Integrated microfluidic variable optical attenuator.
We fabricate and measure a microfluidic variable optical attenuator, which consists of an optical waveguide integrated with a microfluidic channel. An opening is introduced in the upper cladding of the waveguide in order to facilitate the alignment and bonding of the microfluidic channel. By using fluids with different refractive indices, the optical output power is gradually attenuated. We obt...
متن کاملRotating optical soliton clusters.
We introduce the concept of soliton clusters--multisoliton bound states in a homogeneous bulk optical medium--and reveal a key physical mechanism for their stabilization associated with a staircaselike phase distribution that induces a net angular momentum and leads to cluster rotation. The ringlike soliton clusters provide a nontrivial generalization of the concepts of two-soliton spiraling, o...
متن کاملOrganic amorphous fluoropolymer membrane for variable optical attenuator applications
The paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) variable optical attenuator (VOA) made from an organic fluoropolymer thin film. The optical attenuation is achieved by changing the radius of curvature of the organic thin film by actuating a pneumatic force. The size of the organic polymer membrane is 4 mm × 4 mm and the measured centre displac...
متن کاملVariable Optical Attenuator Fabricated by Direct UV Writing
It is demonstrated that direct ultraviolet writing of waveguides is a method suitable for mass production of compact variable optical attenuators with low insertion loss, low polarization-dependent loss, and high dynamic range. The fabrication setup is shown to be robust, providing good device performance over a period of many months without maintenance.
متن کاملCompact Polymeric Optical Attenuator Using Laser Writing Asymmetric Y-Junction
We have proposed and demonstrated a wide-angle thermooptic variable optical attenuator using a new type of truncated asymmetric Y-branch waveguide in polymers. The asymmetric parameters in the truncated zone and also the asymmetric waveguide widths of the branch depend on its cross-talk (CT), attenuation efficiency and the length of the device or the packing density. An analysis for the optimum...
