摘要: Cholesteric liquid crystal cell units are used for reflecting or transmitting incident light responsive to control signals. A cholesteric liquid crystal cell unit has a first cholesteric liquid crystal cell and a second cholesteric liquid crystal cell. The second cholesteric liquid crystal cell respectively reflects or transmit lights from the first cholesteric liquid crystal cell responsive to a control signal when the first cholesteric liquid crystal cell reflects circularly polarized light of one state or transmits the incident light. In one embodiment of the cell unit, a &pgr;-phase waveplate element is located between the first and second cholesteric liquid crystal cells. With the cholesteric liquid crystal cell units, devices such as optical switches, and WDM add/drop multiplexers, and optical switch systems with arrays of input and output optical fibers between a switching matrix formed by the cholesteric liquid crystal cell units, may be constructed.

摘要: A polarization element and a polarization-sensitive optical isolator are integrated to form an integrated VOA. A preferred embodiment uses a liquid crystal cell as the polarization element to which is attached an optical isolator core of a first polarizer, Faraday rotator, and second polarizer. Voltage on the liquid crystal cell electrodes controls the amount of polarized light from the liquid crystal cell passing through the first polarizer and light in the opposite direction is blocked. The integrated VOA can be mounted within a laser device package so that the power of the source laser diode on the output fiber can be controlled and yet the laser diode is protected from light undesirably entering laser device package through the output fiber.

摘要: A temperature compensation circuit arrangement for liquid crystal cells in optical devices is presented. In an optical device, a liquid crystal cell typically manipulates the optical signals according to an output optical property, such as attenuation, responsive to an AC voltage source electrical signal. A feedback circuit arrangement is connected to the liquid crystal cell and controls the current through the liquid crystal cell with respect to temperature by a predetermined control equations for the output optical property so that the device manipulates the optical signals independently of temperature. The current follows the control equations, which are empirically determined with respect to temperature for one equation.

摘要: The invention provides a package which varies the tension within a fiber Bragg grating (or other fiber-based optical device) by resilient deflection of a fiber support member through differential thermal expansion, thereby allowing the temperature/tension characteristics of the package to be tailored so as to provide the desired optical characteristics throughout a wide temperature range. The fiber tension/temperature correlation may be tailored using the linear coefficient of expansion of two different materials, by varying the resilient flexibility of a beam supporting the fiber, by varying a length of an arm extending from the beam to the fiber, by varying the resilient strength of the arm, and the like. By relying on the resilient deformation of a flexible fiber support structure, the present invention provides a large number of degrees of freedom within the package design parameters. Where such precise control over the temperature/tension correlation is not required, the invention provides alternative compensation packages which can be mass-produced easily.

摘要: The present invention provides fiber optic couplers for use with at least three optic fibers. The optic fibers arranged in a linear array, that is, the optic fibers are coupled side by side. The fibers along either end of the linear-array are coupled only to a single fiber, while the remaining fibers are generally coupled between only two adjacent fibers. Generally, at least one of the fibers has a propagation constant different than the other fibers. Such variations in the propagation constant are used to vary the coupling coefficients among the fibers of the linear-array, thereby providing a repeatable mechanism, to vary coupled power ratios among the fibers of the coupler. Theoretical calculations and empirical experience have shown that varying the propagation constant of fibers among a linear-array, generally by pre-pulling the fibers by varying amounts, allows repeatable manufacturing of 1.times.3, 3.times.3, 1.times.4, 4.times.4, 1.times.N and even N.times.N fiber couplers having even coupled power ratios.

摘要: An improved optical attenuator minimizes polarization mode dispersion in optical signals carried by optical fiber systems. The optical signals are expanded and refocussed by GRIN lenses, and the attenuator makes use of a liquid crystal cell disposed between birefringent polarizers for polarization-independent attenuation or switching. A birefringent plate compensates for dispersion of the ordinary and extra-ordinary rays within the attenuator. The plate will often be disposed at an oblique angle to minimize walk-off between these rays.
