    Abstract: A polarisation control device having a polarisation converter in a first section of optical waveguide with a gradually varying asymmetrical cross-sectional (transverse) profile and an active phase shifter in a second section of optical waveguide whose birefringence is adjustable by a relative phase controller. The polarisation converter converts an orthogonal fundamental mode (TE or TM) into a hybridised signal present in the active phase shifter. The first and second sections of waveguide are joined to one another to form a single continuous waveguide, which can significantly reduce interfacial reflections. The invention teaches the introduction of a selectable degree of asymmetry to a section of planar optical waveguide after growth of that waveguide to form the polarisation converter. This feature enables the use of lower efficiency mode convertors to give far greater control over fabrication tolerances, leading to increased yield.

The material flows through a conduit of which a section (14) is heated or cooled. One temperature sensor (6) is provided upstream of this section and at least another temperature sensor (7, 8) is provided downstream of it. These temperature sensors are adapted to measure the temperature of material in the non-gaseous phase directly. The section is heated or cooled for a first period of time and then neither heated nor cooled for a second period. A third temperature sensor (10) is provided in good thermal contact with the heated or cooled section - this temperature sensor. The temperature sensors measure the temperature of the non-gaseous phase of the material flowing the conduit in at least the second period of time.

    Abstract: Various uses of visible light interference patterns are provided. Suitable interference patterns are those formed by diffraction from patterns of apertures. Typical uses disclosed herein relate to spatial metrology, such as a translational and/or angular position determination system. Further uses include the analysis of properties of the light itself (such as the determination of the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation). Still further uses include the analysis of one or more properties (e.g. refractive index) of the matter through which the light passes. Part of the interference pattern is captured at a pixellated detector, such as a CCD chip, and the captured pattern compared with a calculated pattern. Very precise measurements of the spacing between maxima is possible, thus allowing very precise measurements of position of the detector in the interference pattern.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an improved method of manufacturing optical devices (115a; 115b). A requirement for photonic Integrated Circuits is the realization of low-loss optical waveguides. Optical absorption by Fundamental Edge Absorption (FEA) can be reduced by using Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) to widen the band-gap of passive waveguides. However, impurities and/or and structural defects responsible for (QWI) are all usually charged and have free electrons or holes associated with them, giving rise to optical absorption by Free-Carrier Absorption (FCA). Accordingly, the invention provides a method of manufacturing an optical device (115a; 115b), a device body portion (5a; 5b) from which the device (115a; l15b) is to be made including a Quantum Well (QW) structure (25a; 25b). )the method including the steps of: intermixing at least part of the Quantum well (QW) structure (25a; 25b); and passivating at least some dopants and/or point defects within at least a portion of the device body portion (5a; 5b). By "passivating" is meant neutralizing the electronic activity of the dopants.
