摘要： An optical device for off-axis viewing includes a contact lens adapted for human eye wear. The contact lens includes a diffraction grating written into or on the contact lens. A peripheral light from a peripheral light source is diffracted by the diffraction grating so as to appear at about a same location as light from an ambient scene substantially in a direction of a central field of view. A wearer of the optical device for off-axis viewing sees simultaneously the peripheral light and the light from an ambient scene as superimposed at least in part over each other. A device-less method for correcting light direction from an ambient light source to a retina of a diseased or injured eye, and a remedial contact lens method for correcting light direction from an ambient light source to a retina of a diseased or injured eye are also described.

摘要： Described refractive correctors, include, but are not limited to, intraocular lenses (IOLs), contact lenses, corneal inlays, and other optical components or devices, incorporating a continuous central phase zone and peripheral phase discontinuities. Further embodiments are directed to a method for using a laser to modify the refractive properties of refractive correctors to form such continuous central phase zone and peripheral phase discontinuities, and other applications. The refractive corrector and methods adapt a Fresnel lens structure to include continuous phase retarding regions having a wavefront height of greater than one design wavelength in a central zone of a refractive corrector to improve human vision applications, while maintaining benefits of phase wrapping in the peripheral region.

摘要： By adapting femtosecond micromachining approaches developed in hydrogels, we can perform Intra-tissue Refractive Index Shaping (IRIS) in biological tissues. We reduced femtosecond laser pulse energies below the optical breakdown thresholds to create grating patterns that are associated with a change in the refractive index of the tissue. To increase two-photon absorption, we used a two (or more)-photon-absorbing chromophore.

摘要： A method for modifying a refractive property of ocular tissue in an eye by creating at least one optically-modified gradient index (GRIN) layer in the corneal stroma and/or the crystalline by continuously scanning a continuous stream of laser pulses having a focal volume from a laser having a known average power along a continuous line having a smoothly changing refractive index within the tissue, and varying either or both of the scan speed and the laser average power during the scan. The method may further involve determining a desired vision correction adjustment, and determining a position, number, and design parameters of gradient index (GRIN) layers to be created within the ocular tissue to provide the desired vision correction.

摘要： A method for providing vision correction to a patient. The method includes: (a) measuring the degree of vision correction needed by the patient and determining the location and shape of refractive structures that need to be positioned within the cornea to partially correct a patient's vision; (b) directing and focusing femtosecond laser pulses in the blue spectral region within the cornea at an intensity high enough to change the refractive index of the cornea within a focal region, but not high enough to damage the cornea or to affect cornea tissue outside of the focal region; and (c) scanning the laser pulses across a volume of the cornea or the lens to provide the focal region with refractive structures in the cornea or the lens. Again, the refractive structures are characterized by a change in refractive index, and exhibit little or no scattering loss.

摘要： An optical performance monitor (OPM), e.g., for use in an optical network. The OPM may be configured to characterize one or more impairments in an optical signal modulated with data. The OPM has an optical autocorrelator configured to sample the autocorrelation function of the optical signal, e.g., using two-photon absorption. Autocorrelation points at various bit delays independently or in combination with average optical power may be used to detect and/or quantify one or more of the following: loss of data modulation, signal contrast, pulse broadening, peak power fluctuations, timing jitter, and deviations from the pseudo-random character of data. In addition, the OPM may be configured to perform Fourier transformation based on the autocorrelation points to obtain corresponding spectral components. The spectral components may be used to detect and/or quantify one or more of chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, and misalignment of a pulse carver and data modulator. The OPM may be further configured to generate feedback, e.g., to network operators to improve network performance.

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus and method for high-density optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) using a single optical source. An optical wavelength division multiplexer in accordance with the present invention includes an optical source providing an optical pulse signal. A wavelength splitter separates the optical pulse signal spectrum into a plurality of channel signals at different wavelengths such that each channel signal may be separately modulated or otherwise processed. A wavelength combiner then recombines the separately modulated channel signals to provide a high-density WDM optical signal particularly well-suited for use in optical circuit interconnection and optical communication network applications. The high-density single-source multiplexer of the present invention may also be conveniently adjusted to align channel signal wavelengths or to compensate for optical fiber dispersion.

摘要： Modelocking of a solid state laser such as a Ti:Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 laser is achieved by employing an external cavity defined by spatially separated reflective elements wherein at least one of the reflective elements exhibits a nonlinear characteristic in response to an impinging light beam. Exemplary nonlinear reflective elements are described using bulk semiconductor material or semiconductor quantum well structures integrated with a rear reflector such as a stack of quarter-wave thick dielectric or semiconductor material. Tuning control of the nonlinear reflective element may be introduced with temperature control arrangements and with mechanical translation arrangements in conjunction with lateral band gap engineering of the semiconductor material.
