    摘要: A laser system and method for self-injection locking. The system includes a laser having a laser output at a frequency ωo. An optical port provides a portion of the laser output at the port and a modulator, coupled to the port, is driven by a RF signal at a frequency ωm generates two sidebands at ωo±ωm. A filter passes one of the two sidebands; and an optical path couples an output of the filter to the laser for injection locking.

    摘要: The invention is an optical labeling/identification system that comprises an optical interrogator, optical label and a programmer. The optical label stores and returns to the interrogator different parts of a wavelength code word. The programmer programs the optical labels with a programming light beam to change the wavelength response of the labels. Interrogation and programming of the labels can be accomplished from a stand off distance without physical contact between the label and the interrogator/programmer. The label may be applied to uneven, wrinkled or discontinuous surfaces.

    摘要: The present invention describes a microresonator that can be used as a 1:f variable coupler in a unit cell. It is described how a cascade of unit cells can be used to form a tunable, higher-order RF-filter with reconfigurable passbands. The disclosed filter structure can be utilized for the narrowband channelization of RF signals that have been modulated onto optical carriers. It is also disclosed how to utilize add/drop capabilities of the contemplated microdisks to confer connectivity and cascading in two dimensions. The present invention can conveniently provide a wavelength division multiplexing router, where an array of unit cells as provided herein can form a programmable optical switching matrix, through electronic programming of filter parameters.
