    Abstract: A light source includes a substrate with a first surface and an opposite second surface. An epitaxial layer is positioned on the first surface of the substrate. The light source also includes at least one light generator in the epitaxial layer positioned such that an optical signal transmitted thereby is directed toward the substrate. A diffuser is positioned on the second surface of the substrate, and at least one monitor photodetector is positioned in the epitaxial layer in an arrangement configured to receive a portion of the optical signal which is reflected by the diffuser. In one form, the light generator may include a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL).

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to printed circuit boards or printed circuit board assemblies for fiber optic communications. In one example, an optoelectronic assembly may include a printed circuit board including a laser-roughened area, at least one optoelectronic component coupled to a surface of the printed circuit board, and an optical component attached to the printed circuit board. The coupling area may be defined by the optical component contacting the printed circuit board, and the laser-roughened area may be positioned entirely within the coupling area defined by the optical component contacting the printed circuit board.

    Abstract: A system and method for measuring optical power is described. The optical system and method may include a module configured to generate a secondly modulated signal based on secondly modulating a firstly modulated signal with an amplitude modulated signal. The firstly modulated signal may include data that is modulated for transmission by a laser diode array. The firstly modulated signal may then be secondly modulated using amplitude modulation techniques. The system may further include a photodiode configured to generate a photodiode current based on optically sensing a laser diode array. The laser diode array outputs an optical output power based on being driven by the secondly modulated signal. The system may yet further include a controller configured to calculate the optical output power from the photodiode current based on the amplitude modulated signal.

    Abstract: A system may include a wafer that includes ICs and defines cavities. Each cavity may be formed in a BEOL layer of the wafer and proximate a different IC. The system may also include an interposer that includes a transparent layer configured to permit optical signals to pass through. The interposer may also include at least one waveguide located proximate the transparent layer. The at least one waveguide may be configured to adiabatically couple at least one optical signal out of the multiple ICs. Further, the interposer may include a redirecting element optically coupled to the at least one the waveguide. The redirecting element may be located proximate the transparent layer and may be configured to receive the at least one optical signal from the at least one waveguide. The redirecting element may also be configured to vertically redirect the at least one optical signal towards the transparent layer.

    Abstract: In an example, an optoelectronic module may include a housing enclosing at least one optical transmitter or receiver and a slider configured to move with respect to the housing. The slider may include at least one protrusion configured to engage a cage sized and shaped to receive the housing. The optoelectronic module may include a bail rotatably coupled to the housing, and the bail may be configured to actuate the slider when the bail is rotated. The optoelectronic module may include a retainer configured to engage with the housing and the bail to retain the bail in a fixed position with respect to the housing.

    Abstract: An integrated optical component includes at least one input waveguide, at least one output waveguide; a first slab waveguide having a first refractive index, n1. The first slab waveguide may be disposed between at least one of the input waveguides and at least one of the output waveguides. The integrated optical component may further include a second slab waveguide having a second refractive index, n2. The integrated optical component may also include a third cladding slab having a third refractive index, n3. The third cladding slab may be disposed between the first slab and the second slab. The thickness of the second slab waveguide and the thickness of the third slab waveguide are adjustable to reduce a birefringence of the integrated optical component.

    Abstract: An example method of assembling an optoelectronic assembly may include aligning a receptacle with a sleeve that may have a radial flange and with a ferrule that may have a light propagation axis. The method may include axially displacing one or more of the receptacle, the sleeve, and the ferrule such that the receptacle may be positioned at least partially within the sleeve and may at least partially surround the ferrule. The method may include aligning a fiber stub that may have a fiber stub pigtail and a fiber stub flange with the receptacle. The method may include axially displacing one or both of the fiber stub and the receptacle such that the fiber stub may be positioned in close proximity with the ferrule. The method may include coupling the sleeve via the radial flange and the fiber stub via the fiber stub flange with a retention device.
