An optical system includes a spectrometer and a multipass optical probe. The multipass optical probe includes a retroreflective element such that light propagating, in a first direction, from the probe to a sample under test and passing through or reflecting from the sample under test, is reflected back in a second direction opposite the first direction, so as to pass through the sample under test a total of at least two times.

Apparatus suitable for transforming a radiation beam so that it can exit with a predetermined alteration. The apparatus includes a first variably diffractive radiation element for transforming a characteristic of the radiation beam from an original state; a second radiation element juxtaposed to the first radiation element for transforming the same characteristic in a complementary way; and, means for physically deforming the first variably diffractive radiation element so that its diffracting pattern can change in a known way.
摘要:
A method for fine positioning a component through the use of fusible elements having two or more melting points so as to establish intermediate displacements between totally melted fusible elements and unmelted fusible elements. Because of the use of non-eutectic fusible materials, fine adjustments in the displacement may be achieved.

A photonic waveguide structure includes a first photonic waveguide layer located over a substrate. A sidewall cladding layer is located cladding a sidewall, but not covering a top, of the first photonic waveguide layer. A second photonic waveguide layer may be located upon the top of the sidewall cladding layer while contacting, but not straddling, the first photonic waveguide layer. The sidewall cladding layer protects the first photonic waveguide layer from environmental exposure, thus providing enhanced performance of a photonic waveguide structure. A planarizing sidewall cladding layer allows the fabrication of optical chips with multiple layers of lithographically defined devices.

A system and method are disclosed for an optical backplane in an electronic processor that comprises of a plurality of processing units. The backplane is comprising of a network of optical waveguides which can guide polarized light. Furthermore, the backplane has magneto optic routers for steering light at the vertexes of the network, and the backplane also has optical devices for operationally connecting the processing units to the network. The backplane network affords an optical interconnection amongst all of the processing units.

A method for constructing a thin-film infrared photodetector includes providing a thin film including ferroelectric polymer, and applying at least one electrically conductive coating to the polymer so that the coating is nonuniform in surface conductivity to thereby provide an area of higher surface resistance connected to an output region by an area of lower surface resistance.
