摘要： A 2-dimensional optical fiber array having stacked sticks with fibers disposed between the sticks. The sticks are made by directional dry etching. The shape of the sticks is defined by a lithographic mask. Each stick has notches for holding the optical fibers. Since the sticks are defined by a lithographic mask, the fibers are accurately located in the 2-D array. In a alternative embodiment, the sticks are made by dry etching holes in a wafer, and then cleaving the wafer into sticks. To make the array. Fibers are disposed between the sticks and the sticks are reassembled so that cleaved surfaces are rejoined. Also, double-sided sticks can be made from a wafer having an etch stop layer. Directional dry etching is performed from both sides of the wafer.

摘要： An optical fiber switch having two coupled fiber arrays which move in a transverse direction to provide switching action. Each array has a front face and the front faces are nearly in contact. Optical fiber ends are located at the front faces. The front faces of the fiber arrays have transverse grooves in which rolling spheres are disposed. The fiber arrays move by rolling on the spheres. The spheres provide for smooth transverse motion and a fixed distance between optical fiber arrays. The spheres and front face grooves also provide for alignment between the optical fibers.

摘要： An optical fiber array having wick stop grooves in a front face of the array. The wick stop grooves control the movement of liquid adhesive (e.g. UV curable adhesive, solder, sol-gel). Particularly, the wick stop grooves prevent liquid adhesive from flowing between the optical fibers in the array and waveguides of an integrated optic chip. Adhesives disposed in the fiber-waveguide optical path can degrade the performance of optical devices. The wick stop grooves can be cut with a dicing saw, or chemically etched (wet or dry), and can have a wide variety of patterns (e.g., straight lines, circles). In any case, the wick stop grooves must prevent the flow of liquid adhesive between the fibers and waveguides. Alternatively, the wick stop grooves are disposed in an edge of the integrated optic chip. Also, the wick stop grooves can be disposed on the front face of other microoptical devices such as filters and lenslet arrays.
摘要翻译：一种在阵列前表面具有芯阻止凹槽的光纤阵列。芯吸槽控制液体粘合剂（例如UV可固化粘合剂，焊料，溶胶 - 凝胶）的运动。特别地，灯芯止动槽防止液体粘合剂在阵列中的光纤和集成光学芯片的波导之间流动。布置在光纤波导光路中的粘合剂可以降低光学器件的性能。灯芯停止槽可以用切割锯切割，或者化学蚀刻（湿或干），并且可以具有多种图案（例如，直线，圆形）。在任何情况下，芯阻止槽必须防止纤维和波导之间的液体粘合剂的流动。或者，灯芯止动槽设置在集成光学芯片的边缘。此外，灯芯停止槽可以设置在其他微光学装置的前表面上，例如滤光器和小透镜阵列。

摘要： An optical fiber array having a V-groove chip with a front portion and a rear portion. The optical fibers are disposed in the V-grooves. The optical fibers are bnonded (e.g. glued) to the V-groove chip in the rear portion of the chip. The optical fibers are not bonded to the front portion of the chip. Preferably, the optical fibers have endfaces that are flush with a front face of the chip. The optical fibers extend from the rear portion. In use, the optical fiber array is pressed against V-grooves of an integrated optics chip or optoelectronic submount. Since the optical fibers are not bonded to the front portion, they can move slightly to fit precisely into V-grooves of the IO chip or submount. Hence, optical fiber alignment is improved. Also, there is no danger of residual adhesive preventing close contact between the optical fibers and IO chip.
摘要翻译：一种具有V形槽芯片的光纤阵列，具有前部和后部。光纤配置在V槽内。光纤与芯片后部的V形槽芯片接合（例如胶合）。光纤不粘接到芯片的前部。优选地，光纤具有与芯片的前表面齐平的端面。光纤从后部延伸。在使用中，光纤阵列被压入集成光学芯片或光电子基座的V形槽。由于光纤不粘合到前部，它们可以稍微移动以精确地配合到IO芯片或副安装座的V形槽中。因此，提高了光纤对准。此外，没有残留粘合剂的危险，防止光纤和IO芯片之间的紧密接触。
