    摘要： An optical switch constructed from first and second waveguides. The first and second waveguides have ends disposed across a gap such that light traversing the first waveguide enters the second waveguide when the gap is filled with a liquid having a first index of refraction, whereas light traversing the first waveguide is reflected by the gap when the gap is filled with a material having a second index of refraction that is substantially different from the first index of refraction. The gap is part of a trench that contains a liquid droplet made from a droplet material having the first index of refraction. The droplet is located in the trench and is movable between the first and second positions in the trench, the droplet filling the gap in the first position. The gap is filled with a material having the second index of refraction when the droplet is in the second position. The droplet may be moved using an electric field generated by a plurality of electrodes arranged such that an electrical potential applied between a first pair of the electrodes creates an electric field in a region of the trench containing the first position. The droplet can also be moved by differentially heating two edges of the droplet so as to create a net force on the droplet in a direction parallel to the direction of the trench. The heating can be accomplished by illuminating one edge of the droplet with light of a wavelength that is absorbed by the droplet material.

    摘要： A controllable optical attenuator comprising an optical waveguide which extends longitudinally along the optical attenuator. The optical waveguide has an exposed surface and a core that is positioned directly adjacent the exposed surface. The attenuator further comprises at least one elongated chamber which is formed transversely to the longitudinal extent of the optical waveguide and a liquid droplet which is disposed within the elongated chamber, the droplet being movable along the chamber from a position lateral of the optical waveguide exposed surface to a position in which contact is made between the liquid droplet and the optical waveguide exposed surface. When the liquid droplet is positioned so as to contact the exposed surface of the optical waveguide, a portion of the optical signal transmitted along the waveguide core is absorbed by the droplet so as to attenuate the transmitted signal.

    摘要： An optical apparatus and method for selectively transmitting optical signals utilizes an optical component having a controllable optical state to selectively manipulate the optical signals so that transmission of the optical signals through the optical apparatus is controlled. The optical apparatus is configured so that optical signals from a first port of the optical apparatus are transmitted to a second port of the optical apparatus regardless of the optical state of the optical component. The optical apparatus is further configured so that optical signals from the second port are not transmitted to the first port unless the optical component is switched to an active optical state.

    摘要： A polymerizable liquid crystalline monomer is described comprising a polymerizable first terminal group, a central portion, and a second terminal group, wherein the monomer is capable of filament formation. Filaments can form as a result of an isotropic to smectic phase transition and can subsequently be polymerized by photoinitiation, for example.
