    摘要: A low white frequency noise tunable semiconductor laser source is presented. The laser source includes a single-mode semiconductor laser assembly which generates a laser beam having a tunable frequency over a spectral range of interest. An optical filter is provided in the path of the laser beam. The optical filter has multiple spectral features distributed over the entire spectral range of interest. Each spectral feature has a narrow spectral range. A locking mechanism is further provided and is controllable for locking a spectral alignment between the frequency of the laser beam and any selected one of the spectral features of the optical filter.

    摘要: A method is provided for measuring a factor, called herein the single-port rejection ratio (SPRR), characterizing a balanced detection device. The SPRR is representative of the ratio of the weak differential output current measured under illumination of a single-port of the balanced detection device to the strong measurable differential output current obtained under dual-port illumination. An apparatus for measuring the SPRR is also provided.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a complex multi-channel optical grating using a phase mask is presented. A plurality of sub-gratings is designed, each having an individual spectral response designed to produce one of the channels of the multi-channel grating. The target profile of the grating is determined based on the combination of the index profiles of the individual sub-gratings, the target index profile defining a target spectral response of the multi-channel grating. A modified index profile having a smooth apodization profile but providing the same spectral response as the target index profile, at least within a spectral region of interest, is determined and encoded into the phase mask. The phase mask is then used to photoinduce the grating in a photosensitive medium.

    摘要: An optical modulator circuit includes first and second electrodes, first and second p-n junction segments (PNJSs), and first and second optical waveguides. The first PNJS includes a first modulating p-n junction (MPNJ) in series with a first non-modulating device (NMD) that are connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively, where the first NMD includes a first substantially larger capacitance than the first MPNJ. The second PNJS includes a second NMD in series with a second MPNJ that are connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively, where the second NMD includes a second substantially larger capacitance than the second MPNJ. The first and second optical waveguides superimpose the first and second MPNJs, respectively, where the first and second MPNJs are configured to modulate a refractive index of the first and second optical waveguides, respectively, based on the substantially larger capacitance of the first NMD and the second NMD.
