| 20120020620 | Tunable optical filters with multiple ports - Described are tunable multiport optical filters that filter systems with many optical channels in a convenient and cost-effective manner. The tunable multiport optical filters of the invention are simple in design and have few optical components. The basic elements are a dispersion element and a rotating reflector. With properly arranged arrays of input and output optical fibers, individual wavelength components from a selected input beam are spatially separated and steered by the rotating reflector to selected output locations. The optical properties from the selected components may be measured by one or more photodetectors. The filters are also useful for selecting and routing optical signals. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20080225914 | SYSTEM OF METHOD FOR DYNAMIC RANGE EXTENSION - The present invention generally relates to the operation of optical network equipment such as optical amplifiers. In one aspect, a method of operating an optical amplifier is provided such that output of the optical amplifier avoids the effects of operating an optical gain medium in a non-linear (kink) region of an L-I curve. The method generally includes operating an optical gain medium in a fully off state or fully on state above the kink region with a PWM signal. In another aspect, the effects of the kink region may be compensated for by utilizing a lookup table. A sample of the optical power of an amplified optical signal may be used to select an entry in the lookup table that compensates for non-linearities in the kink region. In yet a further aspect, a lookup table may be used to control a pulse modulator to compensate for non-linearites in the kink region of the L-I curve. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080279237 | DYNAMIC THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF LASER DEVICES - The present invention generally relates to dynamic thermal management of a device. In one aspect, a method for thermally controlling a device is provided. The method includes setting a value of a set point in a thermoelectric cooler, wherein the set point corresponds to a first operating state. The method also includes monitoring a condition of the device to determine if the device is in the first operating state or a second operating state. Additionally, the method includes dynamically altering the value of the set point according to an algorithm upon determination that the device is in the second operating state. In another aspect, a method for dynamically controlling a device having a thermoelectric cooler is provided. In yet a further aspect, a system for dynamic thermal management of a device is provided. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20110001895 | DRIVING MECHANISM FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL BASED OPTICAL DEVICE - An optical device with liquid crystal (LC) cells for conditioning the polarization of incident light includes a drive unit for the LC cells that employs a digital technique. According to this digital technique, the drive unit generates control signals for opposing electrodes of the LC cells based on digital signals that have the same period but differ in phase by up to one-half period. By employing digital signals that differ in phase by up to one-half period with high resolution, the differential voltage across the LC cells can be controlled precisely to a desired RMS value. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20110246788 | DATA SECURITY SYSTEM FOR A DATABASE - A method and an apparatus for processing data provides protection for the data. The data is stored as encrypted data element values (DV) in records (P) in a first database (0-DB), each data element value being linked to a corresponding data element type (DT). In a second database (IAM-DB), a data element protection catalogue (DC) is stored, which for each individual data element type (DT) contains one or more protection attributes stating processing rules for data element values (DV), which in the first database (0-DB) are linked to the individual data element type (DT). In each user-initiated measure which aims at processing a given data element value (DV) in the first database (0-DB), a calling is initially sent to the data element protection catalogue for collecting the protection attribute/attributes associated with the corresponding data element types. The user's processing of the given data element value is controlled in conformity with the collected protection attribute/attributes. | 10-06-2011 |
