摘要： A light source assembly comprises: a light pipe and one or more tapered light collectors operative to reduce the angular distribution of light entering the light pipe from light sources at one or more ports. Dichroic filters and angle-dependent, wavelength selective pass filters control light flow into and through the light pipe.

摘要： Gain-flattening components for compensation of at least a portion of the spectral gain profile of an optical amplifier comprises an optical substrate having at least a first gain-flattening filter disposed on a first surface of the optical substrate and a second gain-flattening filter disposed on a second surface of the optical substrate. The first gain-flattening filter has a transmission curve with a spectral loss profile for optical signals in the optical wavelength range, and has a net insertion loss error function relative to the spectral gain profile of an optical amplifier. The spectral loss profile of the second gain-flattening filter corresponds to the net insertion error function of the first gain-flattening filter. Gain-flattening optical amplifiers comprise one or more such gain-flattening components and at least one optical signal amplifier. Methods of producing gain-flattening components comprise: designing a primary gain-flattening filter to flatten the spectral gain profile of an optical amplifier; disposing on a first surface of an optical substrate a first gain-flattening filter according to the design of the primary gain-flattening filter; determining the error function of the coated substrate; designing a tweaker filter with a spectral loss profile corresponding to the error function of the coated substrate; and disposing on the second surface of the optical substrate a second filter according to the design of the tweaker filter.
