摘要： A miniature dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) is disclosed. A plurality of multi-window wavelength multiplexers (MWDM) are cascaded and optically coupled to form a tree, and each of the MWMDMs forming the tree comprises a microbend coupler. The forming of the MWDM tree is characterized by the absence of the bending of optical fibers external to the microbend couplers. A finished DWDM assembly measures less than 50 mm in width.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compensating an optical filter is disclosed. The device substantially maintains the selected center wavelength in the optical filter across a range of operating temperatures. In an embodiment of the invention an optical filter is disclosed for filtering a selected channel among a plurality of multiplexed channels of an optical communication. The optical filter includes an optical fiber and an elongate housing. The optical fiber has a first side and a second side and a filter portion intermediate the first side and the second side, and the optical fiber for transmitting the multiplexed optical communication and the filter portion for filtering the selected channel. The elongate housing includes exposed end portions through which the optical fiber extends. The optical fiber is affixed at each exposed end portion. The exposed end portions exhibit between them a negative coefficient of thermal expansion sufficient to generate strains on the filter to substantially stabilize a filtered wavelength to substantially correspond with the selected channel during temperature variations. In an alternate embodiment of the invention the elongate housing is defined about a longitudinal axis and including a first anchor pad and a second anchor pad to which the filter portion is affixed. At least one of the anchor pads is at least initially movable in a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis to vary a strain on the filter portion to tune a center wavelength of the selected channel. In another embodiment of the invention an optical filter for filtering an optical signal is disclosed. In still another embodiment of the invention a method for compensating an optical filter is disclosed.

摘要： A low aspect ratio concentrator photovoltaic module has blazed grating surfaces on the light incident and/or reflective light planes that direct optimal wavelengths of light energy to a photo receptor enabling a total internal reflection condition to be achieved with a significantly smaller apex angle. Apex angles can be achieved that are 10° or less depending on the blazed grating angle and groove density, thereby providing a low aspect ratio prism that achieves a dramatic savings in silicon; using only 15 to 20 per cent of the silicon used in a conventional solar module without loss of photovoltaic efficiency. This achieves a significant reduction in the overall material and weight of the prism, making possible a low cost, lightweight, and highly efficient PV module suitable for widespread implementation.
