Patent number: 6856767Abstract: The present invention provides an optical signal quality selection system for optimizing the quality of information transmission. The system splits an incoming optical signal into two equal signals. The split signals are evaluated in optical performance monitors, transmitting an electrical output message to a signal selector relating to the quality of the respective signal. A second electrical message is sent from the optical performance generator to an alarm indicator signal generator, which sends an optical signal to the signal selector to drop the one of the split signals and transmit the non-dropped split signal. An unequipped optical signal from an optical idle signal generator is triggered if no active optical signal is being transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2001Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Alphion CorporationInventors: Mohammad Laham, Raj Acharya, Roman Antosik, Jayantha Das, Bharat Dave, Chinnabbu Ekambaram, Khem Gandhi, Frank Hujber, David Lowe, Frederick Renner, Jiten Sarathy, Ronald Simprini, Boris Stefanov, Tan Thai, Ravi Vora

Patent number: 6777252Abstract: A method of efficiently testing optical chips while still on the wafer is presented. One or more gutters for each chip on the wafer is provided, and either (1) a test signal is applied to the gutter to generate a response from the chip; or (2) a test signal is applied to the chip to generate a response from the gutter, where the gutter is in optical communication with the chip, and can reflect light incident or outgoing light at substantially a ninety degree angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Alphion CorporationInventor: Jiten Sarathy

Patent number: 6727991Abstract: A method and circuit are presented for an all-optical format independent preprocessor that processes an arbitrary optical input signal by converting a NRZ signal to a PRZ signal, or if the input optical signal is RZ, by merely amplifying it. The method involves subtracting a delayed copy of the signal from the original, thereby effectively doubling its frequency, and inserting a pulse at each transition of the original signal, whether rising or falling. In a preferred embodiment this stage is implemented via an integrated SOA in each arm of an asymmetric interferometric device. The asymmetry consists of a delay element in one arm. In a preferred embodiment the entire device is fabricated on a semiconductor substrate, allowing for compactness as well as minimization of interconnectivity losses and overall power consumption. The output of the preprocessor, having a significant frequency component at its original clock rate, can then be fed to a clock recovery stage for all-optical clock recovery.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2002Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Alphion CorporationInventors: Julio Martinez, Kwang Kim, Olga Nedzhvetskaya, Doruk Engin, Jiten Sarathy, Roman Antosik, Bharat Dave, Michael Evans, David Lidsky, Ronald Simprini, Boris Stefanov, Tan Thai

Patent number: 6459826Abstract: An optical switch comprises a programmable optical polarization unit (POLCON) which receives an input optical signal and selects an output signal polarization in response to a control signal. A polarization beam splitter (PBS) splits the selected polarization signal from the POLCON into a first and second orthogonally polarized signals. A feedback circuit couples a feedback signal indicative of the optical signal strength of at least one of the orthogonally polarized signals back to the POLCON which uses it to adjust the output signal polarization. The optical switch may be used with input optical signals having fixed or varying polarizations by utilizing a single or two feedback signals, respectively. The optical switch may be used as an optical Add/Drop unit or incorporated as part of a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal Add/Drop unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2000Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Luc Boivin, Jiten Sarathy

Patent number: 6400860Abstract: A wavelength selective polarization beam device uses waveguide grating routers (WGRs) having birefringent grating waveguides. When the device is used as a splitter it separates different wavelength channels of a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal as well as the orthogonal polarization components of each wavelength channel. Since the WGR device is reciprocal, it can also be used as a combiner to combine the orthogonal polarization components of each wavelength channel into a WDM signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Sethumadhavan Chandrasekhar, Jiten Sarathy
