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. The tapered light collector is operative to reduce the angular distribution of light entering the light pipe. At least a first dichroic filter positioned in the light pipe optically between first and second light entrances is operative to pass first color light from the first light source toward the light port, and to reflect second color light from the second light source toward the light port.

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.

摘要： A display light source (230) includes a gain media (232), an output reflector (246), and a wavelength converter (244) that cooperate to generate a source output beam (260). The gain media (232) generates a media output beam (247) that exits an output facet (232B) of the gain media (232). The media output beam (247) has a first spectral frequency range and a relatively large number of modes. The output reflector (246) is spaced apart from the gain media (232), and the output reflector (246) forms a portion of a laser cavity (251). The wavelength converter (244) is positioned within the laser cavity (251). The wavelength converter (244) converts at least a portion of the media output beam (247) from the first spectral frequency range to a converted beam (258) having at a secondary spectral frequency range. For example, the wavelength converter (244) can double the frequency of the media output beam (247). Additionally, the light source (230) can include a wavelength controller (238) that controls the number of modes that are lasing in the laser cavity (251), and that controls the spectral width and the center wavelength of the light that is lasing in the laser cavity (251)
