Integrated Optics Components - Fabrication and Testing.
Abstract
Integrated optics promises components which will extend the bandwidth and/or switching capabilities of fiber optics communications and provide very rapid information processing for DoD systems. The work on the program that was performed at NELC and under contracts administered by NELC was in the areas of materials for 1OC substrates and devices, pattern fabrication, theoretical analysis, system concepts, and breadboard subsystem assembly. This report includes sections on Fabrication Techniques for Integrated Optical Circuits, Diode Sources for Optical Communications, GaAs-GaAlAs Double-Heterostructure Injection Lasers with Distributed Feedback, Experiments with Tapered-Channel Waveguides, Fabrication of Low-Loss Optical Waveguides by Post-Deposition Microstructure Modification, Fabrication of Tapered Waveguides, Testing of University of Washington Tapered Waveguides, Interferometric Waveguide Switch/Modulator, and Breadboard Subsystem Testing.
