    Abstract: A light modulator comprises a stack of a wave guide layer (11) and an adjacent layer (12) normally exhibiting a refractive index smaller than that of the wave guide layer, at least one of these layers being formed of a material whose refractive index changes by application of energy. An energy applicator is provided at least in one of these layers, and a dielectric grating (G) is positioned at the surface of the adjacent layer (12) over a section where energy is applied by the energy applicator. A drive circuit is provided for energizing the energy applicator and causing a change in refractive index to arise in the wave guide layer (11) and/or the adjacent layer (12) so that wave guided inside of the wave guide layer (11) is radiated out of the stack by interaction with the dielectric grating (G). In a wave guide device, the wave guide layer (11) is formed of a thermo-optic material in which the thermal coefficient of refractive index is zero or negative, and the adjacent layer (12) is formed of a thermo-optic material exhibiting a positive thermal coefficient of refractive index.

    Abstract: 一種光延遲產生器包括一個由電光活性材料製成,並諧振耦合至第二非電光活性導波管的第一導波管。該第一導波管包括一個線性調頻脈波分布布拉格反射器(chirped distributed Bragg reflector,C-DBR)結構,反射一特定波長之光學信號於此結構內之一特定反射點。適用於第一導波管的電場改變了該電光活性材料的折射率,並因而轉移了該反射點。自該反射點反射的光學信號被諧振耦合進第二導波管,且因此被適用於第一導波管的電場所影響。適用於光學信號的可控制光延遲產生於控制該反射點,以及光學信號向前傳播於第一導波管,反射於反射點,並向後傳播於第二導波管的來回傳導時間。

    Abstract: The invention relates to an external-cavity tunable laser (60) system configured to emit radiation at a laser emission wavelength, the tunable laser system comprising an external cavity having a plurality of cavity modes. The external cavity includes a gain medium (61) to emit an optical beam into the external cavity, and a tunable optical resonant grating filter (66;20;40) reflecting the optical beam at a resonant wavelength. The filter comprises a diffraction grating (23;52), a planar waveguide (28;46) optically interacting with the diffraction grating (23;52), the diffraction grating and the planar waveguide forming a resonant structure, and a light transmissive material having a selectively variable refractive index to permit tuning of the filter. The light transmissive material is a liquid crystal material or a thermo-optical material having a thermo-optic coefficient of not less than 10 -4 /°C so as to form a tunable cladding layer (30;43) for the planar waveguide. The planar waveguide (28;46) is placed between the diffraction grating (23;52) and the tunable cladding layer (30;43).

    Abstract: A high-performance electro-optic intensity modulator using two polymeric waveguides (22 and 24) having a high extinction-ratio modulation process is implemented by the coupling-out effect of induced grating modulation. The upper modulating electrode (32) has a grating pattern overlapping an edge of the coupling-out waveguide (24) along its length. The two waveguides can be either single-mode or multi-mode, even highly multimode. The inducing of a modulated grating-coupler in a waveguide channel makes the coupling between two waveguides become unidirectional and the coupling efficiency can be achieved to a very high value in theory. The two waveguide channels in this intensity modulator may have large dimensions, so the device can support either single-mode or multi-mode operation. The electro-optic waveguide intensity modulator may be used either as a single optical modulator/switch or as a waveguide modulator/switch array for fiber-optic communication. The modulator can also be implemented in an electro-optic crystal such as LiNbO3. The polymeric waveguide intensity modulator may be thermo-optically modulated.

    Abstract: An integrated optics non linear coupler presents on a surface a first and a second waveguide (2, 3) coupled contradirectionally by means of a distributed feedback grating (10). The first waveguide (2) defines an input port (4) and a first output port (5) of the device (transmission output) and the second waveguide (3) defines a second output port (6) of the device (reflection output). By means of an optical control signal injected into the device together with an information signal, the device can be brought to conditions of non-linear operation, thus making the grating (10) switch from transmitting to reflecting behaviour or vice versa with respect to a given wavelength.
