    摘要: An optical filter that includes a resonator cavity comprised of a saturable absorber material is provided. An input signal waveguide, a non-resonant wavelengths output waveguide, and a resonant wavelength output waveguide are coupled to the cavity. A refractive index of the saturable absorber material is altered so that a resonant wavelength output is directed down the resonant wavelength output waveguide and non-resonant wavelengths are directed down the non-resonant wavelengths output waveguide.

    摘要: An optical wavelength converter converts an optical input signal having a first wavelength into an optical output signal having a second wavelength. The wavelength converter includes a saturable absorber switch having a control beam waveguide and an input waveguide. The converter further includes a first input coupled to the control beam waveguide and adapted to receive the optical input signal, and a second input coupled to the input waveguide and adapted to receive a second optical signal having the second wavelength from an optical source.

    摘要: An optical switch includes a saturable absorber. Coupled to the saturable absorber is an input waveguide, an output waveguide, and a control beam waveguide. In the absence of light input to the control beam waveguide, the saturable absorber prevents an input signal on the input waveguide from passing through and being output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “off” state. In the presence of light input to the control beam waveguide and incident of the saturable absorber, the saturable absorber allows the input signal to pass through and be output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “on” state.

    摘要: A Fabry-Perot optical switch includes a saturable absorber surrounded by a pair of mirrors. Coupled to the saturable absorber is an input waveguide, an output waveguide, and a control beam waveguide. In the absence of light input to the control beam waveguide, the saturable absorber prevents an input signal on the input waveguide from passing through and being output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “off” state. In the presence of light input to the control beam waveguide and incident on the saturable absorber, the saturable absorber allows the input signal to pass through and be output on the output waveguide, or be reflected and output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “on” state.

    摘要: A system and method for distinguishing a first light source from other light sources utilizes an image receiver that can selectively engage and disengage a filter. The filter can be configured to block bands of light corresponding to the light being emitted by either the first source or the other sources. By alternately engaging and disengaging the filter from the image receiver, the first light source may be distinguished from other light sources.
