Abstract: A light filtering assembly comprises an input section, a filtering section, and an output section. The input section divides the input beam into a plurality of polarized monochromatic beamlets that travel along a corresponding plurality of spatially separated beam paths by means of a polarization converter and a diffraction grating. The polarized monochromati c beamlets comprise a plurality of desired beamlets corresponding to the desir ed wavelength components of the input beam. The filtering section passes the disered beamlets blocks the unwanted beamlets. The output section combines t he desired beamlets so as to form the output beam. Because the beamlets are linearly polarized, the input and output section are able to realize a high throughput efficiency.

Abstract: A multi-fiber optical collimator includes a plurality of optical fibers for carrying optical signals, a first lens and a beam expander. The first lens has first and second sides and a first focal length. The first side of the first lens is positioned a distance of about the first focal length from first ends of the optical fibers. The beam expander has first and second sides and the first side of the beam expander is positioned to face the second side of the first lens. The second side of the beam expander provides collimated beams associated with the optical signals carried by the optical fibers.

Abstract: A variable optical amplifier mounts (10) a fiber coupler (24) within a flexu re (42) that provides for deflecting one section of the coupler with respect to another about a tapered intermediate section for controlling transmissions through the coupler (24). The flexure has a free portion suspended by a pair of resilient arms (50, 52) for relatively deflecting the coupler (24) sectio ns while minimizing friction and maintaining a fixed angular orientation with a n actuator. A kinematic link between the flexure and the actuator is thermally compensated not only at a given deflection position but throughout the entir e intended range of operation.

Abstract: A light dispersing device for dispersing a polychromatic input beam into a plurality of narrow-band output beams such that the output beams are directed in a wavelength dependent manner and such that the directions of the output beams are less affected by a change in temperature. The preferred embodiment of the device comprises a diffraction grating mounted to a surface of a prism. The grating and prism have dispersing characteristics that make the output of the device substantially insensitive to a change in temperature. In one embodiment, the device is adapted to reduce the angles between the input beam and the output beams at the grating, and thereby improve throughput efficiency.
