Filed:

Oct 29, 2010

Appl. No.:

13/504694

Inventors:

Raman K. Selli - Austin TX, US
Brian M. Cole - Austin TX, US
Donald G. Doss - Round Rock TX, US

International Classification:

G02B 6/32
G02B 6/26
G02B 6/42

US Classification:

385 33, 385 31, 264 125, 264 126

Abstract:

A method of forming a fiber optic device includes securing one or more optical fibers to a support. The support is coupled to a base that includes one or more optoelectronic devices. After one or more of the fibers are secured to the support, and the support is secured to the base, one or more of the fibers are cleaved. This method, and fiber optic devices made using this method are more easily aligned and may be produced at lower costs than existing manufacturing processes.

International Classification:

H01S 317

US Classification:

359341

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is an amplification method, an optical glass amplifier, a laser based on the amplifier and an amplification optical communication system, all based on a limited length of a single-mode glass fiber made from glass having phonon energy of less than about 350 cm. sup. -1 and doped with dysprosium. The glass includes 0. 1-30 mol % germanium, 0-40 mol % arsenic, 0. 01-20 mol % X, 0. 01-20 mol % Y, and 0. 001-2 weight % dysprosium, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of gallium, indium and mixtures thereof selenium; and wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of selenium, and mixtures of selenium and up to 50% of sulfur. The system includes a coupler, a silica-based signal fiber carrying the optical signal that is to be amplified in communication with said coupling means, a pump light source in communication with the coupler, an amplifier in communication with the coupler at one end and another silica-based fiber joined to the amplifier at its other end. The method includes the steps of introducing the optical signal to be amplified into the coupler, introducing a pump optical signal into the coupling means, combining the optical signal and the pump optical signal, introducing the combined optical signal into the amplifier and amplifying the optical signal by exciting the electrons in dysprosium so they emit at about 1. 3. mu. m.
