Patent number: 10637603Abstract: In an example, a communication module includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and a periodical filter. The optical transmitter is configured to emit an outbound optical signal. The optical receiver is configured to receive an inbound optical signal. A first frequency of the outbound optical signal is offset from a second frequency of the inbound optical signal by an amount less than a channel spacing of a multiplexer/demultiplexer implemented in an optical communication system that includes the communication module. The periodical filter is positioned in optical paths of both the outbound optical signal and the inbound optical signal and has a transmission spectrum with periodic transmission peaks and troughs. The first frequency of the outbound optical signal may be aligned to one of the transmission peaks and the second frequency of the inbound optical signal may be aligned to one of the transmission troughs, or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Finisar CorporationInventors: Leo Yu-Yu Lin, Huade Shu, Huiping Li, Li Zhang, Shanshan Zeng, Guangsheng Li

Patent number: 6879749Abstract: An optical device for demultiplexing an optical signal comprises a grating that receives an optical signal comprising a plurality of wavelength channels, and generates a plurality of spatially separated light beams. Each light beam is associated with a particular wavelength channel. The optical device further comprises an optical element that at least partially compensates a temperature based frequency shift associated with the spatially separated light beams. The optical device further comprises a plurality of lenses and a plurality of fibers. The plurality of lenses are arranged such that a spacing between at least a pair of lenses is determined to at least partially compensate a non-linearity introduced by the grating. Each fiber is associated with a corresponding lens and receives a corresponding light beam. At least one fiber is placed a distance that is less than a focal length associated with its corresponding lens.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: EC-Optics Technology Inc.Inventors: Seng-leong Wong, Leo Yu-Yu Lin, YanQing Lu

Patent number: 6847786Abstract: A wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing device is presented utilizing a polarization-based filter to separate odd and even wavelengths, or upper and lower channels of an input optical signal. The wavelength filter first converts the input signal to a predetermined polarization. A series of birefringent waveplates provide a polarization-dependent optical transmission function such that the polarized beam is decomposed into a first beam component carrying the first spectral band at a first polarization and a second beam component carrying the second spectral band at a second, orthogonal polarization. A beam displacer spatially separates the beam components into a pair of orthogonally-polarized beams. A quarter-wave plate converts these orthogonally-polarized beams into a pair of circularly-polarized beams, which are reflected by a mirror back along parallel optical paths through the quarter-wave plate, beam displacer, and waveplates.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2000Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: EC-Optics Technology, Inc.Inventors: Charles Wong, Leo Yu-Yu Lin, Jian-Yu Liu
