摘要： In an example, an Echelle grating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device includes a first waveguide, a slab waveguide, multiple second waveguides, an Echelle grating, and a metal-filled trench. The first waveguide includes either an input waveguide or an output waveguide. The multiple second waveguides are optically coupled to the first waveguide through the slab waveguide. The multiple second waveguides include multiple output waveguides if the first waveguide includes the input waveguide or multiple input waveguides if the first waveguide includes the output waveguide. The Echelle grating includes multiple grating teeth formed in the slab waveguide. The metal-filled trench forms a mirror at the grating teeth to reflect incident light from the first waveguide toward the multiple second waveguides or from the multiple second waveguides toward the first waveguide.

摘要： A connector assembly is provided for coupling optical fibers to a spectrometer. The connector assembly includes a plate having a slit defined therein and a ferrule that secures end portions of the optical fibers therein. The ferrule includes a forward end having an aperture that receives the optical fibers. The connector assembly further includes a connector housing having an alignment mechanism with a plate recess dimensioned to receive the plate therein and a ferrule recess dimensioned to receive the forward end of the ferrule therein. The plate recess orients the plate and the ferrule recess orients the ferrule within the connector assembly that includes a spring for imparting a force urging the forward end of the ferrule into contact with the plate to minimize an air gap between the plate and the ferrule. The spring and the alignment mechanism maintain the ferrule in an x-y-z, rotation, and/or an angular orientation.

摘要： A fiber optic probe assembly is provided. The probe comprises a first optical system and a second optical system, a delivery light guide comprising one or more than one delivery optical fiber for transmitting excitation radiation from a radiation source disposed at a proximal end of the light guide to the first optical system. The first optical system comprising one or more than one first optical element for forming a substantially collimated illumination beam from the excitation radiation. An optically opaque tubular sleeve is fitted over the first optical system to optically isolate the first optical system and the delivery light guide from the second optical system. The second optical system comprising one or more than one second optical element for gathering optical radiation scattered from a sample and forming the optical radiation into a collection beam. A collection light guide comprising one or more than one collection optical fiber receives the collection beam and transmits the collection beam to an analyzer. The first and second optical systems are disposed within a housing so that an emission cone of the first optical system and an acceptance cone of the second optical system substantially overlap. A spectroscopic measurement system comprising the optic fiber probe is also provided.
