20080226216OPTICAL DEVICES WITH INTEGRAL ISOLATORS - An isolator assembly, for use internally within a multi-port optical switch, and which operates on a preselected number of input port channels. The assembly incorporates a sequence of a birefringent crystal with a half wave plate on part of its output face acting as a linear polarizer, a 45° Faraday rotator element and a half wave plate aligned at 22.5° to the polarization direction of the light rotated by the Faraday rotator. This arrangement ensures that any light spuriously returned from a reflective beam switching element of the switch is blocked from transmission out of the paths of light which the isolator assembly covers because of the orientation of the light polarization returned to the birefringent crystal. The isolator assembly is arranged such that it does not cover the beam path leading to the output port or ports, such that legitimate output beams are transmitted unhindered.09-18-2008

20090219601Multi-channel Chromatic Dispersion Compensator - A multi-wavelength device to compensate for chromatic dispersion in an optical transmission by inducing a phase shift which varies quadratically as a function of the different frequencies within the transmission. The quadratic phase variation can be applied by dispersing the input optical signal such that different wavelength components are spatially spread, and disposing an array of phase shifting elements along the dispersion direction, such that different wavelengths pass through different phase shifting elements. The elements are actuated to provide a phase shift which varies at least partially quadratically along the dispersion axis, and thus generates at least a partially quadratic phase variation to the wavelength components. This compensates for a phase shift having a quadratic dependence on frequency, generated as a result of the chromatic dispersion. The device is tunable, such that changes in chromatic dispersion can be compensated for dynamically.09-03-2009
20110033151OPTICAL WAVELENGTH SELECTIVE ROUTER - A fiber-optical, wavelength selective switch, especially for channel routing with equalization and blocking applications. The input signals are converted to light beams having predefined polarizations (02-10-2011
20110234951Multi-Pole Optical Signal Switch - An optical switch having multiple input and output ports directs any number of WDM signals, each arriving at a respective input port, to any one of the output ports. The optical switch includes an array of LC pixels, each positioned to receive a WDM signal transmitted through one of the ports, and an array of reflective elements, each associated with one of the LC pixels. The LC pixels are controlled to cause a WDM signal incident thereon to attain an attenuation state while an output of the WDM signal is being switched by an associated reflective element, such that when an output for a WDM signal is switched from a first port to a second port, the switching can be performed in a hitless manner.09-29-2011
