    摘要: An optical component is provided. The optical component includes an optical-path portion including an arm-connecting portion and a lower portion, a first arm extending from a first end of the arm-connecting portion, and a second arm extending from a second end of the arm-connecting portion. The first arm has at least one resting feature and the second arm has at least one resting feature. The optical-path portion has an input surface. When the resting features of the first arm and the second arm are positioned on a top surface at short edges of a trench in a trench system, the optical-path portion is vertically aligned in the trench.

    摘要: An improved resonator fiber-optic gyro (RFOG). An example RFOG includes a closed-coil resonator where counter-propagating laser beams are done by fiber couplers. Signals are extracted from the ring resonator using other fiber couplers. The fiber couplers may be fiber spliced couplers, free-space fiber-to-fiber coupling elements or comparable coupling devices. A silicon structure may be used to align components of the gyro or just the coupling elements. The resonator includes a hollow-core fiber.

    摘要: A vertically integrated magnetic memory with Hall effect sensing or reading. It has a ferromagnetic structure with a nearly enclosed magnetic path, which is a vertical structure integrated on a chip. Each memory cell has a closed magnetic field that has high strength for a strong Hall effect. The magnet is a closed loop, robust reproducible magnet. A memory array of such cells uses little power in that only few cells need to draw the read current for a short time required to read the information. A silicon or GaAs chip implementation of the memory is one embodiment, among others, wherein the field required to saturate the electrons can be achieved without excessive power.
