摘要:
A multichannel optical amplifier having an adjustable gain set point is controlled to permit substantially constant gain tilt control during a gain set-point change so that the channel powers are maintained during system modification. To this end the amplifier comprises an erbium doped fibre (EDF) loop and associated pump amplifier for amplifying an optical signal comprising channels of different wavelengths, a variable optical attenuator (VOA) for controlling the gain of the amplifier by applying a loss profile that varies with wavelength so that the different channels are amplified in accordance with a required gain tilt, preferably a zero gain tilt, and a PI controller for applying a gain tilt adaptation profile to compensate for an inherent gain tilt to produce the required gain tilt. Furthermore the PI controller is arranged to change the gain tilt adaptation profile in response to a change in the gain set point to allow for the different gain characteristics of the amplifier at different gain set points.
摘要:
An optical navigation device may include an image sensor with an imaging surface, a laser, and an optical waveguide layer having an exposed user surface and a total internal reflection (TIR) surface on the underside of the exposed user surface. The waveguide layer, the laser, and the image sensor may be together arranged to direct radiation emitted by the laser onto the imaging surface at least partly by total internal reflection by the TIR surface.

An optical navigation device for use with mobile telephones and the like is disclosed, which has a reduced height as compared with current designs. The navigation device comprises a laser such as a VCSEL laser, an exposed user surface and two other surfaces that provide for total internal reflection of the incident laser beam. The surfaces are constructed with shallower than normal angles, preserving the basic functionality of the device while reducing the height.

A camera module lens cap is provided to protect a camera module in a mobile device where the camera module is exposed. The camera module lens cap includes an optically transparent member for positioning adjacent a camera lens, and a housing for carrying the optically transparent member. The housing includes an overhanging lip for engaging a base of the camera module.
