    摘要： An optical modulator is provided to control the intensity of a transmitted or reflected light. In a transmission mode, a separator splits arbitrarily polarized light into two polarization rays and one is made to travel a separate path from the other. A recombiner causes the two rays to recombine at an output unless an electro-optic phase retarder changes the polarization of the two rays, in which case, both of them miss the output by an amount which is a function of the voltage on the retarder. A normally-off version with low polarization mode dispersion is obtained by changing the orientation of the recombiner. A normally-on version with low polarization mode dispersion is obtained with a passive polarization direction rotator. Similar results can be obtained in a reflection mode where the input and output are on the same side of the modulator. Versions using a GRIN lens are particularly suited to modulation of light out of and back into fiber-optic cables. The device can be operated as a variable optical attenuator, an optical switch, or a high speed modulator and is insensitive to polarization of the input light. A preferred material for the phase retarder is a hot-pressed ceramic lead lanthanum zirconate titanate composition.

    摘要： The invention provides a fiber-optic 2×2 switch using a dual-fiber 50:50 input coupler and a dual-fiber 50:50 output coupler. One fiber from each coupler makes contact to an inner transparent electrode on a planar layer of electro-optic material and the other fibers make contact to an outer transparent electrode on the layer. The electro-optic layer has its other side coated with a transparent electrode which is placed in optical contact with one end of a GRIN lens. The fibers are arranged so that the inner fibers are at conjugate points and the outer fibers also at conjugate points of the lens. The other end of the lens is coated with a mirror. Applying a voltage between either the inner or outer electrode changes the optical path length for the light from and to the fibers traveling through the material under the selected electrode causing the light from the two input fibers to be switched between the two output fibers. 2×N switches can be constructed by concatenating 2×2 switches. The switch can also be used as a modulator. A convenient fiber alignment method is described.

    摘要： There is provided a device for use with fiber-optic cables for polarization insensitive amplitude modulation of light comprising a planar electro-optic layer with a reflective conductive mirror electrode on one side and a pair of transparent conductive electrodes on the other. The transparent conductive electrodes have a small separation along a straight line. A GRIN lens has one end in optical contact with the transparent conductive electrodes with its axis located over the line separating the electrodes. An input optical fiber and an output optical fiber are placed in optical contact with the other end of the lens at points which are symmetrically displaced from the axis of the lens. Light coming from input fiber is collimated by the GRIN lens and directed to the transparent electrodes, through the electro-optic layer and to the mirror from which it is reflected and refocused by the GRIN lens onto the output fiber. Applying a voltage between any of the transparent electrodes and the reflecting electrode changes the optical path length for half the beam so that when it is refocused on the output fiber, the two halves interfere constructively of destructively, depending on the change in path length. In one version, the electro-optic layer is a PLZT ceramic plate, while in others, it is a thick or thin film. In still other versions, two or more electro-optic layers are used in series in order to reduce the voltage required for the same optical path length change. A means to eliminate residual sensitivity to polarization sensitivity is described.

    摘要： A modulator formed with a solid state electro-optic material having a pixellated structure interconnected to a circuit on a semiconductor substrate. Silicon CMOS integrated circuit that can include random access memories (RAMs) are used as a substrate and interfaced to solid state electro-optic materials coated thereon. In particular, the electro-optic modulators are controlled by RAM cells to produce a modulation of reflected light. SRAMs can be used with connection to the SRAM cell flip-flop. DRAMs can be used with the modulator replacing the DRAM storage capacitor. The SLM thus formed can be connected to a digital computer and controlled as if were a being written to as a memory, but other IC structures can also be used. In order to enhance the modulation effects, the electro-optic material is used as the spacer for a Fabry-Perot etalon structure that is also deposited on the semiconductor substrate. PLZT is a suitable electro-optic material.

    摘要： A solid state device used to modulate the intensity of reflected or transmitted light by modulating with an external voltage the optical thickness of a thin film ferroelectric placed in an etalon cavity is disclosed. The device is constructed by selecting a generally planar supporting substrate, preferably silicon or sapphire in order to be compatible with silicon integrated circuits. A dielectric stack consisting of alternating layers of different index of refraction materials, also specifically selected to be compatible with later growth of the thin film ferroelectric, is deposited thereon to form a partially reflective and partially transmitting mirror, followed by a transparent electrically conductive layer. The thin film ferroelectric is deposited on the conductive layer, followed by a second transparent conductive layer and a second dielectric stack. Leads are connected to the conductive layers and in turn to a voltage generator. In one version of the invention, the functions of both the second (top) electrically conductive layer and dielectric stack are fulfilled by using a semi-transparent conducting film. In another version, the functions of both the first (bottom) electrically conductive layer and dielectric stack are also fulfilled by using a, preferably, highly reflective conducting film.
