Abstract: An optoelectronic micromodule (201) comprises an optoelectronic component (204), which is fixed on a main carrier (202) and can emit light in an emission direction (206) directed parallel to a main carrier surface (203) of the main carrier (202), and a radiation variation unit (208), which is arranged in the emission direction (206) and fixed to an auxiliary carrier (209), which has an auxiliary carrier surface (210) which is oriented plane-parallel to the main carrier surface (203) and is in touching contact with the latter. The auxiliary carrier (209) is arranged such that it is shiftable plane-parallel to the auxiliary carrier surface (210) relative to the emission direction (206), thereby enabling a two-dimensional adjustment of the radiation variation unit (208). The radiation variation unit (208) can be adjusted both parallel and perpendicularly to the emission direction (206).

Abstract: The invention relates to a module for multiplexing and/or demultiplexing optical signals, having at least one wavelength-selective filter for multiplexing or demultiplexing into the module optical signals which have been coupled in or out, light beams of at least one optical channel respectively striking a wavelength-selective filter at a specific angle of incidence and, in the process, being separated from the light beams of other optical channels or being combined therewith. According to the invention, at least one wavelength-selective filter (Fi) can be set with reference to the angle of incidence of the light beams. The invention makes available a module in the case of which the center wavelength of a filter can be set precisely on the basis of the adjustability of the angle of incidence and, moreover, a specific filter (Fi) can also be used for several wavelengths.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for acquiring information using a relative phase deviation between the phase of a receipt signal of an optical homodyne receiver and the phase of an optical signal of a local oscillator of the receiver. Previously information had to be taken from a control signal included in a larger DC signal. The compensation for the DC component is difficult. So as to make this unnecessary, the frequency F.sub.Lo of the local oscillator is shifted by the frequency f.sub.H of a defined auxiliary carrier and the frequency-shifted optical signal is then superimposed on the optical receive signal and is detected. The detected signal is band-pass-filtered and is shifted to the baseband frequency by mixing with the same auxiliary carrier and then is low-passed filtered. The DC voltage obtained indicates the relative phase relationship between the local oscillator and the receive signal based on the sign of the signal and indicates the absolute phase deviation by its amplitude. The DC voltage signal can then be supplied to a control loop so as to make this signal as small as possible.

Abstract: A controllable directional coupler comprises two optical waveguides on the surface of a substrate of electrooptical material, the waveguides extending parallel for a predetermined distance. The coupler also comprises a control electrode structure including a pair of control electrodes formed on the surface of the substrate and covering the two parallel waveguides along their lengths. In order to achieve low control voltage and a low coupling loss, in the case of butt coupling to a monomode fiber, in the interstice between the two optical waveguides, the refractive index of the substrate is reduced to a specific depth of the substrate at which the coupling intensity becomes largely independent of the near-field expansion in the waveguides.

Abstract: A method of producing a light conductor structure having a pair of light conductors embedded in a substrate and electrodes arranged between the light conductors which structure is particularly adapted to be used as an electrically controllable coupler, characterized by providing a substrate, applying a strip of diffusion material on the substrate at the location of each of the light conductors, covering each of the strips of diffusion material with a protective layer of material, applying a metal layer to the substrate and the layer of protective material, removing the protective layer and the metal layer supported thereon, and then diffusing the diffusion material into the substrate by heating to a desired temperature. The embodiments of the method include applying an adhesive layer prior to applying the metal layer to facilitate the attachment of the metal layer on the substrate and applying a dielectric layer prior to applying either the metal layer or the adhesive layer to prevent diffusion of either the adhesive or metal layer into the substrate during the diffusion process.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to adjust the operating point of a laser that can be modulated by a data signal. The operating point of the laser is adjusted by regulating a direct current flowing through the laser; whereby said direct current correlates with the optical characteristics of the laser. In order to carry out said adjustment, the direct current is controlled above an alterable threshold current. A differential current defined from the difference between the direct current and the threshold current or a variable correlating with the differential current is adjusted to a constant value or one that is solely dependent on temperature for the adjustment of said operating point.
