Patent

CA 2506577

A waveguide device is provided comprising an optical waveguide core and a cladding optically coupled to the optical waveguide core. The cladding comprises an optically functional region defining a refractive index that is configured to vary in response to a control signal applied to the optically functional region. The refractive index of the optically functional region is lower than the refractive index of the optical waveguide core. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the optically functional region may be characterized as a Kerr Effect medium.

L'invention porte sur un guide d'ondes comportant un coeur et une gaine couplée optiquement au coeur. La gaine présente une zone à fonctions optiques dont l'indice de réfraction varie en réponse à un signal de commande lui étant appliqué, l'indice de réfraction de la zone à fonctions optiques étant inférieur à celui du coeur. Dans une exécution de l'invention, la zone à fonctions optiques peut être un milieu utilisant l'effet Kerr.
