Dense Wdm Optical Multiplexer And Demultiplexer

View page
US Patent:
6404948, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Jan 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/770367
Inventors:
Stephen B. Alexander - Millersville MD
Jean-Luc Archambault - Severna Park MD
Victor Mizrahi - Columbia MD
Henry H. Yaffe - Reisterstown MD
Assignee:
Ciena Corporation - Linthicum MD
International Classification:
G02B 628
US Classification:
385 24, 385 15, 385 31, 385 37, 385 42, 359115, 359124, 359130
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, optical channels to be demultiplexed are supplied to first and second optical fibers via an optical splitter. Low loss interference filters, for example, coupled to the first and second optical fibers, select respective groups of channels. Each group of channels is next demultiplexed with sub-demultiplexers into individual channels, each of which is then sensed with a corresponding photodetector. Although the optical splitter introduces an optical power loss at the input to the demultiplexer, the interference filters and sub-demultiplexers create little additional loss. As a result, the total power loss associated with the present invention is significantly less than that obtained with a conventional n channel demultiplexer based on a 1Ãn splitter. Accordingly, large numbers of channels, e. g. , in excess of forty can be readily demultiplexed and detected.

US Patent:
20010028760, Oct 11, 2001
Filed:
Mar 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/799218
Inventors:
Henry Yaffe - Reisterstown MD, US
International Classification:
G02B006/26
US Classification:
385/027000, 385/039000, 385/011000

At least one terminal includes an optical demultiplexer that is coupled to that element, a plurality of -compensators, and, optionally, a static optical dispersion compensation element.

Monolithic Optical Waveguide Filters Based On Fourier Expansion

View page
US Patent:
55966616, Jan 21, 1997
Filed:
Dec 28, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/365618
Inventors:
Charles H. Henry - Skillman NJ
Edward J. Laskowski - Scotch Plains NJ
Yuan P. Li - Alpharetta GA
Cecilia Y. Mak - Bedminster NJ
Henry H. Yaffe - Dunwoody GA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
C02B 628
US Classification:
385 24
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, a new type of monolithic optical waveguide filter comprises a chain of optical couplers of different effective lengths linked by differential delays of different lengths. The transfer of the chain of couplers and delays is the sum of contributions from all possible optical paths, each contribution forming a term in a Fourier series whose sum forms the optical output. A desired frequency response is obtained by optimizing the lengths of the couplers and the delay paths so that the Fourier series best approximates the desired response. The filter is advantageously optimized so that it is insensitive to uncontrolled fabrication errors and is short in length. The wavelength dependence of practical waveguide properties is advantageously incorporated in the optimization. Consequently, the filter is highly manufacturable by mass production.

Method And System For Generating A Mask Layout Of An Optical Integrated Circuit

View page
US Patent:
59148896, Jun 22, 1999
Filed:
Sep 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/713582
Inventors:
Leonard George Cohen - Atlanta GA
Charles Howard Henry - Skillman NJ
Yuan P. Li - Duluth GA
Morton I. Schwartz - Alpharetta GA
Yan Wang - Chamblee GA
Henry Howard Yaffe - Reisterstown MD
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G06F 1700
G06F 1750
US Classification:
364491
Abstract:
A computer system and method provide a CAD tool by which a mask for an application specific optical integrated circuit, chip, or wafer may be generated both easily and quickly. The method involves the step of receiving the design for an optical circuit with the circuit design including at least one optical component. Each optical component in the optical circuit is defined by one or more geometric shapes, such as a trapezoid, rectangle, or an arcuate polygon. The method further includes the step of retrieving parameters which define the manufacturing standard by which the optical circuit will be fabricated as well as parameters which define the optical components in the optical circuit. Based on the parameters and the geometric shapes, a plot is generated which forms a mask layout for the optical circuit. The mask layout can then be viewed by a graphical editor whereby a designer can receive visual confirmation that the mask layout accurately portrays the desired optical circuit, chip, or wafer.

Optimized Waveguide Structure

View page
US Patent:
57199760, Feb 17, 1998
Filed:
Oct 24, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/547767
Inventors:
Charles Howard Henry - Skillman NJ
Edward John Laskowski - Scotch Plains NJ
Yuan P. Li - Duluth GA
Henry Howard Yaffe - Dunwoody GA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G02B 626
US Classification:
385 50
Abstract:
An optimized waveguide structure enables the functional integration of various passive optic components on a single substrate. The optimized waveguide structure is characterized by a thicker core layer than used for square core waveguides and a core width that changes according to different functional regions of the optic circuit within which it is incorporated. The height (H) of the waveguide core is determined by the thickness of the core layer defined during the fabrication process and is ideally uniform across the circuit. The width (W) of the core, however, is changed between functional regions by the photo-lithographic mask and the chemical etching during the fabrication process. By way of example, an optimized waveguide structure for a P-doped silica planar waveguide with a. DELTA. approximately 0.

Appl. No.:
9/008070
Inventors:
Andrei Csipkes - Savage MD
Henry H. Yaffe - Baltimore MD
Steve B. Alexander - Millersville MD
Balakrishnan Sridhar - Elkridge MD
Dave A. Schwarten - Ellicott City MD
Yves Pradieu - Columbia MD
Assignee:
CIENA Corporation - Linthicum MD
International Classification:
G06F 1540
US Classification:
700117
Abstract:
The component parts for assembly of a device, such as the passive optical components of an optical amplifier, are automatically selected from among a supply of available component parts. Each component part has a performance parameter such as insertion loss associated therewith. Stored in a database memory are component part data for each component part of the supply of available component parts. The component part data are in a computer readable format and indicative of a type of each part and the performance parameter of each part. To obtain the selection of parts of the device for assembly, the component part data for a plurality of the available component parts is retrieved from the database, and the thus retrieved plurality of component part data are sorted according to at least the performance parameter of each retrieved component part data. At least one component part among the sorted component part data is selected based on a preset parameter. Then, at least one remaining component part among the sorted component part data is identified based at least on the performance parameter of the at least one component part and the performance parameter of the at least one remaining component part.

Fiber And Active Optical Device Interconnection Assembly

View page
US Patent:
56319894, May 20, 1997
Filed:
Nov 22, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/561676
Inventors:
Uziel Koren - Fair Haven NJ
Henry H. Yaffe - Dunwoody GA
Norman R. Lampert - Norcross GA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G02B 642
US Classification:
385 91
Abstract:
A connector assembly for coupling an optical fiber to an active optical device has a metal sleeve and an L-shaped alignment block having perpendicularly disposed reference surfaces. A resilient member on the sleeve biases an optical fiber terminating plug against the reference surfaces. The active optical device is attached to a ceramic sub-mount and the sub-mount is placed on one of the reference surfaces. The sub-mount is sized so that an optical port for the active optical device will become aligned with the central axis of the plug. To couple the optical fiber with the active optical device, the plug is slid into contact with the active optical device and is rotated until the fiber is substantially registered with the optical port. The sleeve may have a second resilient member for receiving another plug from the opposite end of the sleeve with a fiber in the other plug being coupled to a second optical port. The active optical device can comprise a variety of devices, such as a laser or an optical modulator with mode field beam expanders.
