  • Patent number: 6907159
    Abstract: An arrangement is provided for a configurable optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) assembly. The configurable OADM assembly comprises at least one configurable optical add/drop multiplexer (C-OADM) device and at least one optical switch associated with the C-OADM devices (the minimum configuration is only one C-OADM with bypass (expansion) switches). The switches can be configured so that some of the C-OADM devices can be selected to carry out wavelength operations. Each of the selected C-OADM devices may be further configured to perform wavelength manipulations such as dropping a wavelength channel, tapping a wavelength channel, adding a wavelength channel with full power level, and a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 5682453
    Abstract: A method of bonding glass-based optical elements comprising the steps of positioning a first glass-based optical element relative to a second glass-based optical element, applying a glass-based bonding compound about the first and second optical elements, and applying sufficient localized heat to the glass-based bonding compound to cause the glass-based bonding compound to soften and fuse with the optical elements.

  • Patent number: 5355426
    Abstract: A broadband optical fiber coupler comprising at least three continuous optical fibers fused at a region of coupling, at least one of the continuous optical fibers being dissimilar to others of the continuous optical fibers in the region of coupling, the region of coupling being of a length and the dissimilarity being of a degree to provide broadband response over a predetermined range of wavelengths. A related method for making a broadband optical fiber coupler is also disclosed.
