摘要： A demultiplexer includes a unitary optically transparent structure that utilizes focusing relay mirrors to relay a multi-wavelength beam of light among a series of wavelength-specific interference filters, with each filter separating out a specific wavelength component from the multi-wavelength beam. The relay mirrors are focusing mirrors, so that the demultiplexer can be operated with a non-collimated light beam in a manner that controls the potentially large angle of divergence of non-collimated light, while taking advantage of the small beam diameter in order to create a demultiplexer with greater miniaturization.

摘要： A zigzag waveguide device is described that includes at least two optical waveguides converged at a vertex to form a waveguide overlap region. Optical loss in the waveguide overlap region is minimized by including a narrow gap of lower refractive index between the overlap region and each waveguide. This technique is also applied to minimize loss in a region where two optical waveguides cross one another. A mirror or optical filter reflectively couples the two waveguides at the vertex. When the coupling is provided by an optical filter, some range of wavelengths is transmitted out of the zigzag waveguide device, rather than reflected. The transmitted light may be collected by an output waveguide which is wider than the waveguides to minimize loss due to divergence. Light exiting the device may be coupled directly to a photodetector with no intervening optical fiber. In addition, the width of an input waveguide of the zigzag waveguide device is tapered to reduce angular spread of the light in the zigzag device.
摘要翻译：描述了一种锯齿状波导器件，其包括在顶点会聚的至少两个光波导，以形成波导重叠区域。通过在重叠区域和每个波导之间包括较低折射率的窄间隙，使波导重叠区域中的光学损耗最小化。该技术也被应用于使两个光波导彼此交叉的区域中的损耗最小化。反射镜或滤光器在顶点反射耦合两个波导。当耦合由滤光器提供时，一些波长范围从锯齿形波导器件传出，而不是被反射。透射光可以由比波导更宽的输出波导收集，以最小化由于发散引起的损耗。离开器件的光可以直接耦合到没有中间光纤的光电检测器。此外，之字形波导器件的输入波导的宽度是锥形的，以减少光在锯齿形器件中的角度扩展。

摘要： A fiber ribbon includes a plurality of first segments of optical fibers that extend in a planar side-by-side arrangement having a first predetermined pitch. A fiber-fan-out including a plurality of second segments of the optical fibers extends in a diverging arrangement from the fiber ribbon. A fiber holder extends across the plurality of second segments of the optical fibers for maintaining a plurality of terminal portions of the second segments in a second predetermined pitch that is greater than the first predetermined pitch so that the terminal portions can each be optically coupled to a corresponding optical subassembly (OSA) of a plurality of OSAs arranged in a linear array. An alternate embodiment uses a second fiber holder in place of the fiber ribbon. The holders can be replaced with a common housing assembly spanning all but the terminal portions of the optical fibers.

摘要： A three-dimensional optical switch using three-dimensional rewritable waveguides in a photosensitive substrate. At least two light beams are used to illuminate the substrate in the region where the waveguide is to be written. The refractive index of the substrate changes at the points where the beams intersect. Therefore, the light beams can be directed to create a three-dimensional waveguide in the photosensitive substrate. A plurality of inlet ports in one surface of the substrate are thereby connected to a plurality of outlet ports on another surface of the substrate. Alternatively, the inlet ports and the outlet ports may be on the same surface of the substrate. The invention also provides methods of creating waveguides in photosensitive media using the device described herein.

摘要： An array of n-wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can be grown with precise and repeatable wavelength control. First, a foundation VCSEL structure is grown on a substrate. Next, n-paired layers of AlGaAs and InGaP are grown, where n is the desired number of different wavelengths. Next, one of the n regions is masked and etched. The steps of masking and etching are repeated until all n regions are etched. Finally, the upper VCSEL structure is grown.

摘要： The WDM receiver includes a wavelength demultiplexer, a detector array and a signal extractor. The wavelength demultiplexer receives an n-channel optical input signal and transmits the n-channel optical input signal to m optical outputs. Each of the optical outputs receives a wavelength band centered at a different wavelength. The wavelength bands have a center-to-center wavelength spacing of Δλ′. The detector array is composed of m detector elements coupled to the wavelength demultiplexer. Each of the detector elements generates a detection signal in response to light received from one of the optical outputs of the wavelength demultiplexer. The signal extractor receives the detection signals from the detector array and converts the detection signals to an n-channel receiver output signal, each channel of which corresponds to a different one of the n channels of the optical input signal. The WDM receiver is able to detect optical signals that are closely spaced in wavelength, even when the optical signals have off-center of varying wavelengths.

摘要： A first plurality of stages each support a ferrule surrounding an end portion of a corresponding one of N optical input fibers. A second plurality of stages each support a ferrule surrounding an end portion of a corresponding one of M optical output fibers. Mechanical mechanisms translate the stages along a plurality of orthogonal X and Y axes to align a facet of a selected one of the N input optical fibers with a facet of a selected one of the M output optical fibers. The stages of the input optical fibers, the output optical fibers, or both, have mechanical mechanisms for moving the ferrules along Z axes perpendicular to the X and Y axes into and out of alignment holes of a central panel to physically mate the facets of the coupled fibers.

摘要： A folded flex circuit interconnect increases a number of interconnection pads of a grid array interface available to accommodate high count outputs from distinct circuit elements. The circuit interconnect includes a substrate capable of being folded, a conductor layer adjacent to a surface of the substrate, and a pad array having an interconnection pad connected to the conductor layer at a first end of the circuit interconnect. The pad array is part of the grid array interface. An optics module includes the folded flex circuit interconnect and an optical unit. The folded flex circuit interconnect further includes an electrical interface at a second end that is connected to the conductor layer. The folded flex circuit interconnect connects to the optical unit using the electrical interface. The circuit interconnect connects the optical unit to a motherboard using the pad array at the first end.
