    摘要: A wavelength selective optical fiber coupler having various applications in the field of optical communications is disclosed. The coupler is composed of dissimilar waveguides in close proximity. A light induced, permanent index of refraction grating is recorded in the coupler waist The grating filters and transfers energy within a particular range of wavelengths from a first waveguide to a second waveguide. Transversely asymmetric gratings provide an efficient means of energy transfer. The coupler can be used to combine or multiplex a plurality of lasers operating at slightly different wavelengths into a single fiber. Other embodiments such as a dispersion compensator and gain flattening filter are disclosed.

    摘要: A polymer material is exposed to radiation of a type that changes some aspect of the polymer's radiation passing properties. The radiation that caused the property change is then contained by the material. The property change can be self-focusing or self-trapping light can be used. In that case, the same light that causes the photopolymerization is contained by the change in index of refraction that is caused by the polymerization.

    摘要: New methods are presented for multiplexing volume holograms in electrooptic materials. Multiple volume holograms can be superimposed in a medium and be individually addressed by tuning the underlying refractive index of the medium or the crystal parameters, while keeping the external parameters (wavelength, angles) fixed. According to the presented methods, the refractive index and crystal parameters of the material can be varied via the electrooptic, elastooptic or piezoelectric effects, alone or in combination with each other, by tuning the value of an applied electric field, or by tuning an applied mechanical stress, or by changing the material temperature. Volume holograms that have been multiplexed by either wavelength or angle or electric field or mechanical stress or temperature can be individually addressed by any one of the same five parameters. Additionally, selective, updatable fixing and erasing of volume holograms in photorefractive media is described. Each holographic page may be fixed individually and overwritten without destroying the other fixed pages. Further, Second Harmonic Generation and Parametric Amplification by optically induced periodic poling in ferroelectric photorefractive materials is described.
