Patent
Optical channel waveguide amplifier
TL;DR: In this article, an optical channel waveguide amplifier and fabrication process for an optical communications system is described. But the authors do not specify the exact design of the optical waveguide, only that it has an active material exhibiting optical fluorescence when stimulated.
Patent
Optical amplifier and process for amplifying an optical signal propagating in a fiber optic employing an overlay waveguide and stimulated emission
TL;DR: In this article, a side-polished fiber/overlay waveguide architecture and process for non-invasively implementing an optical amplifier are provided for an optical communications system.
Patent
Compound optical waveguide and filter applications thereof
TL;DR: In this paper, a compound waveguide device with a channel waveguide (60) in optical proximity to an elongate waveguide propagating an optical signal was shown to be a side-polished fiber optic waveguide.
Patent
Method for fabricating an optical waveguide
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method in which a separate preformed optical material is suitably sized for easy handling, manipulation, and fabrication into a waveguide having a core (formed from the optical material) having transverse cross-sectional dimensions on the order of only tens of microns.
Patent
Optical amplifier and process for amplifying an optical signal propagating in a fiber optic
TL;DR: In this article, a side-polished fiber/overlay waveguide architecture and process for non-invasively implementing an optical amplifier are provided for an optical communications system, where the overlay waveguide exhibits a nonlinear response of second order, and non-linear frequency conversion is employed to down-convert a high-power, short-wavelength pump signal into the waveguide to amplify the optical energy coupled thereto.
