Abstract: The disclosure provides the fiber optic polarizer that is a conveniently packaged fiber/polarization beamsplitter combination for free space beam and integrated optics application. It eliminates the need for separate the fiber and polarizer, and takes the advantage of easy fabrication and low cost. The fiber optics polarizer is fabricated by fixing the single mode fiber and the polarization maintaining fiber on V-groove chuck. The polarization beamsplitter is fixed on a wafer. The V-groove chuck and the wafer are packaged in the hermetic sealing box with single mode fiber and the polarization maintaining fiber exposed at two opposite lengthwise ends of the box.

Abstract: This invention provides a new AWG deposition system to fabricate a multilayers AWG. In order to manufacture high quality films and reduce the pollution of chemicals, super high density plasma technology is applied to this system because the traditional processes such as MOCVD, PECVD, etc. use toxic chemicals to produce pollution and cause environment problem. The new design also provides a flexible ion sources, targets, power supplies, and mass flow rate controllers which numbers depend on the requirements of the system.

Abstract: As the read capabilities of magnetic disk systems improve due to advanced GMR heads, it becomes necessary to correspondingly reduce the area of recorded data. This requires a narrowing of the stitched sub-pole at the write gap. This has proved difficult for pole widths less than about 0.4 microns because of problems in filling the mold. In the present invention this is overcome by introducing a layer of PMGI (polydimethylglutarimide) between the planarized positive photoresist layer that comprises the mold and the non-magnetic write gap layer on which the mold rests. This greatly facilitates formation of a high aspect ratio hole with a clean flat bottom and essentially vertical sides as well as the subsequent removal of the photoresist after said hole has been filled through electroplating to form a stitched sub-pole.
