Abstract: A multiport passive photonic light circuit chip has multiple waveguides written in at least two layers on a glass substrate. Some waveguides connect transmitting and receiving ports of an optical channel, some waveguides redirect a fraction of optical signals to some other receiving ports, and waveguides have circular cross-sectional shapes wherein a refractive index contrast is in the range of 0.2% to 2%.

Abstract: A low latency free-space optical data communication channel has at least two opposing parabolic mirrors for transmitting an optical communication signal in the form of a parallel beam across a free-space channel. The input and output of the collimators are multicore optical fibers. Multiple cores of the multicore optical fibers are positioned at the focal points of the at least two opposing parabolic mirrors and the at least two opposing parabolic mirrors image the optical communications signal in each core of the multiple cores of the multicore fibers into corresponding cores of opposing multicore fibers forming at least one optical communication channel.

Abstract: A system for the transmission of optical and electrical signals has two optical connectors wherein each of the connectors have a metal ferrule electrically connected to a conductor. The system also has an adapter wherein having the connectors optically connected to each other via the adapter also electrically connects the conductor of optical connectors via the metal ferrules of the first and second optical connectors. Alternatively, a system can have first and second optical connectors wherein each of the connectors have an outer housing with a conductive interior surface. This system also has an adapter with at least one metal split sleeve wherein having the connectors optically connected to each other via the adapter also electrically connects optical connectors via the conductive interior surface of the outer housing of each optical connector contacting the at least one metal split sleeve.

Abstract: An apparatus having a plurality of multifiber connector interfaces, where some of these multifiber connector interfaces can connect to network equipment in a network using multifiber cables, has an internal mesh implemented in two tiers. The first is configured to rearrange and the second is configured to recombine individual fiber of the different fiber groups. The light path of each transmitter and receiver is matched in order to provide proper optical connections from transmitting to receiving fibers and complex arbitrary network topologies can be implemented with at least 1/N less point to point interconnections, where N=number of channels per multifiber connector interface.

Abstract: A low latency free-space optical data communication channel has at least one optical collimator for transmitting an optical communication signal in the form of a parallel beam across a free-space channel. The input of the collimator includes a connectorized optical fiber pigtail for connecting said collimator to a glass optical fiber carrying the signal to be transmitted across the free-space channel. The optical beam propagates in free space along the longitudinal axis of a raceway, which is at least partially enclosed. The second optical collimator located at the distant end of said raceway, is positioned to receive the free-space optical communication signal. The received signal is focused into a second optical fiber pigtail at the output side of the collimator, thereby resulting in a pigtailed free-space low latency optical channel link.

Abstract: Various implementations of visual inspector attachments for fiber connector cleaners are disclosed. The example fiber optic inspection module includes a camera to capture an image of an end-face, a light source to illuminate the end-face, and a first mirror that reflects light from the light source to the end-face and includes a fixed point that allows the first mirror to pivot. Alternatively, an example fiber optic inspection module includes a camera to capture an image of an end-face, a light source to illuminate the end-face, and a first mirror that reflects light from the light source to the end-face and the first mirror moves in an upward direction.
