  • Method And Apparatus For Optical Transmission

  • US Patent:
    6522673, Feb 18, 2003
  • Filed:
    Apr 20, 2000
  • Appl. No.:
    09/553591
  • Inventors:
    Robert A. Marsland - Madison WI
    Mark Rodwell - Goleta CA
  • Assignee:
    New Focus, Inc. - San Jose CA
  • International Classification:
    H01S 310
  • US Classification:
    372 29021, 385 31, 385 49
  • Abstract:
    Described embodiments provide a method and apparatus for transmission of optical communications. An embodiment provides an optical transmitter which includes a control circuit to enhance the stability of output power levels, a modulator circuit with precise impedance matching for high frequency performance, and an optical coupling mechanism that relaxes the alignment tolerances between the laser and the fiber and decreases the sensitivity of the gain medium to feedback from devices coupled to the fiber. These features allow the transmitter to deliver an optical output beam which can be modulated over a wide range of frequencies, duty cycles and amplitudes with very precise definition of the rising and falling edges of the waveform. In combination these features result in an optical transmitter that may be fabricated with relatively low cost and a reduced form factor when compared with prior art optical transmitters.

  • US Patent:
    7446584, Nov 4, 2008
  • Filed:
    Sep 25, 2002
  • Appl. No.:
    10/256099
  • Inventors:
    Ken Elliott - Thousand Oaks CA, US
    Susan Morton - Newbury Park CA, US
    Mark Rodwell - Goleta CA, US
  • Assignee:
    HRL Laboratories, LLC - Malibu CA
  • International Classification:
    H03H 11/26
  • US Classification:
    327280, 327359
  • Abstract:
    Disclosed is a time delay generator apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a time delay gate , a mixer (a Gilbert cell circuit), and a current digital to analog converter. The mixer , comprised of first and second transistor differential pairs and , receives an analog input signal without a delay as well as a delayed input signal produced by the time gate delay. The digital to analog converter regulates the relative current flow between a first control signal and a second control signal , effectively altering the mixing of the undelayed input signal and the delayed input signal to generate a delayed output signal with a time or phase delay substantially equal to the temporal delay represented by the digital signal input. The time delay generator exhibits reduced phase noise and a linear time delay response.

In combination these features result in an optical transmitter that may be fabricated with relatively low cost and a reduced form factor when compared with prior art optical transmitters. In an embodiment of the invention a semiconductor laser transmitter is disclosed. The semiconductor laser transmitter includes: a gain medium, an optical fiber, and a reflector. The gain medium generates an emission along a path. The optical fiber includes a tip portion located in the path to optically couple with the emission. A reflector is located on the tip portion to limit an optical coupling efficiency of said gain medium with said optical fiber. In an alternate embodiment of the invention a method for transmitting optical power is disclosed.
