    摘要： A resonant optical filter includes first and second transmission waveguides and a resonator (including one or more evanescently coupled resonator segments). The resonator supports at least one circumferential resonant mode and is evanescently coupled to the waveguides. An optical signal entering the filter through a waveguide and substantially resonant with the resonator is transferred to the other waveguide, while an optical signal entering the filter and substantially non-resonant with the resonator remains in the same waveguide. Multiple resonator segments may be formed on a common resonator fiber and positioned for enabling coupling between them, resulting in a tailored frequency filter function. The resonators may include alignment structure(s) (flanges, grooves, etc) for enabling passive positioning and/or supporting first and second transmission waveguides, such as optical fiber tapers. Structures may also be provided for suppressing undesired optical modes and/or resonances associated with the resonators and/or alignment structures on the resonator fiber.

    摘要： A fiber-ring optical resonator comprises a transverse segment of an optical fiber differing from adjacent segments in at least one physical property (e.g., diameter, density, refractive index, chemical composition, etc) so that it may support a resonant circumferential optical mode and enable evanescent optical coupling between the circumferential mode and an optical mode of a second optical element. The resonator may be fabricated with alignment structure(s) for enabling passive alignment of the second optical element for evanescent coupling, and/or with structure for suppressing undesired modes and/or resonances. A fiber-ring resonator may form a portion of a resonant optical filter or modulator. A plurality of optically-coupled fiber-ring resonators (formed on one or more fibers) may provide tailored spectral properties. Spatially-selective techniques for forming a fiber-ring resonator may include masking/etching, masking/deposition, laser machining, laser patterning, combinations thereof, and/or functional equivalents thereof.

    摘要： An optically based resonating sensor useful for detecting and discriminating specified substances present in the environment is provided. The resonating sensor comprises a light source and a coupler adapted to allow light to pass from the light source to a resonator wherein the light is stored for a specified period of time. The resonator is coupled to the coupler such that some portion of the light passing through the coupler enters the resonator and some portion of the light resonating within the resonator exits the resonator to the coupler. The outer surface of the resonator is modified such that the interaction of the modified outer surface of the resonator with a specified substance in the environment alters some characteristic of the light flowing through the sensor system. A detector is arranged to observe and detect the interactions between the modified outer surface and the light flowing through the system.

    摘要： All-optical logic gates in which binary words are encoded using wavelength. A method and apparatus for processing information in this wavelength encoded format is provided. The processing may occur entirely in the optical domain. This approach is modular and enables construction of logic gates using custom wave guide chips that can be mass-produced in a manner similar to that of conventional electronic digital chips. Specific gates, such as AND, OR, EXOR, or NAND, may be "programmed" into a given chip during its fabrication to encode the desired truth table. The output states of the chip are determined by ultrafast mixing of binary encoded wavelengths in a semiconductor optical amplifier. The result is a new wavelength having a relationship to the input wavelengths determined entirely by the desired truth table. The possible clock-rates for these gates can be exceedingly high, such as several hundred Gigabits/second. The product of integer word length "N" and gate clock speed can exceed several Terabits/second and may be as high as the overall optical bandwidth of the system. Complicated multi-input functions may be constructed using this approach and dynamically programmable functions may be built in which either electrical or optical signals reconfigure a set of gates by reprogramming the inverter operations in the chips.

    摘要： Optical components may be aligned for transverse-optical coupling by: fabricating a first optical component on a substrate; fabricating an alignment member on the substrate suitably positioned relative to the first optical component; and assembling a second optical component onto the alignment member, thereby establishing transverse optical coupling between the optical components. The substrate may preferably be substantially planar. The alignment member may mechanically engage the second optical component so as to accurately establish and stably maintain transverse optical coupling. The first optical component and the alignment member may preferably be fabricated on the substrate using precision spatially selective materials processing techniques. Transverse optical coupling between two optical components may be stably maintained by substantially embedding transverse-coupled portions of the components in a substantially solid substantially transparent low-index medium. An alignment member may serve to accurately position the transverse-coupled components prior to embedding and hold them in place during embedding.
