摘要： A device for transmitting light signals includes two electrode plates, a spacing structure, a cladding fluid, and a core fluid. The spacing structure, the cladding and core fluids are disposed between the electrode plates. The refractive index of the core fluid is higher than that of the cladding fluid. The core fluid is located on an electrode of one of the electrode plates, and its shape corresponds to the shape of that electrode. The shape and position is changeable and programmable by the electrodes of one of the electrode plates. The core fluid is further surrounded by the cladding fluid, forming an optical waveguide. Via these arrangements, the interface between the core and cladding fluids is much smoother than that between a fluid and a solid, so that the light signals are less likely to scatter while transmitted, in the core fluid. Therefore, the attenuation and reduction of the intensity of the light signals can be decreased. A method for transmitting light signals is also provided.

摘要： The invention relates to a shutter for an optical imaging system. An amount of opaque fluid is moved in a planar capillary space to open and close the shutter. Depending on the position of the opaque fluid with respect to an optical path passing through the capillary space, the fluid opens or blocks the optical path. In an embodiment, the opaque fluid is moved by a pressure differential caused by a diaphragm which is coupled to a piezoelectric actuator. In another embodiment, the opaque fluid is moved by electrostatic forces.

摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods that employ a continuously variable optical delay line to introduce a delay into a transmitted optical signal. The delay line comprises a holey fiber configured in a spiral layout, wherein one end of the fiber is operative to a reflective fluid reservoir and the other end in operative to an input port. A segmented piezoelectric actuator is employed to position a reflective fluid within the fiber, utilizing a commutated technique that continuously moves the fluid. A signal received at the input port is routed through the holey fiber at an angle of incidence to achieve total internal reflection. The signal traverses towards the reflective fluid, and reflects back towards the input port after coming into contact with the fluid's surface. The delay introduced into the signal is a function of the distance traveled through the delay line.

摘要： An optical switch is presented. In a first state, a trench is filled with index matching fluid so that light from a first waveguide passes through the trench to a second waveguide. In a second state, a bubble is formed within the index matching fluid so that light from the first waveguide is reflected at the trench to a third waveguide. The bubble is formed by heat so that volume of the bubble is substantially less than total volume of the trench, resulting in pressure within the bubble not being substantially increased by pressure exerted by sidewalls of the trench.
