Latest Patents
Sheng-wey Chiow holds a patent for "Picosecond optical switching using RF non-linear transmission lines." This invention involves optical phase modulators that are strategically placed in separate arms of an optical interferometer to create short optical pulses. The modulators are driven by signals from an electrical nonlinear transmission line (NLTL). A time delay is introduced between the NLTL signals in the two arms of the interferometer, allowing for the generation of short optical pulses at the output. In experimental setups, a switching time of 70 ps was achieved using discrete LiNbO traveling wave electro-optic modulators and commercially available NLTLs. The integration of NLTLs with phase modulators is suggested to enhance bandwidth further. This fast switching technology can be utilized in various applications, including Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM) network architectures and arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) capabilities.
