Nevertheless, undesirable performance of the present planar waveguide lenses remains to be one of the major obstacles toward eventual realization of planar integrated optic modules and circuits for wideband signal processing applications. The present planar waveguide lenses suffer from undesirable performance characteristics that include small light beam aperture, high optical loss, critical tolerance in lens placement and separation, and long focal length. Large focal length will result in a large substrate size and, thus, high optical through-put loss, severe waveguide scattering, and high ultimate cost. In this paper we report on a LiNbO3 spherical waveguide structure that simultaneously serves to guide, collimate, and focus the light beams.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131890712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of particular importance, an InP photoconductor has been used as a mixer through the gating of an electrical signal applied to the photoconductor by means of optically generated carriers. This type of mixer makes use of Auston [4] switches whereby the switching is introduced optically and the signal to be gated is introduced electrically. We refer to this type of mixer as \"optically gated\". In contrast the mixer reported here is \"electrically gated\". It works on the reverse principle in that the signal to be gated is introduced optically and the gating is achieved by varying the electrical bias of the mixer. The fact that the signals are introduced optically provides excellent isolation and subsequently permits the construction of broadband switching matrices [5] and the monolithic integration of photoconductive devices [6]. This mixer has been observed to operate at frequencies higher than 4 GHz, which is significantly greater than that reported in other heterodyne schemes. Also, a signal gain of 17 dB over that of conventional detection under a DC bias condition has been achieved.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134303896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The next step in the development of guided wave technology is to integrate several devices on a single substrate and to use the integrated device in a practical application. To this end, there is a clear need to further explore methods for permanently bonding large linear arrays of single mode fibers to waveguides. The principal challenge is to develop a technique that can maintain the required submicron accuracy over distances on the order of several millimeters. In reference 1, we reported on the attachment of V-grooved silicon chip arrays (with two fibers per array) to waveguides in LiNbO3. Here, we report on the extension of this technique to larger arrays. Specifically, we have permanently bonded arrays of six and twelve fibers to both ends of straight waveguides in lithium niobate. In both cases, low excess loss (average 0.3dB per interface) was measured. These are the largest arrays and the lowest excess losses reported in the literature. The six element structure (fiber-waveguide-fiber) was subjected to environmental testing with favorable results.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124296148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In single mode implementations the critical device is the multiplexer because, unlike the demultiplexer, the input and output fibers must have nearly identical cores. This results in pass-bands with a Gaussian shape. As the dispersion of the lens-grating combination is linear the ratio of channel width to channel separation is maximized when the cores are nearly close packed. For single mode it is impractical to accomplish this with actual fiber because the outer diameters become unacceptably small. The alternative is to obtain the required separation using strip waveguides. The waveguides may have an initial spacing appropriate for fiber pigtailing which can then be gradually reduced to the desired value. In this summary we report on the first such implementation.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133636156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
