摘要： Interleavers, based on a Michelson interferometer with a Gires-Tournois (GT) etalon in each arm, are becoming popular in the filtering of light in the fiber optics telecommunications industry. As the channel spacing becomes closer together, e.g. 50 GHz or 25 GHz, dispersion compensation becomes an important factor in the choice and design of a system. The present invention solves the problem of increased chromatic dispersion by utilizing multi-cavity Gires-Tournois (MCGT) etalons, wherein the dispersion from one MCGT is used to compensate or cancel the dispersion from the other MCGT. In an optimum design for a dual cavity GT etalon, the dispersion profile of the first MCGT will have a similar amplitude and frequency as the dispersion profile of the second MCGT, only shifted by half the period so that the positive slopes of one profile are aligned with the negative slopes of the other profile.

摘要： The present invention relates to bi-directional circulators based on interleaver technology, e.g. birefringent crystal interleaver technology, that enables signals containing even number ITU channels to travel in one direction through the device, while signals containing odd number ITU channels travel in the opposite direction. Open and closed three and four port devices are disclosed, as well as several useful implementations of the three port device in combination with other optical components, which result in hybrid uni-directional and bi-directional devices.

摘要： Bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolators provide the ability to pass a first set of optical signals (e.g., ITU even channels) from a first port to a second port, while preventing a second set of optical signals from passing thereto. The bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolators also pass the second set of optical signals (e.g., ITU odd channels) from the second port to the first port, while preventing the first set of optical signals from passing thereto. Thus, the bi-directional wavelength interleaving optical isolator can provide bi-directional communications by passing a first set of signals in a first direction and a second set of signals in a second direction.

摘要： Interleaver/deinterleaver apparatuses for combining/separating optical channels are described. An interleaver/deinterleaver apparatus is described as folded when an optical signal is directed through a single crystal multiple times. Double-pass refers to the optical signal following a (folded) path through the apparatus twice. When operating as an deinterleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver separates an optical signal (e.g., WDM signal) into subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels). In one embodiment, deinterleaving optical signals separates an optical signal into even and odd International Telecommunications Union (ITU) channels. When operating as an interleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver mixes subsets of optical signals (e.g., channels) into a multiplexed (e.g., WDM) optical signal. The interleaver/deinterleaver apparatus can be used to increase the bandwidth of an optical network. For example, the interleaver/deinterleaver can be used to interface components designed for a first channel spacing (e.g., 100 GHz) to components designed for a second channel spacing (e.g., 200 GHz). In one embodiment, interleaveing combines even and odd ITU channels into a single optical signal.

摘要： Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a vertical cavity, surface-emitting laser. The method includes growing a distributed Bragg reflector having at least 10 layers of alternating composition on a gallium arsenide substrate. The growth surface of the substrate is tilted by an angle of 1.degree.-7.degree. from the orientation of a (100) surface toward the orientation of a (111)A surface. This results in improved reflectivity of the DBR.

摘要： A method and device is disclosed for dispersion compensation of an optical signal having periodic dispersion within a multi-channels system. For example interleaved optical channels often exhibit dispersion having a characteristic that is repeated in adjacent channels. By providing a periodic device that allows for polarization dependent routing of an interleaved signal to allow for multiple passes of said signal through a multi-cavity GT etalon, having a free-spectral range that corresponds to the channel spacing, the dispersion in the interleaved signal can be lessened and practically obviated or balanced to a desired level. This invention provides a device and method to achieve that end.
