Abstract: A polarizing device has an arrangement of generally parallel elements disposed in an unpolarized source light beam for transmitting polarizations perpendicular to the elements and reflecting polarizations parallel to the elements. The elements may be disposed at substantially any incidence angle and may reflect the reflected beam at substantially any angle. The elements may be disposed on a substrate or embedded in a substrate. The elements may be disposed in a curved layer. The substrate may also have a curved surface. A polarizer apparatus may also have a mirror or the like for redirecting or recapturing the transmitted or reflected beam so they have similar directions or are directed to a common area. The device may also have a wave plate or the like for changing the polarization of the transmitted or reflected beams so they have the same polarization.

Abstract: An optical polarizer device that reflects light of one polarization over a controlled angular range, and improved twisted nematic liquid crystal display devices incorporating the same, is comprised of a grid of conductive elements supported on a textured substrate such that light of one polarization is transmitted through the grid while light of the orthogonal polarization is reflected. The angular distribution of the reflected light is determined by the texture of the substrate. Liquid crystal display embodiments include a configuration intended exclusively for front illumination by ambient light and a configuration which may use either front-illumination or back illumination by an internal light source.

Abstract: An OADM device with low PDL and PMD for use in optical communications systems comprises: a through optical waveguide, a coupling circuit element and an add/drop circuit element comprising at least one of an input waveguide and an output waveguide. The coupling lightwave circuit element is optically coupled to the add/drop circuit element and the through optical waveguide by means of electrically variable gratings. Typically, the optical signal is a multi-channel WDM signal. Preferably, the variable grating is an ESBG. Each grating is overlaid by an electrode arrangement applied to a cover glass. Each electrode arrangement has first and second portions spaced from one another in the direction of light propagation, The electrodes provide electric fields that are generally orthogonal to one another and transverse to the direction of light propagation, thereby minimizing the effects of PDL and PMD. A selected channel is dropped from the optical waveguide by applying appropriate voltages to the electrode arrangement, such that the selected channel is transferred from the through optical waveguide to the coupling circuit element and from the coupling circuit element to the output waveguide of the add/drop circuit element. A selected channel is added to the optical waveguide by applying appropriate voltages to the electrode arrangement such that the selected channel is transferred from the input waveguide of the add/drop circuit element to the coupling circuit element and from the coupling circuit element to the through waveguide. The coupling circuit element may be an S-shaped coupling waveguide or a ring coupler waveguide.
