摘要： Optical generation and modulation is carried out in the optical domain and converted to, for example, the THz band using suitable optical/electrical conversion hardware. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an electrooptic modulator is significantly overdriven to create sidebands on an optical carrier signal. An arrayed waveguide grating or other suitable filter is then used to filter the optical signal and remove the carrier signal and unwanted sidebands. The desired sidebands are then combined to create an optical signal that can be encoded with data through suitable modulation. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

摘要： Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core, a cladding, an electrooptic polymer, and a set of control electrodes. The core, the cladding, and the electrooptic polymer are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core to couple into a relatively high index region of the electrooptic polymer above the waveguide core, so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal.

摘要： Optical devices (10, 40) are provided for optical signal modulation of light propagating in a waveguide core surrounded by polymeric cladding regions which include chromophores, under the control of an electrical signal propagating along a traveling wave electrode structure. The microwave electrode structure comprises a coplanar stripline including a control signal electrode (75) interposed between a pair of ground plane electrodes (72, 74). Each of the microwave ground plane electrodes is connected to a positive or negative DC bios source (+Vblas, -Vbias) and is coupled from the microwave signal input (44) by means of DC blocking capacitors (76). The ground electrode portions (72’, 74’) isolated from the signal input and output can be used to align the chromophores by applying a bias voltage at a temperature near the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The present invention also contemplates provision of a coplanar stripline as described and claimed herein.

摘要： Disclosed is a series of materials, which exhibit large birefringence under the influence of an applied electric field. These materials are capable of switching this large birefringence with a characteristic time on the order of 1 microsecond or less. In addition, these materials have good optical loss at this wavelength, and are stable under irradiation. These materials are suitable for fabrication of optical devices such a variable optical attenuators, switches, and modulators that respond in these time frames or slower. These materials are also suitable for use across a wide range of wavelengths. As a second component of this invention, some of these novel materials exhibit these desired optical properties (large birefringence, low loss, stability under illumination) at wavelengths as short as about 400 nm. These materials are suitable for fabrication of optical devices operating at or about 405 nm, where conventional EO materials strongly absorb and/or quickly degrade.
