摘要:
A method of splicing a pair of optical fibers including, molding a base with a groove therein extending from a first inlet to a second inlet with a tapered portion at each inlet to act as a guide during the positioning of the fibers. Positioning the ends of the optical fibers in the inlets of the groove and introducing an index matching fluid into the groove. A cover having a hole therethrough may be positioned over the groove and the fluid introduced through the hole. The fluid is cured to hold the fibers fixedly in the groove and form an optical link therebetween. The cover may be molded with a perpendicular groove therein and photonic devices mounted in the cover groove.

An optical interface including a keyway formed in a printed circuit board and a mating portion attached to the ends of a plurality of optical fibers. Openings in a surface of the keyway communicate light from the fibers to semiconductor chips on the board by means of optical waveguides formed in the dielectric layers of the printed circuit board. The keyway accurately aligns the mating portion which aligns the ends of the fibers with the openings.
摘要:
An interface between a laminated polymer optical waveguide (15) and an electronic device (39). The interface does not degrade the desirable properties of the optical waveguide (15), is simple, is low cost, and is compatible with integrated circuit technology as well as optical and electrical connectors (41,42,43,46). The interface includes at least one vertical cavity surface emitting laser or photosensitive diode (11,37) mounted above the surface of the optical waveguide (15). A mirror (21) positioned at an angle with respect to the optical waveguide (15) serves to reflect light between either the vertical cavity surface emitting laser or photosensitive diode (11,37) and the optical waveguide (15). At least one microstrip line (16) couples electrical signals between the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (11,37) and the electronic device (39).

摘要:
An actuator-based latching/delatching mechanism in combination with an optical module includes a housing having a front face with an opening and an optical transceiver designed to be nestingly engaged in the opening. A front surface of the transceiver is flush with the face of the housing in a fully nestingly engaged orientation. A pivot arm is pivotally mounted adjacent a rear end of the housing for pivotal movement between a latching orientation in which the transceiver is fully nestingly engaged in the housing and a delatching orientation in which a force pivots the arm against the transceiver to move the transceiver out of the engaged orientation. An actuator, with an end accessible exterior of the housing, is mounted in the housing for movements from latching to delatching orientations in response to a force applied to the end of the actuator.
摘要:
An optoelectric module includes a cylindrical ferrule defining an optical axis and having a first end constructed to receive an optical fiber aligned along the optical axis. A TO-can is positioned within the ferrule and has a first end with an optical element therein for conducting light therethrough. A base is affixed to the second end of the TO-can and to the second end of the ferrule. A laser is mounted within the TO-can so that light generated by the laser is directed through the optical element along the optical axis. A laser driver is mounted on the base and electrically connected to the laser. External connections to the laser driver are completed by either electrical traces on a surface of the base, vias through the base, or flexible leads mounted on the base.

An optoelectric module includes a cylindrical ferrule defining an optical axis and having a first end constructed to receive an optical fiber aligned along the optical axis. An optical element, including a lens, is engaged in the ferrule between the first and second ends and positioned to convey light along the optical axis. The second end of the ferrule is closed by a base. An optical component is mounted on the base so that light is directed through the lens from the optical component to the optical fiber or from the optical fiber to the optical component. Either a laser driver or an amplifier is mounted on the base and electrically connected to the optical component and external connections are made to the laser driver or the amplifier by electrical traces on a surface of the base, vias through the base, or flex leads mounted on the base.
