Abstract: An optical circuit comprises a bistable optical waveguide (34) having a first and a second transmission state. The waveguide is more transmissive to light of a given wavelength in the second state than in the first state. A first light source (11) and a second light source (21) emit light of a first and second wavelength respectively and are coupled to the waveguide at one end. Selective transmission of a sufficient amount of light of the first wavelength through the waveguide “sets” the waveguide, causing it to switch from the first into the second state, whereas transmission of a sufficient amount of light of the second wavelength “resets” the waveguide causing it to switch back from the second into the first state. A sensing or reading (“test”) light source (36) is arranged at the other end of the waveguide to transmit a sensing light signal through the waveguide (34) in the opposite propagation direction to that of light of the first and second wavelengths. This sensing light source can be an external light source or an “internal” source provided by spontaneous emission in the waveguide. A sensor (38) is arranged to detect the amount of the sensing light signal transmitted through the waveguide (34). In this way the waveguide can be set into a given transmission state, which can be determined at a later time by measuring the amount of the sensing light signal transmitted. The optical circuit therefore exhibits a memory effect and may be used to produce an all-optical bistable logic circuit such as an optical latch or an optical flip-flip. Typically, the waveguide (34) is a doped optical fibre, such as an Erbium-Ytterbium (Er—Yb) doped fibre. Light of the first (set)/second (reset) wavelengths excites or de-excites respectively the dopant ions in the fibre thus tuning its transmission.

Abstract: An optical fiber sensor having a central core, a cladding layer disposed about the central core, and a thin film of lithium niobate positioned between the core and the cladding layer. Each of the cladding layer and the central core are made from glass materials having different indices of refraction. The refractive index of the lithium niobate film changes when stress is applied to the optical fiber sensor. Accordingly, stress may be detected and measured by detecting and measuring the modulation of light passing through the optical fiber sensor while the stress is occurring.

Abstract: Small form factor package structures are disclosed for LiNbO3 optical modulator by reducing the package dimension for minimize the unused free space inside a modulator package. If a first aspect of the invention, the structure of the small form factor package for LiNbO3 optical modulator employs a metal round block having an inner part that is made of zirconia or glass like borosilicate BK7 or Pyrex and the outer part that is made with stainless steel or kovar. The inner and outer parts represent a two-pieces optical fiber assembly that are held together by a resin. In a second aspect of the invention, a surface of the lithium niobate chip is attached to a surface of the metal round block (or a glass block) that results in an angular positioning of the lithium niobate chip inside the optical package, which significantly reduces the mechanical stress induced by different polishing angle of the metal round block as well as the polishing angle of the lithium niobate chip.
