摘要： An optical component manipulation system has two opposed jaws, which can each be independently positioned relative to each other in a coordinate plane to thereby effect the desired positioning of optical components within the larger system. Z-axis rigidity is provided by air-bearings. Laser heating of the jaws is used for solder, or similar heat driven bonding, processes.

摘要： An integrated optical monitoring system comprises a hermetic package and an optical bench sealed within a package. An optical fiber pigtail enters the package via a feed-through to connect and terminate above the bench. A tunable filter is connected to the top of the bench and filters an optical signal transmitted by the fiber pigtail. A detector, also connected to the bench, detects the filtered signal from the tunable filter. Thus, the entire system is integrated together, on a single bench within a preferably small package. This configuration makes the system useful as a subsystem, for example, in a larger system offering higher levels of functionality and optical signal processing capability.

摘要： Mounting and alignment structures for optical components allow optical components to be connected to an optical bench and then subsequently aligned, i.e., either passively or actively, in a manufacturing or subsequent calibration or recalibration, alignment or realignment processes. The structures comprise quasi-extrusion portions. This portion is “quasi-extrusion” in the sense that it has a substantially constant cross section in a z-axis direction as would be yielded in an extrusion manufacturing process. The structures further comprise at least one base, having a laterally-extending base surface, and an optical component interface. At least one armature connects the optical component interface with the base. In the preferred embodiment, the base surface is securable to an optical bench.

摘要： An optical membrane device comprises a substrate, at least one support block on a surface of the substrate, and at least one plate. A torsion beam supports the plate above the substrate on the support block. The optical membrane device also includes an optical membrane structure supported by the plate above the substrate and at least one electrode on the substrate underneath the plate. In one implementation, the optical membrane device further comprises a tether for coupling the optical membrane structure to the plate. The tether extends between the optical membrane structure and the plate. In another implementation, the substrate of the optical membrane device has an optical port through the substrate directly below the optical membrane structure. The plate is substantially balanced around the torsion beam to minimize a sensitivity to orientation in a gravitational field.

摘要： A system and process for tuning the PER of an electronic system during and/or after its manufacture includes fixtures that allow for the axial rotation of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber relative to the optical system after the optical fiber has been installed in the system. The degradation in the PER ratio of the optical system results from mechanical stresses placed on the fiber during the manufacture of the systems. For example, in the case of optical pump manufacturing, the semiconductor laser is installed on a submount. The PM fiber enters a package through a fiber feedthrough in a ferrule and then is secured down onto the submount, such that the endface of the pigtail is held in proximity to the exit facet of the semiconductor laser. In such systems, highly robust fixturing processes are used, typically such as solder bonding, in which the fiber is metallized and solder bonded either directly or indirectly to the submount. Further, solder is typically applied to seal the ferrule around the fiber since these packages must be hermetically sealed to provide for the long-term stable operation. The solder bonding processes can create asymmetries in the residual stress fields applied around the circumference of the fiber after the solder has cooled. These asymmetric stress fields lead to distortions in the stress-induced birefringent medium of the fiber. This results in coupling between the two polarization modes of the PM fiber, and consequently the degradation of the PER of the system from that expected from the separate components, for which the present invention can compensate.
摘要翻译：在制造期间和/或之后调整电子系统的PER的系统和过程包括在光纤已经安装在系统中之后允许偏振保持光纤相对于光学系统的轴向旋转的固定装置。光学系统的PER比的降低是由于系统制造过程中放置在光纤上的机械应力引起的。例如，在光泵制造的情况下，将半导体激光器安装在基台上。 PM纤维通过套圈中的纤维馈通进入包装中，然后被固定到底座上，使得尾纤的端面保持靠近半导体激光器的出口小面。在这样的系统中，使用高度牢固的固定工艺，通常例如焊接，其中纤维被金属化并且直接或间接地焊接到底座。此外，通常施加焊料以将套圈密封在纤维周围，因为这些包装必须被气密密封以提供长期稳定的操作。在焊料冷却之后，焊接工艺可能在纤维周围施加的残余应力场产生不对称性。这些不对称应力场导致纤维的应力诱导双折射介质的变形。这导致PM光纤的两种偏振模式之间的耦合，并且因此从本发明可以补偿的单独部件所预期的系统的PER降低。

摘要： A wavelength measurement system uses birefringent material waveplate, thereby producing a substantially sinusoidal spectral response. As a result, the responses of multiple birefringent filters can be combined to yield a filter system with a periodic frequency response that has an additive wavelength resolution that is spectrally stable. That is, the wavelength measurement system does not have regions where wavelength resolution is degraded. In one implementation, a waveplate system 112 is used, placed between two blocks of birefringent material 110 and 114. A quadrant detector 116 is used to detect the intensities of the resulting four beams.

摘要： An optical switch device includes a rolling shutter or membrane attached at one of its edges to a substrate near an optical port in the substrate. The rolling shutter can assume one of two states. In a first closed state, the membrane is uncoiled onto the substrate over the port such that light directed at the port impinges on the shutter. In a second open state, the membrane is rolled up away from the port such that light directed at the port impinges on the port. In one embodiment, a mirror is formed on the membrane such that when the membrane is in the closed state over the substrate, light directed at the port is reflected by the mirror. In one configuration, the optical port includes a hole or aperture such light passed through the port without interference. The device can include a latch electrode the far end of the membrane such that when it is rolled out, it can be held in position by a latching voltage applied across the latch electrode and the substrate. Slits can be formed in the membrane to keep the mirror flat by relieving strain in the membrane and to allow gases in proximity to the device to pass through the membrane as it is activated. The shutter can include dimples to minimize the area of contact between the membrane and the substrate to reduce the probability of the two sticking together. The attachment edge of the membrane can be made shorter than its width to reduce distortions in the membrane to keep the mirror flat. A raised annular rim can be provided around the port such that when the shutter is held down over the port it is pulled taut and flat over the rim. This feature is also used to maintain flatness in the mirror. The switch device can be used as part of an array of optical switches.

摘要： A process for fabricating an optical membrane device comprises providing a handle wafer and then oxidizing a surface of the handle wafer to form an insulating layer. A device wafer is then bonded to the handle wafer. An optical membrane structure is formed in this device wafer. The insulating layer is selectively removed to release the membrane structure. This device wafer can be manufactured from silicon wafer material. Such material typically has a low number of dislocations yielding a stable mechanical membrane structure. The insulating layer defines the electrical cavity across which electrical fields are established that are used to electrostatically deflect the membrane structure. The insulating layer is between 3 and 6 micrometers (&mgr;m) in thickness.
