  • Spatial separation of optical frequency components using photonic crystals
    Patent number: 7796849
    Abstract: Disclosed are various devices and methods employing photonic crystals to facilitate spatial separation of frequency components of a beam. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes a preconditioning waveguide facilitating a predefined amount of diffraction of a beam comprising a plurality of wavelengths. A photonic crystal is optically coupled to an output of the preconditioning waveguide. The photonic crystal is configured to spatially separate a plurality of frequency components of the beam.
    Type: Grant

  • Spatial Separation of Optical Frequency Components Using Photonic Crystals
    Publication number: 20090174882
    Abstract: Disclosed are various devices and methods employing photonic crystals (103, 126) to facilitate spatial separation of frequency components of a beam. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes a preconditioning waveguide (106, 306) facilitating a predefined amount of diffraction of a beam comprising a plurality of wavelengths. A photonic crystal (103, 126) is optically coupled to an output of the preconditioning waveguide (106, 306). The photonic crystal is configured to spatially separate a plurality of frequency components of the beam.
