    摘要: The invention relates to an optical fiber and a fiber termination which provide an output of laser light propagating through the fiber in a required direction while focusing it into a small spot. In one embodiment of the invention the termination includes a tapered fiber rod with an angled ball formed at the end of the rod. A corresponding method of manufacturing of the termination is provided. In another embodiment the termination includes a fiber rod having an angled end and a GRIN lens disposed so as to receive light reflected from the angled end, the lens being an integral part of the termination. In other embodiments the lens is replaced with a cylindrical or tapered multimode stub which provide similar function.

    摘要: Described herein is a system and method for extending the performance of a simple lens system with curvature of field to image a set of optical light guide sources extended over a wide field of view. Embodiments are applicable to systems using integrated optical light guides as the sources for imaging. Further, the systems and methods allow for a wide field of view using simple aspheric lenses with resulting savings in complexity, size, mass, and cost.

    摘要: A wavelength tunable filter device has at least two optical fibers through which an optical signal is input or output; a wavelength selective element which the optical signal is input to and output from through a lens and which selects a wavelength; a mounting jig to which the wavelength selective element is fixedly secured; a rotating mechanism, having an ultrasonic motor and an encoder, for rotating the wavelength selective element; and a motor controller for controlling the ultrasonic motor for driving, wherein the mounting jig is rigidly mounted directly to a rotating shaft of the ultrasonic motor, and the amount of power that does not exceed the driving power necessary to cause the ultrasonic motor to start rotating from a stopped condition is intermittently applied to the motor controller.

    摘要: A fiber optic chip having one or more fiber-retaining channels and a respective number of lenslets disposed in registry with the channels is provided. The fiber optic chip includes a substrate having a first surface and an etch stop layer disposed proximate the first surface of the substrate. A fiber retaining channel is disposed within the substrate. The fiber channel has an end disposed proximate the first surface of the substrate and has a longitudinal axis extending along the channel. A lenslet is disposed on the etch stop layer and has an optical axis substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the channel. In addition, a process is provided for creating a fiber optic chip. The process utilizes the channels as an exposure mask to mark the locations of the lenslets relative to the channels to ensure that the lenslets are accurately registered relative to the respective channels.
