摘要: A spatial light modulator system includes a concentration layer including an array of optical concentrators, such that each concentrator concentrates a portion of an input light beam. A modulation layer includes an array of light modulators each in optical communication with one of the optical concentrators for modulating the portion of the input light beam. The light modulators are spaced apart from one another in the modulation layer to form gaps between adjacent ones of the light modulators. A coil of each light modulator can surround a Faraday element or core containing a Faraday material to control a magnetic state of a Faraday material responsive to control signals.

摘要: A magneto-optical waveguide device includes a waveguide coupled with a magneto-optical crystal material. The magneto-optical waveguide device includes a patterned nanostructure within the magneto-optical crystal material that includes an internal optical waveguide through the magneto-optical crystal material. The patterned nanostructure modifies the refractive index of the magneto-optical crystal material below diffraction limit. The patterned nanostructure creates metamaterial effective properties that optimize core-cladding inside the magneto-optical crystal material to create the optical waveguide.

摘要: The present invention is based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal where are inserted defects that originate two waveguides and one resonant cavity. An electromagnetic signal that crosses the device is confined in the interior of the defects, due to the photonic band gap associated with the periodic structure that surrounds it. Its main function is the control of the flux of an electromagnetic signal over a communication channel, blocking (state off) or allowing (state on) the passage of the signal. It also promotes the change in the propagation direction of an electromagnetic signal by an angle of 120 degrees, providing greater flexibility in the design of integrated optical systems. The working principle of the device is based on the excitation of dipole modes in its resonant cavity, accordingly to the application of an external DC magnetic field on the magneto-optical material that constitutes it. In states on and off the magneto-optical material is magnetized and nonmagnetized, respectively.

摘要: An optical logic device includes a distributed feedback laser configured to generate a first signal corresponding to distributed feedback laser output signal, the first signal being at a first wavelength. The device further includes a bandpass filter having a center frequency corresponding to the first wavelength. Additionally, the device can include an optical circulator having a first port coupled to a logic device input signal, a second port coupled to the first signal, and a third port coupled to the bandpass filter, wherein when the logic device input signal has a power above a predetermined threshold and there is a wavelength difference between the first wavelength and an input wavelength of the logic device input signal, a suppression of the first signal occurs.

摘要: Embodiments herein relate to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) with an on-chip optical isolator. The PIC may comprise a laser, a waveguide coupled with the laser, and a closed loop resonator coupled to the laser through the waveguide. A magneto-optical (MO) layer is over and in contact with the waveguide and the closed loop resonator. The closed loop resonator may comprise a first polarization rotator (PR) and a second PR. A light from the laser in transverse electric (TE) mode through the waveguide is rotated in the first PR to a light in transverse magnetic (TM) mode, and the light in TM mode is rotated in the second PR to light in TE mode. The isolator may further comprise a micro-heater over or along a side of the waveguide and separated from the closed loop resonator; and a feedback control loop connected to the closed loop resonator and the micro-heater.

摘要: A polarization scrambler based on Faraday magneto-optic effect is disclosed. A polarization control unit (2) is connected between a first rotator unit (1) and a second rotator unit (3). The first rotator unit (1) includes a first optical fiber circle (11) and a first wire coil (12). The second rotator unit (3) includes a second optical fiber circle (31) and a second wire coil (32). ACs with two frequencies f1 and f2 are respectively introduced into the first wire coil (12) and the second wire coil (32), such that the ACs in the two wire coils are changed to control the polarization angle in the two optical fiber circles to independently change within the range of +/−90°. The polarization control unit (2) can ensure motion trajectories of outputted light polarization pointsare in two orthogonal directions, thus achieving uniform polarization disturbance.
