Title: Graded index lens system and method for coupling light
Inventor: CHENG YIHAO
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: A lensing system is provided for coupling light from one optical fiber to another through a plurality of graded index (GRIN) lenses. The system is capable of coupling light of two significantly different wavelengths in a relatively efficient manner. More specifically, a first GRIN lens having at least two ports on an outwardly facing end face is provided for coupling light of one of the wavelenghts from one of the at least two ports to another of the at least two ports. A second GRIN lens typically being about one half pitch, having an end face juxtaposed to an end face of the first GRIN lens, is provided for, in combination with the first lens, adjusting for differences in the two significantly different wavelengths, so that light will efficiently be coupled between a third graded index lens and the first graded index lens that are of different lengths to accommodate for the different wavelengths of light. The third GRIN lens has an inwardly facing end face spaced apart from an inwardly facing end face of the second GRIN lens, and includes a port on an outwardly facing end face that is optically aligned with one of the ports on the first GRIN lens. The first lens GRIN lens and the second GRIN lens in combination collimate or focus light that is traversing a gap between the inwardly facing end face of the second GRIN lens to the inwardly facing end face of the third GRIN lens.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de couplage pour fibres optiques, qui est sélectif pour la longueur d'onde. Ce dispositif trouve différentes applications dans le domaine des communications optiques. Le dispositif de couplage est constitué de guides d'ondes dissemblables (12, 22) qui se jouxtent. Un réseau (42) à indice de réfraction permanent est imprimé par la lumière dans l'étranglement (52) du dispositif de couplage. Le réseau filtre et transfère l'énergie dans une plage particulière de longueurs d'ondes depuis un premier guide d'ondes (12) vers un second guide d'ondes (22). Des réseaux transversalement asymétriques permettent un transfert d'énergie efficace. Le dispositif de couplage peut être utilisé pour combiner ou multiplexer une pluralité de lasers fonctionnant à des longueurs d'onde légèrement différentes, dans une seule fibre.

Filed: 1996-07-24
Abstract: L'invention porte sur de nouveaux facteurs interagissant avec les récepteurs, dits "SMRT" c.-à-d. "médiateur atténuateur (corépresseur) du récepteur de l'acide rétinoïque et du récepteur de l'hormone thyroïdienne)". Il s'agit d'une nouvelle protéine qui, associé aux susdits récepteurs, à la fois en solution, et sur des éléments de réponse d'ADN, peut être déstabilisée par un ligand. L'interaction du SMRT avec des récepteurs mutants est en corrélation avec les activités transcriptionnelles d'atténuation des récepteurs. Le SMRT agit in vivo comme un puissant co-répresseur. La fusion du domaine de fixation GAL-4 de l'ADN et du SMRT, se comporte comme le répresseur de Frank d'un reporter dépendant du GAL-4. Ces données, prises ensemble, définissent une nouvelle classe de cofacteurs qu'on pense être un important médiateur de l'action des hormones.
