    摘要: Gray scale masks used to create optical elements are formed. Desired gray scale patterns may be created by varying a transmission across a mask, e.g., by varying the thickness of a light absorbing layer. Such variations in thickness may be created using multiple binary masks. Desired gray scale patterns may also be created on a computer using available software and then imaged onto film or a glass film plate. Direct contact or proximity printing is then used to transfer the true gray scale pattern onto a photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is then etched, thereby forming the desired pattern therein. All portions of the desired pattern are simultaneously formed in the photoresist layer. The etched photoresist layer is then used to photolithographically fabricate either the optical element itself or a master element to be used in injection molding or other replication techniques. The gray scale mask itself may be used repeatedly to generate photoresist layers.

    摘要: An optical coupler reduces differential mode delay in a fiber by reducing an amount of light incident on the fiber in a region in which the refractive index is not well controlled. This region of the fiber is typically in the center of the fiber The optical coupler directs light away from the this region and/or provides a high angle of incidence to any light on this region. A diffuser may be used to reduce sensitivity of the coupler to any fluctutations in the output of the light source. The optical coupler does not need to be offset from the center of the multi-mode coupler. A phase function of an azimuthal mode of the fiber may be imposed on the light beam so that a substantial null on axis is maintained even after propogation of the light beam beyond the depth of focus of the coupler. A diffractive element generating a beam which propogates in a spiral fashion along an axis allows the shape of the beam to be maintained for longer than a depth of focus of the diffractive element.

    摘要: Numerous features may be incorporated into a wavelength locker to reduce the noise inherent therein. These features may be used in any combination thereof. These features include avoiding the use of reflectors, using a diffractive splitter which outputs evanescent beams for diffractive orders greater than one, using anti-reflective coatings, using an opaque material with through holes for the light, and designing the wavelength locker to be used at a tilt.
