Abstract: A method and apparatus for writing a Bragg grating in a photosensitive optical waveguide is disclosed. The novel method comprises an interferometer having precisely adjustable light collecting and directing components. A phase mask illuminated with ultraviolet light is used as the interferometer light source. The adjustability of the interferometer allows the writing of Bragg gratings for filtering wavelengths in the range 1275 nm to 1575 nm while adjusting the appropriate interferometer elements by only +/-0.75.degree. each.

Abstract: An optical system for coupling a laser radiation source to a circularly symmetric single-mode optical fiber. The laser radiation source produces a beam of light having an elliptical mode field. The input end of a coupling fiber, which has a core that is elliptically-shaped in cross-section, is situated in light receiving relationship with respect to the source. The coupling fiber is oriented with respect to the source such that the mode field of the source is aligned with the coupling fiber core to provide the most efficient coupling of light from the source to the fiber. Means such as an evanescent coupler couples light from the output end of the fiber to the circularly symmetric fiber.

Abstract: Thermoelectric heat pumps are individually located at multiple flexures functioning to support a primary mirror which mirror reflects light from an aluminum mask onto a semiconductor wafer. The heat pumps are selectively energized to apply thermal stresses by heat or cold application at the flexures into the primary mirror suspension to compensate for distortions in the image transfer between the mask and the semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: A method for side writing Bragg gratings, having minimal birefringence, in a waveguide structure is disclosed. The method employs the orientation of the polarization direction of the writing light beam relative to the long axis of the waveguide structure together with the orientation of the intrinsic birefringence slow axis to effectively minimize birefringence in the subject grating.

Abstract: A variable period amplitude grating mask for use in making a long period Bragg grating is realized by a helically coiled spring. Stretching or compressing the spring changes the periodicity of the mask. A photosensitive optical waveguide, planar or fiber, is positioned within the spring coils along the major axis of the spring. Actinic radiation is incident on the masked waveguide, and induces an index perturbation in the waveguide having the periodicity of the mask. Different spring coil sizes and/or orientation of the waveguide with respect to the mask provide linear and nonlinear (chirped) grating periods. A device and method are described.
