67 Optical modulator US12636522 2009-12-11 US08135242B2 2012-03-13 Masaki Sugiyama
In an optical modulator, an intermediate substrate is provided separate from a main substrate on which a plurality of optical modulation sections are provided in parallel, and signal lines corresponding to the optical modulation sections are formed on the intermediate substrate. The signal lines are connected to signal electrodes corresponding to the main substrate, and have electrical lengths that are different from each other. Furthermore, the propagation loss per unit length in the signal lines on the intermediate substrate is preferably less than the propagation loss per unit length in the signal electrodes on the main substrate. As a result, even if a plurality of optical modulation sections are arranged in parallel, and the input ends of the signal electrodes of the optical modulation sections are arranged side by side on one side face of the substrate, synchronized modulation light of a low noise at a wide band width can be output from the optical modulation sections.
68 Method for Evaluating Characteristics of Optical Modulator Having Mach-Zehnder Interferometers US12921833 2008-03-13 US20110176141A1 2011-07-21 Tetsuya Kawanishi; Shinya Nakajima; Satoshi Shinada
Problems To provide a method for evaluating characteristics of MZ interferometers in an optical modulator having a plurality of MZ interferometers.Means for Solving Problems When an optical modulator includes a plurality of MZ interferometers, the 0-degree component contains a signal derived from an MZ interferometer other than the MZ interferometers for evaluating the characteristic. For this, it is impossible to accurately evaluate the characteristic of the MZ interferometers. The present invention does not use the 0-degree component normally having the highest intensity. That is, the characteristic of the MZ interferometers are evaluated by using a side band intensity of the component other than the 0-degree component.

A method and system for generating an optical frequency comb that employs a dual parallel modulator that inputs an optical signal at a center frequency of a desired optical frequency comb and an RF signal at a frequency corresponding to a desired spacing of the teeth of the optical frequency comb.

In some embodiments, all three interferometers are all biased at the same point (e.g., quadrature). Preferably, but not necessarily, the three interferometers of the DPM are formed on a single substrate.

72 Optical multilayer disk, multiwavelength light source, and optical system using them US09694625 2000-10-23 US07065035B1 2006-06-20 Kiminori Mizuuchi; Kazuhisa Yamamoto; Rie Kojima; Noboru Yamada
When a wavelength of a first laser beam with which a first recording medium including a first recording layer is recorded and reproduced is indicated as λ1 (nm), a wavelength of a second laser beam with which a second recording medium including a second recording layer is recorded and reproduced as λ2 (nm), the relationship between the wavelength λ1 and the wavelength λ2 is set to be expressed by 10≦|λ1−λ2|≦120. The first recording layer has a light absorptance ratio of at least 1.0 with respect to the wavelength λ1. The light transmittance of the first recording medium with respect to the wavelength λ2 is set to be at least 30 in both the cases where the recording layer is in a crystal state and in an amorphous state. In order to record and reproduce the optical multilayer disk with the above-mentioned characteristics, a multiwavelength light source with the following configuration is used. Wavelengths of fundamental waves with different wavelengths from injection parts formed at one end of a plurality of optical waveguides, which satisfy phase matching conditions different from one another and are formed in the vicinity of the surface of a substrate, are converted simultaneously, and the first and second laser beams are emitted from emission parts formed at substantially the same position at the other end of the optical waveguides. This enables an optimum optical system for high density recording and reproduction to be obtained.

74 Method of linearizing the transmission function of modulator US992100 1992-12-17 US5363230A 1994-11-08 Anders G. Djupsjobacka
A method of linearizing a modulator (1) having two parallel-coupled sub-modulators (2, 3). The complete transmission function of the modulator includes parameters which relate to power division (A, 1-A) of a non-modulated carrier wave (P.sub.in) and a relationship (B) between the activation degree of the sub-modulators (2, 3). The transmission function is simplified and series-expanded with two higher-order terms, each having a respective coefficient. An expression for intermodulation distortion is calculated with the aid of the series-expansion and with control signals (V1, V2) having two or three frequencies. The signs of the coefficients are determined so that the terms having these coefficients will mutually counteract their respective distortion contributions, and limited search regions for the parameters (A, B) are calculated with the aid of the sign-determined coefficients. In accordance with secondary conditions for high electrooptic efficiency and pronounced modulation depth, the distortion level of the modulator is calculated with the aid of the complete transmission function in the search regions.
