Abstract:
In one general embodiment, a method for deflecting an optical signal input into a waveguide is provided. In operation, an optical input signal is propagated through a waveguide. Additionally, an optical control signal is applied to a mask positioned relative to the waveguide such that the application of the optical control signal to the mask is used to influence the optical input signal propagating in the waveguide. Furthermore, the deflected optical input signal output from the waveguide is detected in parallel on an array of detectors. In another general embodiment, a beam deflecting structure is provided for deflecting an optical signal input into a waveguide, the structure comprising at least one wave guiding layer for guiding an optical input signal and at least one masking layer including a pattern configured to influence characteristics of a material of the guiding layer when an optical control signal is passed through the masking layer in a direction of the guiding layer. In another general embodiment, a system is provided including a waveguide, an attenuating mask positioned on the waveguide, and an optical control source positioned to propagate pulsed laser light towards the attenuating mask and the waveguide such that a pattern of the attenuating mask is applied to the waveguide and material properties of at least a portion of the waveguide are influenced.

Filed:
Mar 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/394894
Inventors:
Robert Boyd - Rochester NY, US
John Heebner - Livingston NJ, US
International Classification:
G02B006/26
US Classification:
385/027000
Abstract:
Systems and method for manipulating optical pulses to implement an optical switch and for pulse shaping (e.g., pulse compression and/or compression) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises an optical switch apparatus that includes a plurality of resonators optically coupled to a waveguide, two output waveguides, an input light source, a control light source. The system selects some of the input signals emitted from the input light course using control signals emitted from the control light source to route to one of the output waveguides. In another embodiment, the system includes a waveguide optically coupled to a plurality of resonators, input light source, optional resonator modules that can change the refractive index of the resonators, and an optional amplifier. This system can change the shape of the pulses by changing a number of parameters, such as the incoming pulse amplitude and/or the refractive index of the resonators.

Optical Waveguides Having Flattened High Order Modes

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Jun 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/162351
Inventors:
Michael Joseph Messerly - Danville CA, US
Raymond John Beach - Livermore CA, US
John Edward Heebner - Livermore CA, US
Jay Walter Dawson - Livermore CA, US
Paul Henry Pax - Livermore CA, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/02
C03B 37/027
C03B 37/018
US Classification:
385123, 65419, 65421, 65412, 65386, 65409
Abstract:
A deterministic methodology is provided for designing optical fibers that support field-flattened, ring-like higher order modes. The effective and group indices of its modes can be tuned by adjusting the widths of the guide's field-flattened layers or the average index of certain groups of layers. The approach outlined here provides a path to designing fibers that simultaneously have large mode areas and large separations between the propagation constants of its modes.

Diffractive Optical Elements For Transformation Of Modes In Lasers

US Patent:
2013029, Nov 7, 2013
Filed:
Mar 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/791563
Inventors:
Paul H. Pax - Livermore CA, US
John E. Heebner - Livermore CA, US
Derrek R. Drachenberg - Livermore CA, US
James P. Armstrong - Livermore CA, US
Jay W. Dawson - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL SECURITY, LLC - Livermore CA
International Classification:
H01S 3/10
US Classification:
372 2902
Abstract:
Spatial mode conversion modules are described, with the capability of efficiently transforming a given optical beam profile, at one plane in space into another well-defined optical beam profile at a different plane in space, whose detailed spatial features and symmetry properties can, in general, differ significantly. The modules are comprised of passive, high-efficiency, low-loss diffractive optical elements, combined with Fourier transform optics. Design rules are described that employ phase retrieval techniques and associated algorithms to determine the necessary profiles of the diffractive optical components. System augmentations are described that utilize real-time adaptive optical techniques for enhanced performance as well as power scaling.

High-Power Electrically Tunable Switch

US Patent:
2021033, Oct 28, 2021
Filed:
Dec 19, 2018
Appl. No.:
17/271428
Inventors:
- Livermore CA, US
Adam M. Conway - Livermore CA, US
John E. Heebner - Livermore CA, US
International Classification:
H01L 45/00
H01S 5/042
Abstract:
A high-voltage switch, whose operation leverages the speed of electrons to generate the “on” time of the pulse in combination with the speed of light to generate the “off” time of the pulse, is described. In one example, the high-voltage switch includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, a region of non-absorbing material occupying a portion of the space between the first and second electrodes and allowing a laser pulse to propagate therethrough without substantial absorption, and a region of absorbing material occupying another portion of the space and producing a charged particle cloud upon receiving the laser pulse. The high-voltage switch remains “on” upon the charged particle cloud reaching an electrode and until it has been collected by the electrode, and where the high-voltage switch remains “off” subsequent to the collection and until another generated charged particle cloud reaches the electrode.
