    摘要: A new electro-optic sampling probe with femtosecond resolution suitable for ultra-fast electro-optic sampling. The new probe is several times thinner and has a dielectric constant four times less than the best reported conventional bulk LiTaO.sub.3 probes. In addition, the ultimate bandwidth is 50 percent greater than an equivalent LiTaO.sub.3 probe. The probe is a thin film of Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As used in both total internally reflecting and free-standing geometries. Here x is chosen for sufficient transmission of the crystal to the wavelength of the laser source being used for electro-optic sampling. The thickness of the film is a small fraction of the thickness of prior art probes and is chosen, for speed and sensitivity of electro-optic sampling, to be thin compared to the spatial extent of the laser pulse. The thin film probe eliminates many of the problems associated with the use of bulk crystals as electro-optic sensors.

    摘要: The present invention relates to coupling high power optical sources into small diameter optical fibers. In a first embodiment, an optical source is provided to the side of a fiber. The fiber is a single mode fiber, which has a cladding and a core, with a Bragg grating written into the core at a low angle. Light emitted from the optical source is index-match coupled into the cladding by using an index-matched element, and subsequently coupled into the fiber core along its length. Alternatively, the light is launched into an end of a larger diameter fiber with a mode reducing means, e.g. long period grating, therein for directing the light into the small diameter fiber.

    摘要: A pixel includes a photon detecting element coupled between a node and a ground, a transistor structure coupled between the node and a first predetermined voltage to provide a logarithmic response region, and a reset transistor coupled between the node and a second predetermined voltage to provide a linear response region where the second predetermined voltage is greater than the first predetermined voltage.
