IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2003-09-02
Abstract: The specification describes dispersion compensators that are adjustable
based on selection of mode propagation properties of two or more modes. The
fundamental device structure comprises two or more sections of optical fiber that
support the fundamental mode as well as well as one or more higher-order-modes
(HOM). The HOM fibers are connected to each other by means of a
spatial mode-converter (MC) that is switchable. The MC may be fabricated with,
for example, long-period fiber-gratings (LPG), coupled waveguide devices, free-space
phase-retardation elements, micro-electro-mechanical devices, or
acousto-optic couplers. The MC is assembled such that it transforms any
incoming spatial mode into one of any other guided modes in the HOM fiber.
Switching is achieved by strain, temperature, the electro-optic or nonlinear optic
effect, or any other physical effect that changes the refractive index of the optical
material used to construct the MC.

Inventor: HOWARD DARREN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: F16D9/02
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A disconnect mechanism is provided which, upon a suitable trigger event, such as excess temperature causes a camming element 40 having a tapered head 52 to move under the urging of a compression spring 60 such that the tapered head 52 becomes trapped between a rotating element 32 and a support 42. This gives rise to frictional inter-engagement which prevents further rotation of the rotating element 32 and thereby locks the rotating machine against further rotation. This in turn causes the shear region to fail thereby drivingly disconnecting the machine from its prime mover.
