摘要： A computer system and method provide a CAD tool by which a mask for an application specific optical integrated circuit, chip, or wafer may be generated both easily and quickly. The method involves the step of receiving the design for an optical circuit with the circuit design including at least one optical component. Each optical component in the optical circuit is defined by one or more geometric shapes, such as a trapezoid, rectangle, or an arcuate polygon. The method further includes the step of retrieving parameters which define the manufacturing standard by which the optical circuit will be fabricated as well as parameters which define the optical components in the optical circuit. Based on the parameters and the geometric shapes, a plot is generated which forms a mask layout for the optical circuit. The mask layout can then be viewed by a graphical editor whereby a designer can receive visual confirmation that the mask layout accurately portrays the desired optical circuit, chip, or wafer.

摘要： This invention relates to a novel design for a low-loss optical power splitter, in particular Y-branch types resulting from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) fabricated silica waveguides. More specifically, the present invention utilizes mode matching of the fundamental modes between the input and the output waveguides of a splitter to optimize the splitters operational performance. The optical power splitter of the present invention comprising an input waveguide region having a predetermined width (W) and capable of transmitting optical energy having a fundamental mode E.sub.1.sup.0. Additionally, the splitter includes at least two output waveguide regions positioned to receive at least a portion the optical energy from the input waveguide region wherein the output waveguide regions each have predetermined widths (w) and are capable of transmitting optical energy having a fundamental mode E.sub.2.sup.0 ; and wherein each pair of output waveguide regions are separated by a gap of a predetermined width (d) therebetween. Lastly, the operational performance of the splitter is enhanced in accordance with the present invention as a result of purposely selecting certain physical properties of the splitter design such that the fundamental modes E.sub.1.sup.0 and E.sub.2.sup.0 are substantially equal at the beginning of the output waveguide regions. Mode matching of the fundamental modes between the single input and the dual output waveguides of a splitting Y junction was central to achieving the improved performance.

摘要： The present invention relates to a waveguide taper. The waveguide taper has a first end and a second end for being coupled with a fiber. The core has an overall width that progressively increases from the waveguide end toward the fiber end such that the width of the fiber end of the taper corresponds to the diameter of the core of the fiber. Side-gaps are disposed in the sides of the core and extend into the core but not across the entire width of the core. The depth of the side-gaps progressively increases from the waveguide end to the fiber end of the taper. In one embodiment, the side-gaps may be aperiodically and/or randomly disposed along the length of the taper and the side-gaps can be disposed at different angles to a direction of light propagation along a length of the core.

摘要： The present invention teaches a novel technique for reducing the temperature-related spectrum shifts in optical devices, particularly waveguide grating routers (WGR). In general, the present invention modifies a portion of the length of at least one waveguide within an optical device in a manner that stabilizes the wavelength spectrum passing therethough even when exposed to temperature variations. More specifically, by knowing how the refractive index of a certain material changes with temperature variations as compared to that of common waveguide materials, such a silica, one may employ the teachings of the present invention to precisely modify the nature of the optical path through which a signal travels to fully compensate for any temperature-related wavelength spectrum shift. In other words, be able to produce an optical device with a plurality of waveguides each of which is appropriately modified so that any optical signal passing therethrough has the same wavelength at any two given temperatures.

摘要： An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer 500 comprises first and second star couplers 41, 42 that are interconnected by a number of optical waveguides 430 of unequal length (i.e., a grating). The multiplexer/demultiplexer functions to distribute optical signals in a first-wavelength region .lambda..sub.A (around 1550 nm) from one input port 401 of the first star coupler 41 to individual output ports 426 of the second star coupler 42 according to wavelength. The first star coupler includes at least one other input port 402 for receiving optical signals in a second wavelength region .lambda..sub.B (around 1310 nm) to be broadcast to all output ports of the second star coupler. In order to properly broadcast the optical signals in the second wavelength region, a power splitter 50 is connected in series with the other input port(s) of the first star coupler. The combined width w.sub.1 of the output port(s) of the power splitter is greater than the width w.sub.2 subtended by the central Brillouin zone of the multiplexer/demultiplexer. In one embodiment of the invention, the power splitter comprises a star coupler 50-1 having one input port 51 and many output ports; while in another embodiment, the power splitter comprises a tapered waveguide 50-2. A particularly useful device 100 is formed by adding a coarse WDM (80) to route optical input signals in the .lambda..sub.A wavelength region to the one input port of the first star coupler, and to route optical signals in the .lambda..sub.B wavelength region to the power splitter.
