Abstract: An improved ion conductor layer for use in electrochromic devices and other applications is disclosed. The improved ion-conductor layer is comprised of at least two ion transport layers and a buffer layer, wherein the at least two ion transport layers and the buffer layer alternate within the ion conductor layer such that the ion transport layers are in communication with a first and a second electrode. Electrochromic devices utilizing such an improved ion conductor layer color more deeply by virtue of the increased voltage developed across the ion conductor layer prior to electronic breakdown while reducing the amount of electronic leakage. Also disclosed are methods of making electrochromic devices incorporating the improved ion conductor layer disclosed herein and methods of making ion conductors for use in other applications.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a control system in which the phase shift between drive signals of an optical modulator can be reliably detected and compensated by a simple configuration. To this end, a control apparatus of the invention, for an optical modulator generating a signal light of a CS-RZ modulation system or the like by two LN modulators connected in series, detects the phase shift between drive signals given to the former and latter stage LN modulators, or judges the phase shift between the drive signals based on intensity information of the electric spectrum of the signal light output from the optical modulator, to control the phases of the drive signals so as to minimize the phase shift. As a result, the phase shift between the drive signals can be reliably detected and compensated by an electric circuit with a simple configuration.

Abstract: An optical parametric oscillator includes a source of coherent energetic pump optical signals and an optical resonator cavity which includes a set of optical parametric amplifying (OPA) crystals and a set of optical elements such as mirrors disposed along an optical path. The optical elements are configured (1) to direct an oscillation optical signal generated by the OPA crystals along the optical path, (2) to provide input coupling of the energetic pump optical signals such that each energetic pump optical signal travels through only one of the OPA crystals to result in a corresponding depleted pump optical signal, and (3) to provide output coupling of the depleted pump optical signals to prevent each depleted pump optical signal from traveling through more than one of the OPA crystals. Resonator cavities have multiple-leg configurations, including “L” and “U” shapes, and either linear (or standing-wave) or ring architectures. The pump source may employ wavefront division or alternatively amplitude division of a single relatively high-power optical pump beam.

Abstract: In a method of phase adjustment for the demodulator 1 of the present invention, the phase adjustment is performed by driving any one of the heaters on the two waveguides 10 and 11 in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) 6 and on the two waveguides 14 and 15 in the MZI 7. In case that an initial phase difference between the MZIs 6 and 7 smaller than a required phase difference as π/2 therebetween, the heaters C and D are driven, that are formed on the first waveguide 10 in the MZI 6, and the heaters G and H are driven, that are formed on the second waveguide 15 in the MZI 7. In case that the initial phase difference is larger than the required phase difference (π/2) therebetween, the heaters A and B formed on the second waveguide 11 in the MZI 6, and the heaters E and F formed on the first waveguide 14 in the MZI 7 are driven.

Abstract: An optical parametric amplifier of the invention comprises a nonlinear amplification section to which a signal light and a pump light are injected via a coupler. The nonlinear amplification section is constructed by connecting in multiple stages a plurality of polarization retaining highly nonlinear optical fibers (HNLFs) having mutually different zero-dispersion wavelengths and dispersion slopes. The zero-dispersion wavelengths of the HNLFs are on the short wavelength side of a pump light wavelength, and are shorter towards the output side HNLF. Furthermore, the arrangement is set such that the dispersion slopes of the HNLFs become steeper towards the output side HNLF. As a result, it is possible to realize an optical parametric amplifier that is high gain and broadband.

Abstract: An optical tunable laser design (100) for the optic telecommunication industry is disclosed in this invention. This new design is economical, reliable, robust and with superior optical performances. The design offers broadband tunability, high output power, narrow laser line-width and high SMSR. And in addition, the tunable laser is distinguishable from conventional designs by the mere facts that there are no moving parts, therefore, making it very reliable, and the tuning method of this invention is non-thermal and non-mechanical making its tuning very fast in the sub-millisecond range. In the manufacturing front, it is low cost and easy to produce. It can be achieved with automation equipment like those used in the IC placement and PC assembly industry, therefore, the products as that disclosed in this invention can be provided with significantly reduced production costs and marketed with very competitive price. The side-mode-suppression ratio (SMSR) is further increased by implementing an etalon (128) having a specific fineness to cooperate with the Acousto-optical tuning filter (AOTF) (120).
