Abstract: A magnetically-assisted fixturing process for optical components (20) on a bench (100) utilizes precision placement of an optical component (20) on a bench (100). This placement can be done either entirely passively, actively, or using a combination of active and passive alignment. The optical component (20) is then held on the bench (100) using a magnetic field. Thus, the optical component (20) is maintained in a stable relationship with respect to the bench (100), especially after it has been aligned. The optical component (20) is then affixed to the bench (100), typically by a solder bonding process. Alternatively, other bonding processes can be used, such as epoxy bonding or laser welding. In one implementation, the magnetic fixturing is maintained during the process of affixing or bonding the optical component (20). Thus, in one example, the optical bench (100) can be transported to a solder reflow oven while the optical component (20) is held on the bench (100) via the magnetic fixturing.

Abstract: An optical component is adapted for pick-and-place-style installation on an optical submount (100) or bench and compatible with a chuck of a bonder (200) that picks-up the optical component, places it on the optical bench, and then typically solder bonds the optical component to the bench. In the current implementation, this optical component comprises an optical element (104), such as an optical fiber, lens, or MOEMS device, that is attached to a plastically deformable mounting structure. The optical component has a bench-attach surface (152) that is used to bond the optical component to an optical bench. Further, the optical component has a bonder chuck engagement surface (154) to which a bonder chuck attaches to manipulate the optical component, such as install it, on the optical bench.

Abstract: An optical detector system comprises a hermetic optoelectronic package, an optical bench installed within the optoelectronic package, a balanced detector system installed on the optical bench. The balanced detector system includes at least two optical detectors that receive interference signals. An electronic amplifier system installed within the optoelectronic package amplifies an output of at least two optical detectors. Also disclosed is an integrated optical coherence tomography system. Embodiments are provided in which the amplifiers, typically transimpedance amplifiers, are closely integrated with the optical detectors that detect the interference signals from the interferometer. Further embodiments are provided in which the interferometer but also preferably its detectors are integrated together on a common optical bench. Systems that have little or no optical fiber can thus be implemented.

Abstract: To address counterfeit problems, for example, we propose a secure, flexible, and cost-effective authentication solution that can be integrated into conventional distribution logistic systems. The proposed solution for product authentication and distribution channel validation comprises three major components: 1) machine-readable Raman-active chemical taggant; 2) a taggant reader/eraser; and 3) erasable taggants. The proposed solution is to control and validate the distribution channel by authenticating the origin of products. Authentication is accomplished by verification of distinct taggants associated with the article, such as on its label, along with other product distribution information in optical, spatial-encoding indicia, such as a barcode. The taggant information is used to identify, validate, and distinguish the origin of the source of the articles, such as goods or products. The taggant material is thereafter rendered unreadable by modifying the taggants to make obtaining the encoded information unfeasible, thereby controlling the taggants' lifecycle.

Abstract: An optical resonator including is designed is to degrade the ability of the resonator to supportsuppress higher order transverse spatial modes. The inventive optical resonator forces Higher higher order transverse modes to be fundamentally unstable in the inventive optical resonator, ultimately achievingultimately to achieving single transverse mode resonator operation. Specifically, the bounded phase deflection mirror shape or intracavity lens profile is tailored to confine the fundamental mode while rendering the higher order modes unstable. This has application in MEMS/MOEMS optical resonator devices by suppressing the side modes and increasing the side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), as well as improving SMSR tolerance to device external alignment, for example. This also has application to achieving single transverse mode operation in laser resonators, such as in semiconductor vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL).

Abstract: An optical membrane device (110) and method for making such a device (110) are described. This membrane is notable in that it comprises an optically curved surface (250). In some embodiments, this curved optical surface (250) is optically concave and coated, for example, with a highly reflecting (HR) coating to create a curved mirror. In other embodiments, the optical surface is optically convex and coated with, preferably, an antireflective (AR) coating to function as a refractive or diffractive lens.
