摘要： Output for a laser is greatly increased by altering the transmitivity of a superconductor layer which serves as one of the mirrors of the laser cavity. The superconductor layer is switched between a superconductive state, having reflectivity of one, and a non-superconductive state, having a reflectivity of less than one. When the mirror is in its superconducting state, output power is decreased and power in the cavity is increased, and when the mirror is in its non-superconducting state, output power of the laser is increased and power in the cavity decreases.

摘要： A multi-layer passivation barrier (24) for, and a method of, passivating a superconducting layer (22) of a microelectronic device (20). The passivation barrier includes a passivating layer (32) and a barrier buffering layer (30). The passivating layer provides a barrier to moisture, salts, alkali metals and the like located outside the device. The passivating layer also provides a barrier to outdiffusion of oxygen from the superconducting layer. The buffering layer permits oxygen to diffuse therethrough and provides a barrier to prevent diffusion of one or more constituent chemical elements of the passivating layer into the superconducting layer. The method includes the steps of depositing the barrier buffering layer (30) onto the superconducting layer (22) and depositing the passivating layer (32) onto the buffering layer.

摘要： The optical assembly for modulating input light and providing modulated light at an output thereof includes a first arrangement, which includes a layer of a superconductive material having at least a part of the input light incident thereon as incident light. The superconductive material is switchable between a first state, in which the superconductive material exhibits a first refractive index, and a second state, in which the superconductive material exhibits a second refractive index. The first arrangement is configured to direct to the output as the modulated light a first fraction of the incident light, when the superconductive material is in the first state, and a second fraction of the incident light, when the superconductive material is in the second state, such that the modulated light exhibits a given value of extinction ratio, which is defined as a ratio of the first fraction of the incident light to the second fraction of the incident light at the output. The optical assembly further includes a second arrangement cooperating with the first arrangement to provide at the output of the optical assembly another value of the extinction ratio that is smaller than the given value.

摘要： A light modulation system, wherein a light source provides light of a certain wavelength to be modulated by a material layer, which forms part of a specifically configured plate assembly. The modulation layer is placed in the optical path of the light source. Further, the modulation layer is switched between first and second states, and cooperates with the light source to produce a train of pulses at a given pulse rate. The resulting optical pulses transmitted through the modulation layer are converted from the original certain wavelength to a lower wavelength by a frequency converting device.

摘要： An optical data transmission system includes an optical data receiver having a plurality of optical detectors and an optical switch which directs successive pulses of a serial data stream to different detectors. The switch includes one or more superconductive mirrors responsive to current pulses to change from a superconducting, reflective state to a non-superconducting, non-reflective state for the duration of a current pulse. In this manner, high speed optical data is received by detectors incapable of operating at the high speed of available optical data links and transmitters. The mirror is oriented at an angle to the data stream such that an optical pulse is reflected to one detector when the mirror is in the superconducting, reflective state and is passed through the mirror to another detector when the mirror is temporarily in the non-superconducting, non-reflective state under the control of a current pulse. A plurality of mirrors may be used to direct optical pulses of the incoming data stream to more than two detectors.

摘要： An optical fiber includes a core for guiding light of a specified range of wavelengths therethrough, each wavelength in the specified range of wavelengths traveling through the core at a particular group velocity and the light potentially producing a nonlinear optical effect. The optical fiber also includes a cladding formed around the core for substantially containing the light within the core. The optical fiber further includes a predetermined amount of at least one dopant uniformly dispersed throughout the core such that no two distinct wavelengths in the specified range of wavelengths travel through the core at the same, particular group velocity, thereby causing the nonlinear optical effect to be suppressed.
