  • Publication number: 20150180446
    Abstract: A crystal resonator includes a blank and a supporting portion. The blank is cut out from a crystal parallel to a surface that includes a X?-axis and a Z?-axis respectively obtained by rotating an X?-axis and a Z?-axis by 45° around a Y?-axis in a direction from the Z?-axis toward the X?-axis. The X?-axis, the Y?-axis, and the Z?-axis are respectively obtained by rotating a crystallographic X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the crystal by equal to or more than +37° and equal to or less than 51.5° around the X-axis. The supporting portion is connected to an outer periphery of the blank at a position near an apex of the reference rectangle and where a displacement of vibration in the X?-axial direction or the Z?-axial direction becomes a local minimum when two longitudinal modes of vibration are coupled.

  • Patent number: 8983244
    Abstract: An optical interferometer for demodulating a differential phase shift keying optical signal includes a planar lightwave circuit and at least one free space delay line optically coupled to the planar lightwave circuit. The planar lightwave circuit has a waveguide splitter, a waveguide coupler, and a phase adjuster. In operation, the splitter splits the optical signal into equal portions, the phase adjuster adjusts the relative phase of the optical signal portions, and the free space delay line provides one-bit delay between the portions of the optical signal. The delayed signals are mixed in the waveguide coupler. The free space delay line can be made variable for adjustment of the bit delay for operation at different bit rates, and/or for optimization of the interferometer performance.
