  • Optical mode converter
    Patent number: 6937789
    Abstract: An optical mode converter comprising an optical guide able to transmit an optical signal in at least one guided mode, characterised in that the optical guide comprises a photosensitive zone inducing a specific index profile along a section of the guide, the said index profile simultaneously defining a longitudinal adiabatic transition and a transverse distribution of the guided mode or modes so as to deconfine the fundamental mode and to maximise the overlap with a higher-order mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2005
    Assignee: Avanex Corporation
