Fiber optical package interconnect |
摘要 |
Optical devices and systems including a polarization maintaining interconnect are disclosed. An optical assembly can include an optical component, a low-birefringence optical fiber and a polarization transformer. The polarization transformer is coupled between the optical component and the optical fiber. The polarization transformer is configured to transform between a substantially circularly-polarized light at the low-birefringence optical fiber and a substantially linearly-polarized light at the optical component. |

1. An optical assembly comprising:
a laser configured to generate light; a low-birefringence optical fiber, wherein the low-birefringence optical fiber has high intrinsic birefringence and a high spin structure resulting in low effective birefringence; and a polarization transformer directly coupled to the laser between the laser and the low-birefringence optical fiber, wherein the polarization transformer is configured to transform a substantially linearly-polarized light from the laser to a substantially circularly polarized light. |
