    摘要: In some implementations, an optical isolator core includes a Faraday rotator and a plurality of birefringent crystal plates. The plurality of birefringent crystal plates may include a first birefringent crystal plate to separate input light into light having a first polarization and light having a second polarization, and a second birefringent crystal plate to combine the light having the first polarization and the light having the second polarization in output light that is laterally displaced by the single stage optical isolator. The Faraday rotator may be provided between the first birefringent crystal plate and the second birefringent crystal plate. In some implementations, the plurality of birefringent crystal plates further include a third birefringent crystal plate provided between the Faraday rotator and the second birefringent crystal plate. Additionally, or alternatively, the optical isolator core may further include a half-wave plate arranged between the Faraday rotator and the first birefringent crystal plate.

    摘要: A wavelength tunable laser includes a filter region having a wavelength selection function on light from a gain region, wherein the filter region is a Sagnac interferometer and includes two ring resonators. The ring resonator has two optical couplers, and first and second curved waveguides connecting the two optical couplers, each of the two optical couplers is configured to receive input of the light from the gain region through an input-output port, to couple light of a resonant peak to a bar port of the input-output port, and to couple light except light at a resonant peak wavelength to a cross port of the input-output port, and each of radiation waveguides connected to the cross ports of the input-output ports of the two optical couplers has a structure that radiates the light except the light at the resonant peak wavelength to a front surface or a back surface of a substrate.

    摘要: A system includes a planar waveguide that includes an active gain medium configured to receive pump light from a pump source and amplify stimulated emission light. The planar waveguide has a fast axis and a slow axis and is configured to operate in single mode in the fast axis and multimode in the slow axis. The system also includes a hybrid spatial filter configured to receive the amplified stimulated emission light from the planar waveguide and output laser light. The hybrid spatial filter includes a physical slit having a narrower dimension corresponding to the slow axis of the planar waveguide. The physical slit is configured to reduce an intensity of the amplified stimulated emission light received from the planar waveguide. The hybrid spatial filter also includes a Volume Bragg Grating (VBG) configured to constrain an angle of the amplified stimulated emission light and enable compact geometry intra-cavity beam expanding/collimating optics.

    摘要: A chip-scale mode-locked laser including a cavity including a gain medium for amplifying signal electromagnetic radiation (signal) through stimulated emission, the signal comprising a signal wavelength; and a passive or active mode-locking device to enforce pulse formation in the laser. The mode-locking device includes a thin-film waveguide having a thickness on the order of the signal wavelength so as to confine and guide the signal along the thin-film waveguide, and a material comprising a second-order nonlinear susceptibility to enable active or passive mode-locking of the signal. The mode-locking device leads to generation of pulses of the signal outputted from the mode-locked laser.
