    Abstract: An optical device having a switching function has a waveguide filter for switching whether input signal light of including at least one specific wavelength should be transmitted or reflected. The input signal lights of wavelength of .lambda..sub.1 .about..lambda.n are transmitted to the input waveguide. When the waveguide filter is off, the signal lights of all wavelength are transmitted to the output port. When the waveguide filter is on, the signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.2 .about..lambda.n are transmitted, but the signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.2 is reversed and output to the drop port. If the thin film heaters are off, a signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.1 is output (dropped) from the drop port. If the thin film heaters are on, it is reversed and transmitted to the output port.

    Abstract: An optical speed sensor includes a laser diode 10 that provides a broadband source light 12 to a coupler 18 which provides a source light 22 to a fiber Bragg grating 26 which reflects a first reflection wavelength of light 28 and passes the remainder as a light 30. The light 30 is incident on another fiber Bragg grating 32 which reflects a second reflection wavelength of light 34. The power of an output signal 40 is indicative of the reflected light beams 34,28, and is measured by a photodetector 46. The gratings 26,32 are mounted on a magnetostrictive material 60 which is connected to a permanent magnet 62 which is connected to a material 70 which conducts magnetic fields. The material 60 expands and contracts in response to the strength of magnetic fields therein. The reflection wavelengths for both gratings 26,32 are the same when the tooth 100 is not nearby, thereby causing the output signal 40 to be primarily equal to the reflected light 28. However, when the tooth 100 is nearby, the material 60 and the grating 32 expands causing the reflection wavelengths to separate, thereby causing the power of the output signal 40 to increase. Because both gratings 26,32 are on the same material thermal expansions will have no effect on the sensor measurement. Alternatively, one of the gratings 26,32 may be mounted to the material 70 or the magnet 62. The detection may performed in either reflection or transmission mode.

    Abstract: Optical signal processing devices, primarily intended for use in integrated optical communication systems, include 3 dB coupled strip guide directional couplers. Each coupler is formed in a body of electrooptic material and includes electrodes bracketing at least one of the guides in the coupled region. Each coupler is fabricated so as to be overcoupled (i.e., greater than 3 dB coupling) when the coupling is synchronous. Voltage bias, supplied to the electrodes of each coupler, produces sufficient asynchronism to independently adjust each coupler to the desired 3 dB coupling condition. Permutation switches are produced by including a switchable phase shifter between two couplers. Channel drop filters are produced by including reflection gratings between two couplers. Differential phase detectors, for a pulse code modulation system, are produced by including a selected path length difference between the two strip guides connecting two couplers. A photolithographic technique for producing the required electrodes in precise registry with the strip guide couplers (typically characterized by 3 micrometer spacings) includes the use of the primary strip guide mask and a secondary mask to produce a photolithographic mask for defining the electrodes.
