International Classification:

G02B 626

US Classification:

385 16

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are disclosed for implementing a polarization-independent optical switch wherein switchable communication signals are retained in the optical mode while being switched between optical links in an optical communication network. The polarization-independent optical switch comprises polarization-dependent components which are advantageously arranged to switch arbitrary polarized light waves. The polarization-independent optical switch is achieved by splitting incoming arbitrary polarized light waves into two paths, a light wave with a TE radiation component and a light wave with a TM radiation component. The light wave with the TE radiation component is converted to a light wave with a TM radiation component. Both light waves having the TM radiation component are then switched in a polarization-dependent photonic switch device. The arbitrary light waves are recovered from the optical switch by converting one of the switched light waves having the TM radiation component to a light wave having the TE radiation component.

International Classification:

H02G 314

US Classification:

174 66

Abstract:

An integrated wall outlet plate includes a faceplate having a front side and a rear side. A plurality of connectors is integrally formed with the faceplate, each of the connectors extending through the faceplate from the front side to the rear side. Mounting means are positioned on the rear side of the faceplate, for mounting the outlet plate in a wall. The connectors can be of various types, including, but not limited to, coaxial cable connectors, telephone wire connectors, loudspeaker wire connectors, and RCA-type audio/video connectors.
