Title: Microlaser assembly having a microresonator and aligned electro-optic components
Inventor: PETERSON BRIAN LEE
IPC: H01S3/109
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: A microlaser assembly is provided that includes a microresonator, such as a side pumped microresonator having an active gain medium and a passive Q-switch, a pump source for inducing resonation of the microresonator and the generation of laser signals, one or more electro-optic components, such as one or more non-linear crystals, amplifiers, oscillators or active gain mediums, for modifying the laser signals emitted by the microlaser and a beam steering element for aligning the laser signals emitted by the microresonator with the electro-optic components. The beam steering element is preferably controllably adjustable so as to precisely align the laser signals emitted by the microresonator with an electro-optic component. In order to provide more general alignment, the microlaser assembly can also include a mechanical alignment member. For example, the microlaser assembly can include a first mechanical alignment member for aligning the microresonator and the beam steering element and a second mechanical alignment member for aligning the beam steering element and the electro-optic component. In this regard, the first and second mechanical alignment members can each include at least one pin for operably engaging the microresonator, beam steering element and/or the electro-optic components. The laser signals emitted by the microresonator can therefore be efficiently coupled to the electro-optic components in order to provide the desired laser output.

Title: Redundancy systems and methods in communications systems
Inventor: PATRIARCHE DOUGLAS HEATH
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2002-05-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for improving redundancy and load sharing in control cards in the control plane of a communication node. An active control card which receives a request passes the request to the inactive control card for processing if and only if the inactive control card is synchronized with the active control card and the inactive control card is able to process the request. Redundancy and load sharing are further improved if the active control card separates the processing of managing the request and the determination of a response to the request onto separate processors on the control card. In one embodiment, the control cards are OSPF modules un a router. Redundancy is effected by more accurately synchronizing the link state database of each OSPF module, and by allowing the state of each neighbouring router to be determined only by the active OSPF module and not independently by any inactive OSPF module.
