Spectrum Sliced Photonic Signal Processor
|
12731
|
A spectrum sliced photonic processor that has a tunable and reconfigurable finite impulse response filter topology with bipolar taps.

Stabilised poled waveguide
|
11884
|
Poling creates a useful non-linearity in glasses; however its lifetime or stability is an issue. This invention provides a means of stabilising the induced non-linearity and substantially extending the lifetime.

Novel Capillaries and Canes for Constructing Microstructured Fibre Preforms
|
4608
|
A method of producing polymer holey optical fibre (mPOF) using novel capillary and cane designs that allows the construction of complex holey structures.

An inexpensive all Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) Monitor
|
11016
|
The invention allows superior control of networks by providing information about the operational state of key network elements. It relies upon a nonlinear process to produce a signal whose average amplitude is a unique function of the optical signal to noise.

A High Repetition Rate, Short Pulse, Self-Starting Laser
|
11014
|
This novel design of laser substantially improves on conventional mode-locked lasers. It permits very high repetition rate and reliable self-starting. This is achieved by incorporation of an Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) in the "Figure of Eight" configuration.

Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres
|
3212
|
Microstructured polymer optical fibres use a pattern of holes running the length of the fibre to achieve their optical effects. They use a single polymer material, and modifications of the microstructure can produce a wide variety of optical effects, some of which are difficult, or impossible to achieve using conventional polymer fibres.

Tunable Optical Supercontinuum Enhancement
|
11055
|
The invention enables the spectral power within a narrow band of a broad spectrum of supercontinuum radiation to be significantly enhanced with simple components such as a long period grating in an optical fibre.

Microstructured Polymer Fibres For High Speed Data Transmission
|
10366
|
A new type of graded index microstructured polymer optical fibre (GI-mPOF) that can achieve high bandwidths for short-distance data transmission in a variety of applications.
