Definitions
- This invention relates to apparatus and methods for variable optical output control and systems containing such controls.
- Optical fibers are essentially thin strands of glass capable of transmitting information-containing optical signals over long distances with low loss.
- an optical fiber is a small diameter waveguide comprising a core having a first index of refraction surrounded by a cladding having a second (lower) index of refraction.
- Typical optical fibers are made of high purity silica. Various concentrations of dopants may be added to control the index of refraction.
- a typical Bragg grating comprises a length of optical waveguide, such as optical fiber, in which a plurality of perturbations in the index of refraction are substantially equally-spaced along the waveguide length.
- a Bragg grating of this kind reflects the light launched into the fiber core for guided propagation. Only that light having a wavelength within a very narrow range dependent on the grating element periodicity is reflected back along the fiber axis opposite to the original propagation direction.
- the grating is substantially transparent to light at wavelengths outside this narrow band and therefore does not adversely affect the further propagation of such light.
- Bragg gratings may be conveniently fabricated by doping a waveguide core with one or more dopants sensitive to ultraviolet light, e.g., germanium or phosphorous, and exposing the waveguide at spatially periodic intervals to a high intensity ultraviolet light source, e.g., an excimer laser.
- the ultraviolet light interacts with the photosensitive dopant to produce long-term perturbations in the local index of refraction.
- the appropriate periodic spacing of perturbations can be obtained by use of a physical mask, a phase mask, or a pair of interfering beams.

- FIG. 4 is a graph showing experimental results obtained from an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of another embodiment of an output coupler according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 6 A, 6B, 6C and 6D are graphs showing simulated experimental results obtained from embodiments of the present invention.
- Equation (a) is derived for an incoherent light wave.
- the reflectance is defined by a more complicated formula according to the Fabry- Perot interferometric effect.
- the distance between gratings is large compared with the wavelength ⁇ and the wave is partially incoherent, however, the interferometric phenomena can be neglected.
- Equation (a) takes the following form:
- the spectral selectivity of the laser cavity may be achieved by the spectral selectivity of the other reflector, R ⁇ R ( ⁇ ) (e.g., a Bragg grating), located at the opposite side of the fiber laser cavity.
- R ⁇ R ( ⁇ ) e.g., a Bragg grating
- the center of the R HR W reflectivity curve is positioned at ⁇ 0 as well.
- LI
- the driver for central portion 14 of housing 12 is preferably a multi-layer piezo- ceramic.
- Fig. 2 shows actual results obtained from experiments with a variable output coupler such as that shown in Fig. 1.
- FIG. 3 another embodiment of a variable output coupler is disclosed.
- optical fiber 10 is attached to flexible member 14 on two sides.
- Flexible member 14 is configured so that it can bend as shown in Fig. 3 by an angle ⁇ . This bending causes first grating Gl to compress while second grating G2 is stretched by substantially equal displacement amounts ⁇ x (or vice versa).
- Fig. 4 shows the spectral response of a variable output coupler such as that shown in Fig. 3. Temperature control also can be used as a driver in the present invention. If temperature is used as the driving force for the variable output coupler of the present invention, the dependence of ⁇ on ⁇ T in a silica based fiber is defined by the following formula:
- a 100° C change in temperature causes about 0.7 nm spectral shift.

- Portions 18 and 20 adjacent to temperature sensitive portions 14 and 16, respectively, are provided to allow for such compression and expansion to occur. Portions 18 and 20 may be fitted with flexible members, e.g. springs.
- the compression and expansion of temperature sensitive portions 14 and 16 causes first grating Gl to compress while second grating G2 is stretched by substantially equal displacement amounts ⁇ x (or vice versa).
- the effect of Fabry-Perot interference can be neglected if the coherence of Raman light is less than approximately 0.06 nm. Indeed, the distance between the Fabry-Perot fringes is about:
- the effective spectral profile ⁇ Sel ⁇ , ⁇ )) of the generated wave is defined by the product of the high reflectance (HR) mirror (grating) R HR OO located on the other side of a fiber (not shown in Fig.1) and R tota ⁇ (see Equation 2):
- Figs. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D contains calculations of RI, R2, R to tai and Sel at different ⁇ .

- FWHM of RI ( ⁇ ) equals FWHM of
- Figs. 6A-6D indicate that a tuning range of Sel ⁇ ,A ⁇ ) from 60-90% to 8-15% can be achieved within the strain range cited above ( ⁇ L ⁇ 30-35 ⁇ m).
- variable output coupler An important consideration in producing a variable output coupler according to the present invention is the tendency of a compressed fiber to bend under strain. This tendency can be reduced by reinforcing at least a portion of the fiber (e.g., encapsulating the fiber in a glass capillary or body of epoxy).
- the whole assembly can be epoxy sealed.
- the fiber is teflon recoated before epoxying the assembly.
- both gratings can be put under tensile stress statically. A force applied at a point between the gratings would then increase the tensile stress in one grating while reducing the tensile stress in the other. The effect would then be to lengthen one grating while shortening the other.
- the output coupler is hermetically sealed.
- the active parts of the output coupler may be assembled with the fiber bonded under tension to two mounting zones on a base (e.g. quartz) and a ferrule bonded to the fiber at the exit and entrance points.
- the coupler may then be mounted in a sealable housing, preferably made from a low thermal expansion metal such as Invar.
- the ferrules may be bonded to sealing pieces made from a higher expansion metal such as brass or stainless steel.
- these two junctions are well inboard of the secondary junctions of the sealing pieces to the housing such that the thermal expansion of the sealing pieces can compensate for the difference between the thermal expansion of the quartz fiber and the housing.
- the length of exposed fiber may be treated with a reinforcing material (e.g. a ring of gold flashing) near the exit and entry zones of the control volume before it is attached to the bending device, adjusted and bonded (e.g. with curable adhesive) to ground mounting zones on the mounting base.
- a reinforcing material e.g. a ring of gold flashing
- the fiber is treated in selective zones with at least one layer of reinforcing material (e.g. metal flash, gold, solder, etc.)
- a cap piece may be used to sandwich the fiber ends with the base near, but not touching, each gold ring.
- This cap piece is preferably made from thin (e.g. 1mm) metalized quartz with side edges precisely ground to match the width of the base in order to help distribute the adhesive on the fiber in a more controlled manner.
- the driving force could be a temperature change, a mechanical force, a magnetic force, an electro- and/or magnetostriction, etc.
- Other fiber arrangements and configurations are possible within the spirit of the current invention.
- Other embodiments are in the claims.
