Abstract: An optical device that includes a multicore optical fiber having at least two cores. An alignment feature is attached at the first end of the first multicore optical fiber. The device also includes a substrate having at least two waveguides, each waveguide comprising a redirecting feature. A fiber holder is located on the substrate to hold the multicore fiber in a correct axially rotational orientation using the alignment feature, so that light couples between the cores of the multicore fiber and respective waveguides in the substrate.

Abstract: An optical communications system includes a laser transmitter to generate an optical signal and a first optical fiber network coupled to transmit the optical signal from the laser transmitter system. A first latchable, asymmetric coupler is disposed along the first optical fiber network to receive the optical signal, and has a first tap output that receives a selected and alterable first fraction of the optical signal. A second latchable, asymmetric coupler is disposed along the first optical fiber network to receive the optical signal from the first latchable asymmetric coupler and has a second tap output that receives a selected and alterable second fraction of the optical signal incident at the second latchable. In certain embodiments the first and second couplers are capable of operating at any of at least three tapping fractions.

Abstract: An optical circuit that has a first input waveguide, at least a first output waveguide and an optical path between the first input waveguide and the at least a first output waveguide. A first totally internally reflecting (TIR) waveguide switch lies on the optical path between the first input waveguide and the at least a first output waveguide. A wavelength selective filter is disposed on the optical path between the first input waveguide and the at least one output waveguide, the wavelength selective filter being transmissive for light in a first wavelength range and reflective for light in a second wavelength range.

Abstract: An optical fiber ribbon cable is formed using thermally expandable core (TEC) fibers. Expanded optical cores are formed in sections of TEC fibers, so that each section of TEC fiber comprises a first region having an unexpanded core, a second region having an expanded core, and a tapered region between the first region and the second region. The respective sections are cleaved to length and formed into a ribbon. A hybrid optical fiber ribbon cable can be made by fusing single mode optical fibers of a single mode fiber ribbon cable with TEC fibers of a TEC fiber ribbon cable using a laser. The laser is also used to form tapered core regions in the TEC fibers to reduce coupling losses between the TEC fibers and the single mode fibers.

Abstract: Optical devices a formed by mounting one optical chip directly to another. In some embodiments, one of the optical chips is formed in a low index contrast platform while the other is formed in a high index contrast platform. In other embodiments, one optical chip includes a number of optical functional elements having different operational characteristics, such as a number of optical taps having different tap ratios. A second chip is mounted to receive an optical signal from an optical functional element having a selected operational characteristic.

Abstract: Optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices include an optical chip having a number of waveguides therein, with a common optical fiber and single wavelength channel optical fibers optically coupled to the waveguides. Wavelength sensitive filters are disposed between the chip and the fibers, or across waveguides within the chip to reflect light at certain wavelengths and to transmit light at other wavelengths. In sonic embodiments, all of the fibers are located at the same end of the chip, in others the common fiber is located at one side of the chip and the single channel fibers located at another side, while in others the common fiber is located at a first side of the chip and the single channel fibers are located either at the first side of the chip or at a second side of the chip.

Abstract: Components and arrangements for managing wave division multiplexing (WDM) filters of fiber optic networks. A flexible a substrate is used to fix a fiber routing scheme that corresponds to a cascading arrangement of WDM filters. The WDM filters can be packaged as a standalone unit for easier handling and splicing of fiber pigtails to the pre-arranged fiber routing scheme.

Abstract: The invention relates to the fabrication of optical switches in transparent substrates. The method includes exposing part of the substrate to a stream of femtosecond laser pulses to form an exposed volume which can later be etched to form a channel used for microfluidic control of the switch. This process is referred to as femtosecond laser induced chemical etching (FLICE). The waveguides of the optical switch are also written in the substrate by using femtosecond laser inscription (FLI), which can be performed in the same operation as the exposure step in the FLICE formation of the channel, thus ensuring alignment between the waveguides and the channel.
