  • Patent number: 10409137
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the energy flux of a light beam (carrier wave) relies on the manipulation of a light beam's Poynting vector to switch the light beam from one optical waveguide to another. A modulator positioned between the two waveguides has an index of refraction n+ik wherein ik is a loss/gain component. It is the manipulation of this loss/gain component ik by an external stimulus which causes anisotropic changes in orthogonal components of the light beam's Poynting vector. This, in turn, causes changes in the propagation distance of the light beam (carrier wave) over a length L along the waveguides that switch the light beam from one waveguide to the other.

  • Patent number: 10126496
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention the switching element of an optical switch for switching/modulating an optical signal from one optical waveguide to another is a reverse bias diode. More particularly, the diode is itself an optical waveguide that has been doped to create a predetermined depletion width, Wd, between the N-type and IP-type regions of the diode. In operation, an optical signal is input into the waveguide/diode in a manner that generates a second order mode for the optical signal. The second order mode optical signal then transits the waveguide/diode back and forth through the depletion width Wd. A switching voltage, V?, which is selectively applied to the waveguide/diode, can then alter the depletion width Wd of the waveguide/diode. Consequently, the propagation interference distance, ?c, of the waveguide/diode will also be changed, to thereby direct the optical signal from one output optical filter to another.

  • Patent number: 10036855
    Abstract: A waveguide/diode is manufactured by taking into account the effect that losses have on a multi-mode optical signal as it transits through the waveguide/diode. In particular, the loss effects that are caused by higher order modes in the optical signal as it passes back and forth through the cross charge region of a PN junction are considered. The consequent stretching of the cross coupling distance for the optical signal is then evaluated to minimize the required length for the waveguide/diode.

  • Publication number: 20180081253
    Abstract: An optical modulator for switching an optical signal of wavelength ? from one waveguide-electrode to another requires that both waveguide-electrodes be made of an electrically conducting material. Also, a non-conducting cross-coupling material fills a slot along a length L between the waveguide-electrodes. Importantly, cross-coupling material in the slot provides a separation distance xc between the waveguide-electrodes that is less than 0.35 microns. When a switching voltage V? is selectively applied to the waveguide-electrodes, a strong uniform electric field E is created within the cross-coupling material. Thus, E modulates the cross-coupling length of the optical signal by an increment ±? each time it passes back and forth through the cross-coupling material along the length L. Thus, after an N number of cross-coupling length cycles along the length L, when N? equals one cross-coupling length, the optical signal is switched from one waveguide-electrode to the other.
