Novel Parametric Light Generator and Monochromator

Tech ID: 21783 / UC Case 2011-289-0

Technology Description

Developed here is a fiber optical parametric amplifier to realize a wide-range tunable, high-sweep rate, frequency-swept light source. The invention provides for the following:

  • Generation of fast, wide-band, wavelength swept light.
  • Analysis of spectral content in arbitrary wavelength bands.
  • Amplification and frequency conversion of selected spectral slices in a wideband optical signal.

Applications

Applications for the above work can be found in:

  • Frequency swept-light sources and spectral analyzers
  • Optical add-drop multiplexers
  • Fast tunable spectral discriminators
  • Frequency controlled optical switches

Intellectual Property Info

This work is fully prototyped and available to license worldwide.
