    摘要: An opto-electronic module connector system is mountable on a system substrate, such as a printed circuit board, in a variety of configurations or orientations and includes an electromagnetic interference (EMI)-shielding enclosure, a connector assembly, and a socket. The connector assembly includes a connector body, a connector printed circuit board, a substantially planar contact holder, electrical contact fingers mounted on the contact holder, and an opto-electronic module. When the EMI-shielding enclosure and socket are mounted on the system substrate, a user can readily insert the connector assembly into the EMI-shielding enclosure and plug it into the socket. A user can likewise readily remove the connector assembly from the EMI-shielding enclosure and socket for maintenance, cleaning, repair or other purposes.

    摘要: A consumer input/output (CIO) optical transceiver module, an active optical cable that incorporates a CIO optical transceiver module, and a method for using a CIO optical transceiver module in an active optical cable are provided. In contrast to optical transceiver modules currently used in active optical cables, which utilize parallel arrays of laser diodes and parallel arrays of photodiodes, the CIO optical transceiver module includes two singlet laser diodes and two singlet photodiodes for providing two high-speed transmit channels and two high-speed receive channels, respectively. Because the singlet laser diodes and photodiodes of the CIO optical transceiver module are less costly than the parallel arrays of laser diodes and parallel arrays of photodiodes that are used in known active optical cables, the CIO optical transceiver module can be manufactured at relatively low costs with high quality, and therefore is well suited for consumer applications.

    摘要: A modular connector assembly is provided that has both an electrical coupling configuration that complies with the RJ-45 wiring standard and an optical coupling configuration that provides the assembly with optical communications capabilities. In addition, the modular connector assembly is configured to have backwards compatibility with existing 8P8C jacks and plugs that implement the RJ-45 wiring standard. Consequently, the modular connector assembly may be used to communicate optical data signals at higher data rates (e.g., 10 Gb/s and higher) or to communicate electrical data signals at lower data rates (e.g., 1 Gb/s).

    摘要: A Monolithic Sampler is disclosed. The present invention overcomes the problem of inadequately low sampling rates that results from circuit designs or component limitations that constrain the bandwidths of previous instruments. The sampler includes five circuit stages: a local oscillator section that may be used to drive the system, a shock wave generator that produces high frequency edge-sharpened pulses, a reflection damping clamping section, a delay section, and a sampler section regulated by the stream of shock waves which produces an IF output. The local oscillator or a pulse generator (not shown) produces an input that propagates down a nonlinear transmission line. Once this input reaches the shock wave generator section, it encounters a series of hyperabrupt diodes which are employed as voltage dependent capacitors called varactors. These varactors deform the input pulses and generate a stream of spike-shaped waveforms known as shock waves. The shock waves successively energize sampling diodes in the sampling section of the circuit. When these diodes are energized, they open pathways from an RF input to sampling capacitors which charge up with small representative bits of current from the input. A sample or snapshot of the input is drawn from these capacitors through an IF output coupling network. The clamping and delay sections of the sampler minimize spurious ringing throughout the circuit and manage the timing of the oscillation of these reflections. The entire sampler is monolithically integrated on a single substrate using conventional semiconductor fabrication and packaging techniques.

    摘要: An optical cable system includes switching circuitry, a resistance network, optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry, and electrical-to-optical conversion circuitry. The electrical-to-optical conversion circuitry can convert an electrical transmit signal into an optical transmit signal. When the optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry detects a received optical signal having an optical power exceeding a threshold, the optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry produces a switching signal that causes the switching circuitry to couple the resistance network to a terminal or other node associated with the electrical transmit signal, thereby changing the impedance at that node as perceived by plug-in detection circuitry of a device such as a computer or peripheral.
