Abstract: Wavelength dispersion in an optical demultiplexer is accomplished by varying propagation constants of a central pathway traverse to the direction of wavefront propagation through the central pathway. The propagation constant can be varied by changing the dimensions or refractive qualities of the central pathway, which can be formed as a common waveguide or as a plurality of individual waveguides.

Abstract: A single mode optical waveguide having reduced polarization mode dispersion and a method for making such a waveguide is disclosed. Perturbations are introduced into the waveguide core to couple power between the two polarization modes. A model calculation shows that the perturbation length may be of the order of the correlation length. The inventive waveguide is robust in that polarization mode dispersion is reduced even if perturbations are impressed on the fiber after manufacture.

Abstract: Disclosed is a single mode optical waveguide fiber having periodic perturbations in the core to provide a birefringence which mixes the polarization modes of launched light. In addition, perturbations are introduced into the core which serve to manage total dispersion. The total dispersion of pre-selected segments of the waveguide are caused to change sign so that the sum of products, total dispersion times length, algebraically add to a pre-selected value. The two distinct core perturbation types serve to control both polarization mode dispersion and total dispersion. Methods for making the subject waveguide are also discussed.

Abstract: A single-mode optical waveguide fiber designed to limit power penalty due to four wave mixing and a method of making the waveguide is disclosed. Variations in properties, e.g., radius or refractive index, of the waveguide fiber core provide a total dispersion which varies along the length of the waveguide. The algebraic sum of products of length times total dispersion is controlled to a pre-selected value for each waveguide fiber which makes up a system link. Proper choice of total dispersion variation magnitude and sub-length results in a system link wherein a signal travels only short distances in waveguide portions having total dispersion near zero. However, the variation of the total dispersion provides a system link which has a pre-selected dispersive effect on the signal over a selected wavelength range. The dispersive effect on the signal can be chosen to be essentially zero. A number of techniques for fabricating DM fiber are also disclosed.

Abstract: A planar optical waveguide comprises a substrate 1, a waveguide core layer 2, at least one planar optical element, wherein said planar optical element comprises at least one optically functional interface 3 which is adjacent to a cavity 4, and an overclad layer 5. The cavity enhances the optical characteristics of the planar optical element because of the substantial difference in the refractive index of the cavity as compared to the refractive index of said waveguide core layer.

Abstract: A novel optical waveguide fiber having low total dispersion slope, relatively large mode field diameter, larger effective area, and a relatively simple core profile design is disclosed. The core refractive index profile comprises three segments (2,4,6). The adjustability of the height, width and location of the three core index profile segments, provides sufficient flexibility to meet a specification which calls for a dispersion shifted waveguide fiber capable of limiting four photon mixing or self phase modulation. The novel waveguide is characterized by a mode field diameter ≥ 7.5 microns and a total dispersion slope ≤ 0.070 ps/nm -km.

Abstract: A multi-lens apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical fiber having a core region defining an optical axis and a GRIN-fiber lens positioned in relation to one end of the optical fiber. A biconic lens including an external surface defined by two different curves disposed substantially orthogonal to one another, a major curve C 1 and a minor curve C 2 , with C 1 and C 2 intersecting at or near the optical axis is positioned in relation to an end of the GRIN-fiber lens remote from the fiber. A method of manufacturing a multi-lens apparatus for altering the mode field of an optical signal, and an optical assembly are also disclosed.

Abstract: electronics, optics. SUBSTANCE: single-mode fiber-optical waveguide is designed to diminish energy loss caused by four- wave shift. Waveguide includes region of glass core having profile of distribution of refractive index and surrounded by layer of glass jacket with refractive index nc less than at least part of profile of refractive index of specified region of glass core. Waveguide includes collection of sections along its length and has variable total dispersion which changes its sign from positive to negative and from negative to positive from one section to another section along length of waveguide. Variable total dispersion includes at least first total dispersion Di of one sign over some sections and second total dispersion Dj of opposite sign over other sections. Each section comprises segments ( (dli,dlj) ). Each segment has corresponding constant total dispersion ( (Di,Dj) ) and length of wave of zero dispersion lambda0 varies along length of waveguide between first range including wave lengths from 1480 to 1535 nm with total dispersion equal to Di and second range including wave lengths from 1565 to 1680 nm with total dispersion equal to Dj. Communication line in which sections of signal transmission having zero dispersion have small length is formed by proper selection of changes of values of total dispersion and lengths of sections. Change of total dispersion leads to fact that communication line exerts dispersion effect specified in advance on passing signal in specified range of lengths of waves. In agreement with invention properties of waveguide selected from group including geometry of waveguide, refractive index of waveguide, profile of distribution of waveguide and composition of waveguide are altered to change dispersion along length of waveguide. EFFECT: invention provides for reduction of optical losses and dispersion to specified value. 14 cl, 38 dwg _
