    摘要: Optical filters comprising one or more optically-coupled Fabry-Perot resonators are disclosed. In some embodiments, the one or more optically coupled Fabry-Perot resonators include a graded index fiber. In some embodiments, the one or more optically coupled Fabry-Perot resonators are coupled end-to-end, whereas in other embodiments the one or more optically coupled Fabry-Perot resonators are side-coupled through evanescence. One or more implementations of an optical filter allow a spectral response of an input light beam to be controlled, through various approaches, e.g., by exposing a component fiber to ultra-violet radiation.

    摘要: An optical apparatus comprises a planar optical waveguide having at least two reflectors. The planar optical waveguide substantially confines in at least one transverse spatial dimension optical signals propagating therein, and the reflectors define an optical resonator that supports at least one resonant optical cavity mode. At least one of the reflectors comprises a set of diffractive elements arranged: so that an optical signal in one of the resonant optical cavity modes is successively incident on the diffractive elements; so as to exhibit a positional variation in amplitude, optical separation, or spatial phase; and so as to apply a transfer function to the optical signal successively incident on the diffractive elements. The transfer function is determined at least in part by said positional variation in amplitude, optical separation, or spatial phase exhibited by the diffractive elements.

    摘要: An optical fiber structure having resonant characteristics useful for coupling to an optical transmission line for removing selected wavelengths of light energy includes a light guiding structure, such as an optical fiber waveguide, which conditionally operates as a resonant cavity responsive to resonance of at least one other resonant cavity. In one embodiment, an extrinsically defined or adscititious reflectance is formed in the waveguide segment by laterally coupling an etalon cavity to the waveguide segment. In another embodiment, the waveguide segment is coupled to one or more resonant loops to form a conditional resonant loop cavity which includes the other loops. The resonant wavelength spacing for the conditional cavity and its cooperating resonant cavity are made different from one another with only one wavelength coresonantly supported in both cavities. In operation, the structure is coupled to a multi-channel optical transmission line for selectively removing a portion of the energy of a desired channel by resonating the desired wavelength in both the conditional cavity and its cooperating resonant cavity. Additionally, an active gain material can be provided in the conditional cavity and pumped by a pumping source to increase the gain of the desired wavelength.
