摘要: The present invention relates to bi-directional circulators based on interleaver technology, e.g. birefringent crystal interleaver technology, that enables signals containing even number ITU channels to travel in one direction through the device, while signals containing odd number ITU channels travel in the opposite direction. Open and closed three and four port devices are disclosed, as well as several useful implementations of the three port device in combination with other optical components, which result in hybrid uni-directional and bi-directional devices.

摘要: Bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolators provide the ability to pass a first set of optical signals (e.g., ITU even channels) from a first port to a second port, while preventing a second set of optical signals from passing thereto. The bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolators also pass the second set of optical signals (e.g., ITU odd channels) from the second port to the first port, while preventing the first set of optical signals from passing thereto. Thus, the bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolator can provide bi-directional communications by passing a first set of signals in a first direction and a second set of signals in a second direction.

摘要: Interleavers, based on a Michelson interferometer with a Gires-Tournois (GT) etalon in each arm, are becoming popular in the filtering of light in the fiber optics telecommunications industry. As the channel spacing becomes closer together, e.g. 50 GHz or 25 GHz, dispersion compensation becomes an important factor in the choice and design of a system. The present invention solves the problem of increased chromatic dispersion by utilizing multi-cavity Gires-Tournois (MCGT) etalons, wherein the dispersion from one MCGT is used to compensate or cancel the dispersion from the other MCGT. In an optimum design for a dual cavity GT etalon, the dispersion profile of the first MCGT will have a similar amplitude and frequency as the dispersion profile of the second MCGT, only shifted by half the period so that the positive slopes of one profile are aligned with the negative slopes of the other profile.

摘要: A wavelength cross connect is provided in which there is a dispersive arrangement per port for each input port and each output port. Some of the dispersive arrangements have differing characteristics so as to result in different performances at the ports. The dispersive arrangements can differ in the selection of different dispersive elements or differing coupling optics. A particular implementation features a first set of waveguide dispersive elements having first performance characteristics, and a second set of waveguide dispersive elements having second performance characteristics.

摘要: An array of dispersive arrangements, for example an array of waveguide dispersive elements, is compensated with a set of optical compensators such as wedges or pairs of cylindrical lenses. The optical compensators are selected to achieve a pre-defined dispersion profile across the array of waveguide dispersive elements. The optical compensators can make corrections for fabrication errors or other errors in an optical system that includes the array of waveguide dispersive elements. A particular application is found in waveguide selective switches.

摘要: The filtering of optical signals, and in particular the interleaving/de-interleaving of optical signals is becoming a necessary step in Dense-Wavelength Division Multiplexing (D-WDM), because of a requirement for smaller channel spacing due to higher levels of traffic. Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters, including lattice and birefringent waveplate versions, are a particular type of optical filter used for interleavering/de-interleavering optical channels, which can be defined by their transfer function H(f). To ensure dispersion free filtering, the present invention provides a cascaded optical filter, comprising two optical filters, wherein the transfer function of the second filter is the complex conjugate of the first filter, i.e. H2(f)=H1*(f), or the complex conjugate of the first filter H1*(f) multiplied by the transfer function of a dispersion free optical filter G(f).

摘要: A conventional interleaver, based on a stack of waveplates, relies on the orientation and the birefringence of the waveplates to differentiate the polarizations of one set of channels from another, so that the one set of channels can be separated from the other. The present invention relates to a virtual waveplate that is used to replace a birefringent waveplate. A virtual waveplate imposes a phase delay between the extraordinary ray and the ordinary ray by separating one from the other and differentiating the actual path lengths taken thereby, before recombining them. An interleaver constructed with the virtual waveplates of the present invention can be substantially a-thermal and potentially chromatic dispersion free.

摘要: To resynchronize input optical signals with different optical carrier frequencies f1, f2 a delayed optical signal is created by applying a variable time-delay to one of the signals. A combination signal is formed by coupling measurement optical signals respectively obtained from the delayed signal and from the other input signal. A mixed signal is formed by injecting the combination signal into a non-linear optical device. A filtered signal is formed from the mixed signal using a filter tuned to an optical frequency f3 equal to p.f1+q.f2, p and q being relative integers such that the frequency f3 is different to the frequencies f1 and f2 of the carrier waves. The variable time-delay is controlled in accordance with a control electrical signal representative of the average value of the intensity of the filtered signal. Applications include wavelength-division multiplex optical communication systems.

摘要: An optical system includes a plurality of internal apertures, a plurality of external optical assemblies and a telescope assembly positioned between the plurality of internal apertures and the plurality of external optical assemblies. Each internal aperture is operable to receive a corresponding aperture-specific optical signal. Each external optical assembly corresponds to one of the internal apertures, and each external optical assembly is operable to direct the aperture-specific optical signal of the corresponding internal aperture in a corresponding external direction. The external direction for each external optical assembly is independently controllable and the telescope assembly defines a shared optical train arranged to direct the aperture-specific optical signals between each internal aperture and the corresponding external optical assembly.
