Abstract: A tunable acoustic wave filter is switchable between band-pass and band reject characteristic. 
The filter comprises in a T-ype arrangement a first and second series resonator (82A...82N, 83A...83N), each with a switch in parallel (182A...182N, 183A...183N), and a third resonator (84A...84N) to ground. The first and second series resonators have differing resonance and anti-resonance frequencies. Depending on the position of the two switches the filter can operate with band-pass or band reject characteristic. Each resonator may have variable capacitors in parallel and in series to allow for tunability of the filter characteristic.

Filed: 2014-02-21
Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for mitigating lensing and scattering as an optical fiber is being inscribed with a grating. The disclosed systems and methods mitigate the lensing phenomenon by surrounding an optical fiber with an index-matching material that is held in a vessel with an integrated interferometer (e.g., phase mask, etc.). The index-matching material has a refractive index that is sufficient to reduce intensity variations of the actinic radiation within the optical fiber. Some embodiments of the system include different vessels for holding the index-matching material, with the vessel having an interferometer integrated into the vessel. These vessels permit the optical fiber to be surrounded by the index-matching material while the gratings are written to the optical fiber.
