    摘要: Apparatus for multiplexing or demultiplexing multiple laser beams of different wavelength. In multiplexing, the outputs from multiple diode lasers are combined in such a manner as to produce a practically parallel set of beams for direction onto a diffraction grating. The latter component deflects each beam from its normal path by an angular amount determined from the wavelength of the incident light. The angles of incidence of the multiple beams are chosen to provide angles of diffraction that are practically identical for all wavelengths under consideration. In demultiplexing, similar apparatus includes a diffraction grating to provide angular dispersion of the multiple wavelengths, at least one lens to magnify the angular differences, and a set of detectors positioned in the paths of the dispersed beams of different wavelengths.

    摘要: A technique for correcting wavefront aberrations introduced by large primary optical elements in portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The aberrations of the primary element are first transferred to a beacon beam and this aberrated beam is interfered with a reference beam in a holographic medium. These beams are then turned off and a beam from a distant object, containing the same aberrations, is allowed to diffract from the hologram. The diffracted beam from the hologram contains the image of the distant object with aberrations removed. Use of this technique permits the construction of large optical elements inexpensively, since surface tolerances of the elements can be substantially relaxed.

    摘要: Apparatus and a related method for control of the colinearity of multiple laser output beams in a wavelength-multiplexed optical communications system. Multiple lasers of different wavelengths formed into a single composite beam by means of a diffraction grating and other optical components are subject to loss in colinearity due to wavelength drift and mechanical alignment drift. The apparatus of one disclosed embodiment of the invention includes an alignment detector for the output beam and a set of tracer modulation detectors responsive to tracer modulation signals impressed on the individual laser beams. Misalignment detected in any one or more of the laser beams contained in the output beam is corrected by temperature control of the appropriate lasers. In another disclosed embodiment of the invention, misalignment is detected by partially reflecting the output beams back through the diffraction grating and other optical components to the lasers, but at angles slightly divergent from the common plane of the lasers. Position detectors located adjacent to the lasers, but not in the same plane, receive the return beams and are coupled to temperature control devices to adjust the individual lasers' wavelength, and hence maintain the colinearity of the output beams.

    摘要: Apparatus and a related method for generating a second harmonic frequency optical output from a fundamental frequency input beam, without significant birefringence. The apparatus includes two Type II doubler crystals of equal length arranged with their corresponding axes parallel to each other, and a polarization rotator positioned between the doubler crystals, to rotate the polarization angle of a residual fundamental frequency component of an output beam from one of the crystals by 90.degree. or an odd multiple of 90.degree.. Random birefringence introduced into one of the doubler crystals is virtually canceled in the other, and the assembly of the two crystals and the polarization rotator may be angularly adjusted as needed for phase matching or tuning, without detracting from the birefringence compensation capability. The invention is also disclosed in the context of a phase conjugated master oscillator power amplifier (PC MOPA) system.

    摘要: A laser of the type which generates linearly polarized light and including optical means for self-alignment. Among such polarized lasers are, for example, solid state lasers and particularly ruby lasers, as well as various gas lasers employing Brewster windows. The problem is solved by utilizing a corner reflector in the laser cavity which generates two parallel laser beams. In order to achieve effective laser operation the polarization determining aspect of the laser, that is the crystal axis or Brewster windows, must be so oriented with respect to the corner reflector that the laser beam in passing through the laser is so reflected by the corner reflector that the light will return through the laserable material with the same directon of polarization as that of the original laser beam generated by the laser.

    摘要: An optical communication system, using a radio frequency (RF) signal for communicating an analog communication signal, includes an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. The optical transmitter generates a reference light beam, generates a phase modulated communication light beam by phase modulating the reference light beam with the analog communication signal, polarizes a portion of the reference light beam and combines the polarized reference light beam and the phase modulated communication light beam. The optical receiver separates the reference light beam and the communication light beam, develops a shifted light beam that is shifted in frequency by the RF frequency, interferometrically combines the communication light beam with the shifted light beam to provide a heterodyne signal including information regarding the state of phase of the communication light beam, uses the heterodyne signal to produce an electrical signal at an optical beat frequency corresponding to the RF and with a phase corresponding to the state of phase of the communication light beam, and derives from the RF signal and the heterodyne signal an output signal that has a linear correspondence to the state of optical phase of the communication light beam and the analog communication signal.
