Method For The Fabrication Of Patterned Poled Dielectric Structures And Devices

View page
US Patent:
6631024, Oct 7, 2003
Filed:
Mar 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/796832
Inventors:
Carl Paquet - San Jose CA
Jocelyn Lauzon - St-Augustin-de-Desmaures, CA
Sylvain Derome - Kanata, CA
Chiara Meneghini - Sainte-Foy, CA
Assignee:
Institut National dOptique - Quebec
International Classification:
G02F 1355
US Classification:
359326
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for fabricating a patterned, poled dielectric structure, comprising the steps of providing a material, patterning a periodic pattern into a first surface, applying an electrode to the first surface, and applying a voltage to the electrode to create a domain inversion in the material. Preferably, the material is a ferroelectric material, and the electrode is a single, planar, solid electrode. The method proposed herein is simple, reproducible and economical, as compared to prior methods. Patterned, poled dielectric structures are used to generate optical frequency conversion, by creating quasi-phase matching between two optical signals.

Linear Spectrometer

US Patent:
6650413, Nov 18, 2003
Filed:
Sep 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/952718
Inventors:
Simon Thibault - Sainte-Foy, CA
Carl Paquet - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Institut National dOptique - Quebec
International Classification:
G01J 328
US Classification:
356328
Abstract:
A linear spectrometer for spectrally measuring an optical signal. The spectrometer has an input receiving the signal which is then diffracted onto a diffraction grating. The signal is therefore divided into its spectral components, each component being diffracted at an angle. A correcting element, such as a lens, a group of lenses, a mirror, etc. is provided for focusing the spectral components on an image plane where they are detected. The correcting element is designed so that the resulting distribution of the spectral components on the image plane is linear with respect to the components wavelength.

Method And System For Optimizing A Laser System

US Patent:
7058299, Jun 6, 2006
Filed:
Nov 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/289813
Inventors:
Saurin Shah - San Jose CA, US
Chris Barnard - Sunnyvale CA, US
Carl Paquet - San Jose CA, US
Denis Zaccarin - Sunnyvale CA, US
Mike Sieben - Alberta, CA
Assignee:
CIENA Corporation - Linthicum MD
International Classification:
H04B 10/08
H04B 17/00
US Classification:
398 27, 398 16, 398 25, 398 26, 398 38
Abstract:
A method for optimizing an optical transmitter is provided. According to one exemplary method, the optical transmitter is optimized by varying three transmitter parameters including the bias voltage, the crossing level and the peak-to-peak voltage. Once the respective optimal levels for the bias voltage, the crossing level and the peak-to-peak voltage are obtained, the optical transmitter is further checked to ensure that the optical transmitter is able to function properly within certain predetermined system parameters. The optical transmitter is also checked under two limiting scenarios to ensure that the optical transmitter is optimized against two predetermined lengths of optical fiber.

US Patent:
20020094154, Jul 18, 2002
Filed:
Nov 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/725591
Inventors:
Simon Thibault - Sainte-Foy, CA
Carl Paquet - San Jose CA, US
Alain Chandonnet - Cap-Rouge, CA
Assignee:
INSTITUT NATIONAL D'OPTIQUE
International Classification:
G02B006/293
US Classification:
385/024000, 359/130000
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a linear wavelength DWDM that is compact and is adapted for use with fiber ribbons. The device of the present invention includes a first and second port in an optically transmissive medium. The first and second ports are in optical communication with each other through a first and second mirror and a diffraction grating. Preferably, the first mirror is located opposite the first port, and is off-axis with respect to the optical axis. The diffraction grating is located on the same side as the input port, and is in optical communication with the first mirror. The second mirror is located on the same side as the first mirror and is in optical communication with the diffraction grating. The output port is slightly off-axis with respect to the optical axis of the second mirror and is in optical communication therewith. The device of the present invention can be used as a multiplexer, where the second port is used as the input, or as a demultiplexer, where the first port is used as the input. The various parameters of the device are optimized so that the second port permits connection of a fiber ribbon. The device compensates for the non-linear relationship between equally spectrally spaced wavelengths and physically spaced wavelengths once they have been diffracted.
