Abstract: Resistive heaters formed in two mask counts on a surface of a grating of a thermo optic device thereby eliminating one mask count from prior art manufacturing methods. The resistive heater is comprised of a heater region and a conductive path region formed together in a first mask count from a relatively high resistance material. A conductor formed from a relatively low resistance material is formed directly on the conductive path region in a second mask count. Thermo optic devices formed by these two mask count methods are also described.

Abstract: A free space tunable filter produces a passband output as a result of sequential processing by an array of narrowband tunable filters (NBTFs) each tuned to a slIghtly different frequency. The present invention is comprised of one or more stages having multiple interleaved sectors and comprising an array of NBTFs having a masked outer surface reflective coating. Stages cascading is used to increase the device figure of merit and single stages are partitioned into multiple sectors that process a specific interleaved region of the bandwidth. Final stage output group passband signals are combined in a multiplexer and tapped with a partially transparent photodetector.

Abstract: An optical device is configured to perform both switching and attenuation of an optical beam in response to a single control signal. The optical device includes a liquid-crystal-based beam-polarizing element having polarization-conditioning regions that are controlled using a common electrode. The first polarization-conditioning region conditions the polarization of the input beam in order to separate the input beam into a primary component and a residual component. The second and third polarization-conditioning regions change the polarization of the primary component and the residual component, respectively. The primary component is directed to an output port after it has been attenuated based on its polarization state. The residual component, after passing through the third polarization-conditioning region, has its intensity further reduced based on its polarization state.

Abstract: Optical devices including waveguide grating structures are described. In accordance with one embodiment, an optical device is provided comprising a horizontal waveguide grating structure having at least one waveguiding layer and at least one subwavelength periodic grating layer. The optical device further comprises upper and lower cladding layers immediately adjoining respective upper and lower surfaces of the waveguide grating structure and having refractive indices lower than a lowest-index one of the waveguiding layers, incident radiation propagating through one of the upper and lower cladding layers toward the waveguide grating structure. The waveguide grating structure is configured for peak reflection of the incident radiation at a peak reflection frequency. A cumulative thickness of the waveguiding layers is less than one tenth of a free space wavelength of the incident radiation at the peak reflection frequency divided by an average refractive index of the waveguiding layers.

Abstract: An optical continuum source is formed that is used to generate both a continuum and one or more light peaks outside the bandwidth of the continuum. In particular, one or more fiber Bragg gratings exhibiting a resonant wavelength less than the short wavelength edge (or greater than the long wavelength edge) of a predetermined continuum are inscribed into a section of highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and used to generate the additional light peaks. Gratings may also be formed for areas along the fiber where the continuum spectral power density is essentially “zero”. It has been discovered that the use of a Bragg grating generates phase matching with the propagating optical signal, thus resulting in the creation of the additional peaks.

Abstract: A photosensitive sol-gel film containing an organometallic photosensitizer is deposited on the oxide containing surface layer of a silicon substrate. A pattern of white or ultra violet light incident to the photosensitive sol-gel film results in the unbinding of the photosensitizer from the exposed regions of the sol-gel film. A subsequent succession of first and second heating steps results in, first, the removal of the photo sensitizer constituents from the exposed regions of the sol-gel film and, second, the removal of the organic constituents from the exposed regions, resulting in regions doped with a metal oxide with non linear optical properties, such as semicondutive, etc. properties. Optical switches, couplers, waveguides, splitters, interferometers wavelength division multiplexer, Bragg gratings and more can be fabricated. A glass substrate also may be employed, instead of a silicon, in which case a separate silicon oxide surface layer is unnecessary.
