Method Of Index Trimming A Waveguide And Apparatus Formed Of The Same

View page
US Patent:
6768850, Jul 27, 2004
Filed:
Aug 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/930929
Inventors:
Mark Dugan - Ann Arbor MI
William Clark - Pittsford NY
Ali A. Said - Ann Arbor MI
Robert L. Maynard - Gregory MI
Philippe Bado - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
Translume, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G02B 602
US Classification:
385124
Abstract:
A method of using a beam of ultra-short laser pulses, having pulse durations below 10 picoseconds, to adjust an optical characteristic within an optical medium is provided. The beams would have an intensity above a threshold for altering the index of refraction of a portion of the optical medium. The beams could be selectively applied to the optical medium and any structures formed or existing therein. Thus, the beam could be moved within a waveguide in the optical medium to alter the index of refraction of the waveguide forming any number of different longitudinal index of refraction profiles. The beam could also be moved within the optical medium near the waveguide to alter an effective index of refraction of a signal traveling within the waveguide. The techniques described can be used to improve, alter or correct performance of waveguide-based optical devices, such as arrayed waveguide gratings and cascaded planar waveguide interferometers.

US Patent:
7294454, Nov 13, 2007
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/676972
Inventors:
Ali A. Said - Ann Arbor MI, US
Mark A. Dugan - Ann Arbor MI, US
Thomas Sosnowski - Pinckney MI, US
Philippe Bado - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Translume, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G11C 13/04
US Classification:
430321, 430320, 2191216, 21912185, 21912167, 21912189
Abstract:
A method of writing a waveguide using an ultrashort laser beam is disclosed. The laser beam is directed to a substrate in transverse relation to a waveguide propagation axis to generate an ultrashort laser pulse focus in the substrate. A refractive index is modified in an affected region in the substrate along the waveguide propagation axis via the ultrashort laser pulse focus, and the ultrashort laser pulse focus is moved in a direction other than the waveguide propagation axis to generate a widened affected region along the waveguide propagation axis. The widened affected region has a cross-sectional profile capable of supporting a fundamental mode of a signal having a telecommunications infrared (TIR) wavelength, while the affected region has a cross-sectional profile incapable of supporting the fundamental mode of the signal having the TIR wavelength.

US Patent:
7324207, Jan 29, 2008
Filed:
Apr 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/112245
Inventors:
Sean Kirkpatrick - Stone Ridge VA, US
Ali A. Said - Ann Arbor MI, US
Mark Allen Dugan - Ann Arbor MI, US
Thomas Sosnowski - Pickney MI, US
Philippe Bado - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Translume, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G01B 9/02
US Classification:
356478, 385 12
Abstract:
An optical device is useful for analyzing an optical signal pulse to determine information related to the pulse, such as information related to its temporal coherence length. The optical device generally includes a plurality of interferometric devices to generate one or more respective interference patterns from the optical signal pulse, and a plurality of detectors associated with each respective interferometric device to receive the one or more respective interference patterns. At least one of the plurality of interferometric devices is disposed in a glass substrate. The optical device may be integrated in an optical correlation system having an analyzer coupled to the plurality of detectors to determine the temporal coherence length or other pulse-related information for the optical signal pulse based on the received interference patterns.

Tapered, Single-Mode Optical Connector

View page
US Patent:
7329050, Feb 12, 2008
Filed:
Mar 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372609
Inventors:
Mark A. Dugan - Ann Arbor MI, US
Ali A. Said - Ann Arbor MI, US
Philippe Bado - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Translume, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G02B 6/38
US Classification:
385 55, 385 44, 385 45
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an optical device, such as a connector or mode enlarger, and a method of fabricating the device. The disclosed device includes an optical medium having a first face for, e. g. , permanent attachment to a waveguide, a second face for, e. g. , a non-permanent connection, and a region between the first and second faces. A non-fiber, connector waveguide is disposed in the region to propagate the single-mode signal from the first face to the second face. The connector waveguide is optically matched to the waveguide at the first face to receive the single-mode signal carried by the waveguide. The connector waveguide includes a taper section such that the connector waveguide is enlarged at the second face to support an expanded beam of the single-mode signal for propagation through the non-permanent connection. In some cases, the taper section receives the single-mode signal from an input section of the connector waveguide to generate an expanded or narrowed beam of the single-mode signal via discrete modulation of waveguide cross-section. An output section of the connector waveguide then supports the propagation of the expanded or narrowed beam of the single-mode signal through the non-permanent connection.

US Patent:
7450235, Nov 11, 2008
Filed:
Jan 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/037625
Inventors:
Ali A. Said - Ann Arbor MI, US
Philippe Bado - Ann Arbor MI, US
Mark Allen Dugan - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Translume, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
356436, 356432
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method to monitor the condition of a fluid by measuring multiple optical properties of the fluid. The apparatus comprises of a body , at least one fluidic cavity to capture a fluid sample, at least one light source to emit an optical signal and at least one optical detector to detect the optical signal. The fluid sample is collected continuously from a path of a fluid flow and multiple optical properties are measured in real time to determine the condition of the fluid. The apparatus is installed in-line with the path of the fluid flow in the system for which the fluid is being used and monitored. The apparatus avoids environmental contamination and wastage of the fluid sample by returning the fluid sample back into the fluid flow.
