    摘要: A multiport free-space wavelength division multiplexing (“WDM”) device is capable of handling multiple optical signals carried in multiple wavelengths (“λn”) using a prism. The WDM device includes an input collimator, prism, and optical filter. The input collimator receives an optical beam containing multiple wavelengths λn traveling through free-space. The prism uses at least two (2) surfaces to generate a first optical beam which travels in opposite direction of the optical beam. The optical filter is situated at a predefined angle with respect to the interface surface of the prism for facilitating frequency separation as well as extracts a first wavelength (“λ1”) from λn to form a first light signal with λ1 and form a second optical beam with the remaining wavelengths of λn. A collimator is used to guide the first light signal to a port.

    摘要: Conventionally, there has been a problem that a structure in which optical signals outputting from a substrate facet in a PLC are optically coupled to a different bulk type optical device is so complicated that its assembly is laborious. There also has been a problem that a structure in which an output facet of a PLC is polished with an angle results in an increase in coupling loss in free space optics. With a lens bonded to an angled facet of a PLC, an optical circuit of the present invention achieves an optical coupling, with low loss, to a bulk-type optical device or another PLC with a simple structure. Moreover, a lens part and an optical fiber part are respectively bonded to different core apertures exposed on a single angled facet. Thereby, optical signals can be inputted to and outputted from the PLC through the single facet.

    摘要: Methods of attaching an optical line to a phase modulator in a fiber optic gyroscope. The methods include positioning at least one end of the optical line relative to a side of the phase modulator. The end of the optical line may have a first non-perpendicular angle and the side of the phase modulator may have a second non-perpendicular angle. The end of the optical line may be attached to the side of the phase modulator with the end of the optical line being non-parallel to the side of the phase modulator. The optical line may be an optical coil or a light path.

    摘要: In a lens system, such as for use in optical rotary joints, obliquely tilted cavities are inserted in a light path between light-waveguides and lenses to be coupled thereto in order to compensate lateral displacements between the light waveguides and the lenses. The cavities are filled with an optical medium having a predetermined refractive index in order to achieve a parallel displacement of a light-ray path, so that the ray path passes centrally through the lenses.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing multiple collimated light beams from optical fibers and the method for producing such beams. The apparatus includes first and second optical fibers that carry light of first and second wavelengths, respectively, a fixture that maintains the fibers in a fixed relationship to one another, and a collimating lens. Light from each of the first and second optical fibers diverges from a face of the fixture. The collimating lens produces first and second collimated light beams that are displaced relative to one another from the light leaving the face. The face of the fixture is positioned to correct for chromatic aberration in the lens.
