    Abstract: A wavelength filter includes a solid material that is optically transparent and including a pair of planar surfaces substantially parallel to each other; and a supporting member that supports the solid material on a planar surface of the solid material other than the pair of planar surfaces, the supporting member having a rigidity higher than that of the solid material. The solid material is a birefringent material of which an optical axis makes a predetermined angle with respect to a normal to the pair of planar surfaces, and the wavelength filter selects light having a wavelength that is determined by an optical length between the pair of planar surfaces by resonating the light between the pair of planar surfaces.

    Abstract: A wavelength stabilizing apparatus utilized in an optical communication system for controlling a light wave output from a tunable optical component is disclosed. The wavelength stabilizing apparatus includes a coarse-tuning element, a fine-tuning element, and a servo element. When the wavelength stabilizing apparatus is used, the light wave output from the tunable optical component is directed into the coarse-tuning element and the fine-tuning element, respectively, and then transformed into electric signals to be received by the servo element. Particularly, the electric signals from the coarse-tuning element are served as basis for coarse-tuning and channel recognition of the light wave output from the tunable optical component while the electric signals from the fine-tuning element are served for fine-tuning and servo control of the light wave output from the tunable optical component. These electric signals are also processed with a logical operation to obtain a control signal for controlling the tunable optical component.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an approach to locking the output wavelength of a laser that uses an etalon having non-parallel surfaces. Under this approach, the non-parallel etalon is formed from a readily available, low cost optical component, and may include an etalon with a wedged shape or with at least one curved surface. This approach offers significant advantages over the use of a planar etalon. It provides two degrees of freedom in alignment of the device, and so both the absolute wavelength and the spacing between the interference fringes can be independently adjusted. It also reduces the cost and difficulty of assembly, since it utilizes standard optical parts with wide tolerances. The invention may be used within a standard laser package. The invention also permits the laser to be tuned to a precise operating wavelength by setting various tuning signals according to values stored in memory.

    Abstract: In some implementations, an optical assembly comprises an optical cavity; one or more detectors; and an optical component having an input face and an output face configured to receive an input beam to the input face and to produce one or more primary output beams, and a plurality of secondary output beams from the output face, the secondary output beams resulting from multiple internal reflections within the optical component. At least one of the input face is not perpendicular to the input beam or the output face is not perpendicular to the one or more primary output beams. Each primary output beam is transmitted through the optical cavity perpendicular to at least one surface of the optical cavity, and directed to a respective one of the one or more detectors. Each detector is arranged to exclude at least a portion of each secondary output beam.
