摘要： An Ethernet switch is used to dynamically reconfigure an optical network having a fixed optical layer. The Ethernet switch is incorporated into a transmission node of the optical network to selectively route data streams received through its input channels to one of the output channels. The data streams at the output channels are multiplexed into multiple wavelength channels of a multiplexed optical signal, and the wavelength channels are selectively dropped at local nodes of the optical network. In addition, the Ethernet switch can be used to reroute data from a single data stream to multiple wavelength channels, and thereby perform sub-wavelength multiplexing.

摘要： A transmitter on an integrated circuit chip is disclosed that employs a laser, modulator, and a dispersion compensator module and a modulator for overcoming chromatic dispersion and polarization dependent loss effects. With the present invention, the dispersion compensator module is placed on a chip, either integrated or monolithic, for operation with a laser and a modulator without the need to compensate for dispersion within a separate unit that is not part of the chip. The dispersion compensator module can be implemented, for example, with a ring resonator, an etalon or a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In a first aspect of the invention, the optical transmitter module of the present invention provides a cost-effective solution for upgrading from an existing optical network to a faster optical network, such as upgrading from a 2.5 Gbps to a 10 Gbps network. In a second aspect of the invention, the optical transmitter module of the present invention provides a means to deploy an optical network at the transmission rate of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and faster.

摘要： Transmission characteristics of an optical device 200, fabricated from multiple layers 16, 27, 28 of silica-based glass on a silicon substrate 26, are modified by localized thermal treatment. The beam 501 of a carbon-dioxide (CO2) laser 510 is used to selectively soften the core and/or cladding material of a waveguide structure during or after the fabrication process. In one application, softening relieves the strain developed between the waveguide structure and the silicon substrate and substantially reduces or eliminates birefringence. In a second application, the CO2 laser is operated at another power level in order to modify the index of refraction. Changes in the index of refraction change the speed of light through a waveguide thereby changing the phase shift associated with the waveguide. In a third application, the CO2 laser is operated at yet another power level to increase the transmission loss of the waveguide. In all of the embodiments, heat treatment is substantially faster and/or less expensive than known techniques for modifying the transmission characteristics of an optical device.

摘要： The specification describes techniques for fabricating tapered waveguides in planar photonic integrated circuits with the tapers formed in the z-direction (thickness). The tapers are formed by depositing the core layer in two operations. After depositing the first core layer, the layer is masked, and a step is formed in the first layer. When the second core layer is deposited over the step, a smooth taper results. The core layers are preferably formed by flame hydrolysis. During consolidation the two core layers coalesce into a single homogeneous layer with a smooth taper in the thickness dimension of the waveguide.

摘要： A method of determining an optical distance between two nodes of an optical network for chromatic dispersion compensation includes using existing optical supervisory channel components in each node to measure the “time-of-flight” of an optical signal having a known wavelength. The effective optical distance is determined based on the time-of-flight and known wavelength of the optical signal. The computed optical distance may then be used to compensate for the dispersion experienced by the optical signal when transmitted between the two nodes. Advantageously, the method allows tunable dispersion compensation of a wavelength channel to be periodically optimized at each node in response to incremental changes in environmental factors that affect the chromatic dispersion produced between the two nodes or in response to reconfigurations that affect the chromatic dispersion produced between the two nodes.

The subpixels may be controlled together to act as a single polarizing pixel, or independently to act as multiple polarizing pixels.
