    摘要: An optical interleaver for use in a range of telecommunications applications including optical multiplexers/demultiplexers and optical routers. The optical device includes an optical processing loop which allows multi-stage performance characteristics to be achieved with a single physical filtration stage. Optical processing on the first leg and second legs of the loop is asymmetrical thereby improving the integrity of the optical signals by effecting complementary chromatic dispersion on the first and second legs. A fundamental filter cell within the interleaver filters optical signals propagating on each of the two legs of the optical loop which intersects the fundamental filter cell.

    摘要: The present invention is a hybrid cell that utilizes a PBS pair in conjunction with a wedge tuner and a crystal to achieve a more stable interleaver. A first PBS splits an incoming optical signal into two orthogonally polarized beams which follow different optical paths through the cell. The length of the wedge tuner and crystal are selected such that the periodicity of the cell is approximately inversely proportional to the free spectral range at a target frequency. The length of the wedge tuner and crystal are also selected such that there is no change in an optical path difference between the two optical paths with respect to a change in temperature over an operating temperature range.

    摘要: The present invention provides low cost methods and apparatuses for filtering out polarized light reflections in a free-space optical isolator. In one embodiment, a laser directs a non-polarized optical signal through a series of polarizers and rotators in order to isolate an optical signal having a specific polarization. The present invention also includes a quarter-wave plate placed in series with the rotators and polarizers, to help filter away reflections occurring while the signal passes through free space. The inclusion of the quarter-wave plate helps filter away a greater amount of near-end reflections from going back to the laser, even with the use of low cost polarizers. Accordingly, the present invention can polarize an optical signal more efficiently than with prior methods, and at a much lower cost.

    摘要: A package for maintaining alignment of components includes a frame and a beam with the beam attached to the frame and one end of the beam. One or more components are mounted to the beam. The frame and a portion of the beam are separated from each other by a channel which allows portions of the beam to flex substantially independently of the frame when a force is applied to the frame. Thus, the effects resulting from forces applied to the frame are not experienced by the beam, or are at least attenuated, so that the alignment of the components mounted on the beam is substantially preserved.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for passing a focused laser beam through a thin ferrofluid cell creates a spatial distribution in the refractive index of the ferrofluid and generates a diffraction ring patterns. Using a pair of perpendicularly placed ferrofluid cells, two sets of diffraction ring patterns can be produced on two viewing screens. Deformations in the diffraction patterns due to an acceleration can be viewed on the screens, providing a ferrofluid accelerometer. By applying an electric or a magnetic field on a thin ferrofluid sample, the light passing through the sample can be modulated by the field, providing a light modulator. The apparatus and method has applications for detecting acceleration information within a gyroscope and for use in toys.
