, is reflected by the reflector to travel back through the medium towards the input-output surface, and exits the medium through the input-output surface. The electric field is transverse to light traversing the medium between the input-out surface and the reflector, to make it easier to couple an optic fiber to the input-output surface of the modulating medium.

    摘要: An optical isolator (1) includes an isolator element (4) having an optical axis and a Faraday rotator (6) and at least one polarizer (7a, 7b) and a magnet (2). The magnet (2) is an open-core magnet shaped so that when placed on a substantially planar surface an orifice (3) is defined by the magnet (2) and the substantially planar surface. The isolator element (4) is located within the orifice so that the optical axis passes through the orifice. Such an isolator is well adapted for use in semiconductor laser modules.

    摘要: A laser wavelength locking control loop apparatus comprising a wavelength selective device and a photodetector, coupled to a feedback controller circuit. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by the laser device is provided to the wavelength selective device which provides a first output signal at a first wavelength and a second output signal at a second wavelength. The first and second output signals are directed to the photodetector so as to coincide when incident thereupon. A beat signal results from the coincidence of the first and second output signals and this is used to measure wavelength drift.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a modulated light source, in particular for use as part of an opto-electronic communication network. The modulated light source has a laser and an external electro-optic modulator for modulating the intensity of light produced by the laser. A temperature sensor senses the temperature of the laser and the modulator. A control circuit connected to the temperature sensor adjusts the bias on the modulator so that the band edge of the modulator follows the changes in wavelength of the laser as the laser warms up during operation. This avoids the need for a cooling element to keep the temperature of the laser constant.
