Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate lottery ticket transactions. A request to purchase a lottery ticket is received, the lottery ticket being associated with a lottery number combination, such as a limited number of lottery tickets or a limited number of players. An indication that the lottery number combination is to be associated with a limited number of occurrences is also received. For example, an indication that the lottery number combination is to be associated with only a single lottery ticket may be received. A price associated with the lottery ticket is determined based on the received indication. According to one embodiment the price is increased by a predetermined amount based on the received indication.

Abstract:
An optoelectronic package having passive optical components that are configured to reduce the amount of optical back reflection that reaches an optoelectronic device housed within the optoelectronic package. In one example, the optoelectronic package includes an optoelectronic device, a wave plate, and a linear polarizer. The optoelectronic device is configured to emit an optical signal along an optical path. The wave plate is positioned in the optical path of the optoelectronic device. The linear polarizer is positioned in the optical path of the optoelectronic device between the optoelectronic device and the wave plate.
