摘要:
A method for generating an optical single sideband signal comprising the steps of splitting an optical field into two parts and introducing a relative phase delay of +/−π/4 radians in each direction of transmission to one of the parts, intensity reflection-modulating each part with electrical signals having a relative phase delay of +/−π/2 radians and then recombining the reflection-modulated signals.

A hybrid integrated tuneable optical laser device, suitable for tuning to different wavelengths via a piezo micromotor (6) controlled optical filter (4) in an external cavity. Once the laser is fixed at a selected wavelength, no power is required to be applied to the wavelength tuning element to maintain the wavelength stability.
摘要:
An optoelectronic device has at least a first facet (S), a first waveguide (2) and a second waveguide (3). The waveguides are substantially coincident at the first facet (6), such that light travelling along the first waveguide (2) is reflected into the second waveguide (3) by the first facet (6). The first facet (6) is formed by precision cleaving. Preferably an etch feature is incorporated in the same mask level as that to define the waveguide core.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a photonic device comprises the steps of providing a core pattern of waveguide core material (1) on a base layer (3) and applying a cladding layer (2) over the core material 1 and the base layer (3). The height of the surface of the cladding layer (2) over the base layer (3) varies in dependence on the pattern of core material (1). The core pattern is designed with at least two reference regions, each having a width w that is selected to provide a peak of the cladding layer (2) with a predetermined height hl over each reference region. The core pattern is further designed such that a line between the peaks of the reference regions is higher than any intervening peaks of the cladding layer, whereby the peaks of the reference regions provide a vertical alignment reference.

摘要:
Planar waveguides are produced by using radiation to write path regions into a photosensitive layer. Originally, the photosensitive layer had the same refractive index as the confining regions, e.g., it consists of silica doped with oxides of Ge and B. Composite path regions are produced by depositing a glass soot onto a partial region. On sintering the soot melts to fill up the empty spaces and thereby create a composite layer.
