Abstract: A system of reflectors is used to form a beam-expanding and collimating terminus (20) and coupler (59) for fiberoptic cables and electro-optic transducer devices, including radiation sources and/or detectors. Alignment of optical cores (30) of the fiber-optic cables or the reflector system with a transducer is provided by coupling a magnetic member to the core or reflector system (40) and applying a controllable magnetic field to provide alignment, then fixing the components by the use of light-curable epoxy. A reflector collimator/beam spreader are visually aligned with a source, in addition to or instead of an electrical detector, in order to avoid the need to send a signal through the system to a detector when aligning components. Reflections at an air-to-solid interface in a multiple reflector optical device are suppressed by giving the output surface of the device a sligthly curved surface to deflect the reflections away from the optical axis (77).

Abstract: Gaine de protection souple amortie destinée à recevoir et protéger des substrats allongés. La gaine possède une couche de support souple et flexible ayant une forme ondulée, ce qui lui assure une plus grande dureté radiale et une plus grande souplesse au pliage. La couche de support entoure et définit un espace intérieur destiné à recevoir des substrats. Une entaille longitudinale définie par les bords opposés dans la couche de support permet l'accès à l'espace intérieur. Une couche d'amortissement en feutre non tissé recouvre la surface externe de la couche de support; elle est attachée à cette dernière le long des bords délimitant l'entaille. Pour refermer l'entaille, on utilise des crochets de panneau de déchirure.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif comprenant un guide d'ondes optique équipé d'un réseau gravé à période longue et d'un matériau de revêtement de film fin. Le spectre de transmission de longueur d'ondes du dispositif dépend de manière fonctionnelle des propriétés optiques et de l'épaisseur du matériau de revêtement. Si ce matériau de revêtement possède un indice de réfraction supérieur à celui du matériau de gaine entourant la couche de guidage du guide d'ondes, un choix approprié d'épaisseur permet à la sensibilité du spectre de transmission du dispositif de changer les propriétés optiques du matériau de revêtement à améliorer. Un choix approprié du matériau permet donc un contrôle de la tension ou un contrôle optique, chimique ou thermique, ou n'importe quelle combinaison, du spectre de transmission. Ce dispositif peut servir dans la formation d'un filtre spectral passe-bande, d'un détecteur ou d'un commutateur optique.
