摘要： A multiplexing/demultiplexing optical circuit provides a demultiplexed output spectrum of channels having a flat amplitude response without sacrificing optical power. A phased array implementation and a diffraction grating implementation both rely on a first dispersion of the beam to be demultiplexed and subsequent division of the wavelengths into channels. Local inversion is induced within each channel of the dispersed wavelengths about a channel central wavelength. After the wavelengths are spatially inverted, they are once again provided to a dispersion element or array effectively nullifying the dispersion effects across the channel band to provide output channels having a substantially “flat-tops”, while providing good channel separation through global dispersion of all the wavelengths.

摘要： A useful device is provided for coupling or splitting optical signals from one port to another. The symmetry of a lens is utilized in a manner whereby two linear arrays of optical ports are disposed adjacent the optical axis of the lens equidistant from the optical axis of the lens. An at least partially reflecting optical element is disposed at a collimating end of the lens. Signals launched into one array of ports reflects back to the second array of ports at the same end. In another embodiment of the invention utilizing these two linear arrays of waveguides, two matched lenses having an element disposed between are used as a coupler/splitter. In this arrangement ports are positioned on opposite sides of the optical axis equidistant from it.

摘要： The optical device provides dispersion adjustment or compensation using resonant coupling between a first waveguide and a second waveguide which has a variable thickness and a significantly different index of refraction. The two waveguides are optically coupled about a lateral coupling surface, and as light propagates down the waveguide, it passes from one waveguide to the other at a predetermined position along the propagation axis depending on the thickness of the second waveguide. Mode converters are used at the input and output of the device to provide for more efficient operation. The first waveguide can be made of silica and the second waveguide of silicon, thus providing a differential in the index of refraction of about 2. For dispersion compensation, in which shorter wavelengths need to be retarded with respect to longer wavelengths, the profile of the thickness of the second waveguide is such that shorter wavelengths spend more time in the silicon than do longer wavelengths. The shorter wavelength components are thus slowed down more than the longer wavelength components in the optical communications signal.

摘要： The present invention relates to an optical filter comprising an integrated wavelength dispersive element having an input for providing temperature compensation, particularly for providing passive temperature compensation in an arrayed waveguide grating. The present invention has found that by providing an arrayed waveguide grating having a thermally responsive pivotal input structure for changing an angle of a collimated input signal launched into a focusing lens, the input point can be selected in response to changing temperature in order to compensate for thermal drift of the center wavelength. Further, the present invention has found that by providing a reflective lens assembly for focusing an input signal at a selected input point of the input planar waveguide, alignment and tuning of an input and assembly can be improved and simplified. As an additional advantage, variable coupling parameters can be incorporated into a reflective coupling including input position, waveguide taper and planar waveguide length increment to provide relatively simple tuning in an integrated device.

摘要： This invention relates to elements such as birefringent crystals, which are used to separate a non-collimated input beam into two orthogonally polarized sub-beams or to combine two orthogonally polarized beams into a single beam. The optical device lessens or obviates the optical path length difference encountered in prior art devices and provides a polarization beam splitter/combiner that has substantially same optical path lengths for two split or combined beams propagating therethrough. Alternatively, the device is designed to provide a selected path length difference to compensate for polarization mode dispersion in other optical devices. The polarization beam splitter/combiner in accordance with the invention has a first uniaxial crystal having an o-ray path and an e-ray path and having the first port disposed at an end face thereof; a second uniaxial crystal having an o-ray path and an e-ray path, the e-ray path of the second uniaxial crystal being optically coupled with the o-ray path of the first uniaxial crystal and the o-ray path of the second uniaxial crystal being optically coupled with the e-ray path of the first uniaxial crystal. Alternatively, the axis of the second crystal is aligned in such a manner that the o-ray path is retarded by an extraordinary index of refraction of the crystal and the e-ray path is retarded by an ordinary index of refraction to equalize the optical path lengths.

摘要： The present invention relates to an arrayed waveguide grating having a reflective input that permits variable coupling to adjust the center wavelength. The present invention has found that by providing an arrayed waveguide grating having one or more precisely positioned input waveguides coupled through a reflective lens assembly, for providing a lateral offset to a signal propagating from the input waveguide to the planar waveguide, and for focusing a reflected input signal at a selected input point of the input planar waveguide, alignment and tuning of an input and assembly can be improved and simplified. Advantageously, variable coupling parameters can be incorporated into the reflective coupling including input position, waveguide taper and planar waveguide length increment to provide relatively simple tuning in an integrated device. Compensation for polarization effects and thermal effects can also be provided in the reflective coupling.

摘要： The present invention discloses systems and methods used to consolidate and associate structured and unstructured data together on a file system. File systems are far more efficient for handling unstructured data than conventional databases. File systems can also contain a large volume of structured data serialized in XML (extensible Markup Language). File systems have a lower purchase and maintenance cost than conventional databases. Unfortunately, file systems don't provide fast access to structured data like most databases. File systems also lack the ability to associate data together like relational databases. Solutions to the structured-data access and data association problems are demonstrated in the present invention.
