    Abstract: A photonic millimeter-wave generator capable of combining wired and wireless communication facilities to further elongate the transmission distance comprises a laser generator for generating a first optical signal; an optical frequency comb generator coupled with the laser generator; and a pulse shaper coupled with the optical frequency comb generator. The optical frequency comb generator receives the first optical signal generated by the laser generator and outputs a second optical signal. The second optical signal contains multiple frequency components and is sent to the pulse shaper. The pulse shaper adjusts the amplitude and phase of the second optical signal and then outputs the signal as a third optical signal.

  • Patent number: 6549686
    Abstract: This specification discloses a reflective optical circulator, which uses an optical reflective device to reflect an incident light beam from an optical port so that the reflected light beams further pass through all optical devices (i.e., all sorts of optical crystals) on the optical paths. With a proper reciprocal-non-reciprocal optical crystal combination, a particular linear polarization direction is generated to guide the reflected beams to the next optical port. The invention achieves the effect of repeatedly using crystals, lowering the number of crystals and the length of the optical circulator. On the other hand, all optical ports can be installed on the same side of the optical circulator, minimizing the device and making it easy to use.

  • Publication number: 20030058536
    Abstract: A multi-port optical isolator includes a plurality of optical input/output ports formed on one side of the isolator, a polarization splitter/combiner, a non-reciprocal polarization rotator module and a non-reciprocal reflector. Light beams entering the input ports can be guided to corresponding output ports while noise beams traveling in reverse direction can be blocked. By using reflective elements for managing the beam path, the length of the isolator can be greatly reduced, and multiple unitary isolators can be built in an isolator with a similar size to that of common single port isolators.

  • Patent number: 6476967
    Abstract: The invention provides a compact optical circulator with three ports positioning between a dual-core collimator and a single-core collimator. The inventive circulator has a propagation director to couple a light from the dual-core collimator to one port of the circulator and another light form the other port of the circulator to the dual-core collimator. The invention further provides a compact optical circulator with three ports having a reflective compensator. The reflective compensator compensates the optical path length of two polarized beams. Furthermore, the invention eliminates the polarization mode dispersion by utilizing a reflective compensator. As well, the inventive circulator forgoes use of the reciprocal polarizing-rotating unit, thus reducing production costs.
