    摘要: Semi-integrated external cavity diode laser (ECDL) designs including integrated structures comprising a gain section, modulator section, and optional phase control section. Each integrated structure includes a waveguide that passes through each of the sections, with the waveguide further including an in-waveguide mirror. The in-waveguide mirror defines one end of an “effective” laser cavity, with the other end defined by a reflective element disposed generally opposite a rear facet of the integrated structure, forming an external cavity therebetween. The in-waveguide mirror is formed by using a focused ion beam (FIB) cut through the waveguide, or by etching one or more trenches through the waveguide and backfilling the trenches using a re-grown crystal or amorphous material deposition process. A tunable filter is disposed in the external cavity to effectuate tuning of the laser. The modulation section of the integrated structure enables high-speed modulation of an optical signal at a selected communication channel without requiring an external modulator.

    摘要: A wavelength meter, an associated method, and system are generally described. In one example, an apparatus includes a photodiode to receive an optical signal and to generate a photocurrent upon receiving the optical signal, the photodiode having an absorption edge that is substantially aligned with a band of wavelengths, wherein the absorption edge shifts toward longer wavelengths when a reverse bias is applied to the photodiode, and control electronics coupled with the photodiode to apply at least a first reverse bias and a second reverse bias to the photodiode, wherein a ratio of a first measurement of the photocurrent at the first reverse bias and a second measurement of the photocurrent at the second reverse bias provides information about the wavelength of the optical signal.

    摘要: A method of treating a spinal column shape deformation includes fixing at least two fixation screw assemblies to respective vertebrae, sliding a rod between the arm extensions on each of the fixation screw assemblies, swinging the channels of the screw assemblies relative to the fixation screws so that the channels become less inclined to the axes of the fixation screws, and so that the rod is located generally posteriorly of the spinal column, locking the channel against swinging relative to the screw, rotating the rod about its axis relative to at least one of the channels, and locking the rod against movement relative to the channel.
