Polarizing beam splitter based on the anisotropic spectral reflectivity characteristic of form-birefringent multilayer gratings

RC Tyan, PC Sun, A Scherer, Y Fainman - Optics Letters, 1996 - opg.optica.org
We introduce a novel polarizing beam splitter that uses the anisotropic spectral reflectivity
(ASR) characteristic of a high-spatial-frequency multilayer binary grating. Such ASR effects …

Components for the implementation of free-space optical crossbars

CP Barrett, P Blair, GS Buller, DT Neilson… - Applied …, 1996 - opg.optica.org
We describe an optical system developed to form the basis of a 64× 64 free-space optical
matrix–matrix crossbar switch. The design and performance of each of the main optical …
