    Abstract: A singlemode lightwaveguide-coupling element is positioned between an initial waveguide section which there has a basic final width (W0f) and a final waveguide section which there has a basic initial width (Wn+1i) which is bigger than the basic final width (W0f). The lightwave directions of both waveguide sections are inclined at a predetermined total angle (DELTAalpha) towards each other. Starting from the initial waveguide section, the lightwaveguide element comprises intermediate waveguide sections each of which at its end has a lightwave direction which is inclined towards the lightwave direction at its opposite end at an inclination angle (DELTAalphav), such that the sum of all inclination angles equals the predetermined total angle (DELTAalpha).

    Abstract: The essential feature is the step of generating a controllable 'dynamic' intensity field profile with a controllable beating pattern in a multimode superposition of different modes, as e.g., a fundamental mode and a higher order mode as e,g., the TEO mode and T E1 mode of an input wavelength entering the input site of an AWG apparatus, whereby said beating pattern is controlled in a fixed, or in variable, predetermined way, as e.g., with a fixed or a wavelength dependent power ratio and beating pattern, for improving the mode overlap in a receiver waveguide associated with an output site of said apparatus. With variable conditions, a lower number of converter units is required. In a 8:1 multiplexer, for example, there is needed just one converter unit at its output. A 1:8 demultiplexer can be obtained by solely reversing the AWG apparatus.

    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP94/03095 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 27, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 15, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO96/08826 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 21, 1996The present invention concerns optical memories. Such an optical memory (30) comprises a data line (31) which is optically coupled via a directional waveguide coupler (33) to a circular memory loop (32). In addition, it comprises a pump line (35), which is employed in order to couple a refresh signal into the loop (32). As in case of the data line, the pump line is coupled via a directional waveguide coupler (34) to the loop (32). The counter propagating refresh light pulse provides for an amplification of the light pulse circulating in the memory loop being doped with Erbium ions. The length L of the memory loop (32) is chosen such that the circulation frequency of the light pulse in said loop (32) is equal to the clock frequency of the optical memory (30). The memory provides for individual manipulation of each stored optical bit.

    Abstract: Semiconductor device (30) such as a laser diode grown on a structured substrate surface having horizontal regions with adjacent inclined sidewall surfaces : the horizontal regions (32o) of standard orientation like (100) or slightly off, the inclined surfaces (32m) misoriented. The layers (33 to 36) forming the device are grown over the structured surface, at least the active layer (34) being of a semiconductor material that assumes ordered or disordered states depending on the orientation or misorientation of the substrate surface. The center section (34a) of the active layer is deposited over a horizontal substrate region (32o), this section thus being in the ordered state and having a lower bandgap energy than terminating sections (34b) grown on inclined substrate regions (32m), therefore having a wider bandgap. The active layer can be terminated in either lateral direction with wider bandgap material whereby devices of a buried structure, with strong carrier confinement, and/or with non-absorbing mirrors, allowing high optical power operation, can be realized.
