    Abstract: An optical filter comprises a volume diffraction grating (1) provided within a waveguide. The grating (1) has a thickness T sufficient such that when an optical beam R is incident on the grating from outside the waveguide, wavelengths at or near the Bragg wavelength for the grating are diffracted and coupled into the waveguide, all but the first order interferences being substantially eliminated, whilst wavelengths away from the Bragg wavelength pass through the waveguide substantially undiffracted. The grating pitch L may be varied to permit tuning of the filter response.

    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: 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).
