Method And Apparatus For Modulating Signal Strength Within Optical Systems

View page
US Patent:
6385368, May 7, 2002
Filed:
Feb 19, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/257351
Inventors:
Karl R. Amundson - Cambridge MA
Todd Christian Haber - Roswell GA
Jefferson Lynn Wagener - Aberdeen WA
Robert Scott Windeler - Clinton NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G02B 626
US Classification:
385 28, 385 12, 385 27, 385 31, 385 37
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include an optical system apparatus and method for modulating the strength of a grating such as a long period grating (LPG) within optical systems and devices by varying the light transmission and loss characteristics of the cladding mode, rather than varying the effective refractive index of the fiber layers. According to embodiments of the invention, the use of a light-scattering or light absorptive material in the cladding of the optical fiber or other optical energy transmission medium causes the cladding to switch between a first state that effectively allows coherent coupling of cladding modes and a second state that effectively prevents coherent coupling of cladding modes. The light-scattering materials include electro-optic materials that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the presence (or absence) of an electric field, magneto-optic materials that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the presence (or absence) of a magnetic field, and materials capable of phase transitions that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on temperature. The light-absorptive materials include dopants that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the wavelength of the optical energy.

US Patent:
6631222, Oct 7, 2003
Filed:
May 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/571833
Inventors:
Jefferson L. Wagener - Aberdeen WA
Thomas Andrew Strasser - Warren NJ
Assignee:
Photuris, Inc. - Piscataway NJ
International Classification:
G02B 635
US Classification:
385 16, 385 17, 385 18, 385 31
Abstract:

Arrangement For Mitigating First Order And Second-Order Polarization Mode Dispersion In Optical Fiber Communication Systems

View page
US Patent:
6658215, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Sep 24, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/406577
Inventors:
Thomas Andrew Strasser - Warren NJ
Jefferson Lynn Wagener - Aberdeen WA
Assignee:
Fitel USA Corp. - Norcross GA
International Classification:
H04B 1000
US Classification:
398152, 385 11, 385123, 398158
Abstract:
A compensation arrangement for addressing the problem of first-order and second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in an optical fiber communication system includes separate, independent elements for each type of PMD. First-order PMD may be compensated using conventional techniques related to adjusting the transit time differential between the polarization states. The second-order polarization mode dispersion is compensated by recognizing the separate sources of second-order PMD (pulse broadening analogous to chromatic dispersion, additional pulse broadening due to optical filtering (narrowing), and coupling of a portion of the optical signal into the orthogonal polarization relative to the main pulse with a different transmit time. A chirped fiber grating with a variable temperature gradient, a complementary optical filter with variable spectral transmission and a polarizer, respectively, can be used to compensate for these three sources of second-order PMD.

Inventors:
Thomas Andrew Strasser - Warren NJ, US
Jefferson L. Wagener - New Hope PA, US
Christopher S. Koeppen - New Hope PA, US
Assignee:
Nistica, Inc. - Piscataway NJ
International Classification:
G02B 6/28
US Classification:
385 24, 385 25, 385 37
Abstract:
An optical wavelength routing device utilizes a free space optical beam propagating therethrough is provided. The device includes at least one optical fiber input, at least one optical fiber output, an optical element having an actuator with at least one tilt axis and a diffraction element having a surface thereon. The device also includes an optical beam-splitting element having spatially varying optical properties. An optical beam transfer arrangement is positioned between the optical element and the diffraction element such that tilt actuation of the optical element elicits a proportional change in an angle of incidence of the optical beam onto the diffraction element, wherein the center of rotation for the angular change is the surface of the diffraction element. Optical routing between the fiber input and the fiber output can be configured by the positioning of the optical element.
