摘要:
A package is described that couples a twelve channel wide fiber optic cable to a twelve channel Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) transmitter and a multiple channel Perpendicularly Aligned Integrated Die (PAID) receiver. The package allows for reduction in the height of the assembly package by vertically orienting certain dies parallel to the fiber optic cable and horizontally orienting certain other dies. The assembly allows the vertically oriented optoelectronic dies to be perpendicularly attached to the horizontally oriented laminate via a flexible circuit.

A structure that includes a substrate, typically a semiconductor chip such as a VCSEL or photodetector chip, and a guide for aligning a signal conveying device, typically an optical fiber, to a transducer such as an optoelectronic device on the semiconductor chip. The guide is formed, in a preferred embodiment, by lithographically exposing and developing a thick layer of photoresist. The structure is assembled by placing and securing the signal conveying device into a cavity-like region of the guide.
摘要:
A direct optical connector (DOC) comprised of first and second members, each including a plurality of light emitting and light detecting locations, operative in combination with energy transfer media to form direct optical connections between the light emitting locations and the light detecting locations, wherein said first and second members are adapted for reclosable connection to each other whereupon the light emitting locations on one member are aligned with the light detecting locations on the other member. The first and second members of the preferred DOC are modular. Alternative forms of energy transfer media are used in various embodiments of the invention including lenslet arrays, imaging fiber plates (IFPs), and energy transfer fiber plates (ETFPs). These media have differing alignment criteria, differing degrees of immunity from crosstalk, differing degrees of transfer efficiency, different manufacturing costs, etc., thereby permitting the fabrication and/or use of a connector most suited to meet the requirements of a particular application.A modular half of a DOC can be used in conjunction with a remote optical connector (ROC) to channel light over relatively long distances. The invention also encompasses processes for fabricating ROCs.

A method for providing X,Y and Z alignment during fabrication of an optical subassembly (OSA) by active alignment and fixing with epoxy through the agency of radio frequency (RF) heating in order to provide acceptable feedback-induced noise level along with acceptable coupling efficiency.
摘要:
An optical subassembly for transferring light between an optoelectronic converter and an optical fiber where the housing and the lens are of plastic in which the housing is made to dimensions within the precision of molded plastic and the lens imparts focusing properties that compensate for the limitations of the plastic technology. Alignment in the X-Y plane only is employed. The lens has a first surface focused on the optoelectronic converter which substantially collimates the light through the lens and a second surface that introduces deliberate longitudinal spherical aberration that compensates for component position. Attachment or fixing of the optoelectronic converter to the housing is accomplished by RF heating a TO can to quickly cure an epoxylayer.

Processes for thermal transfer printing are disclosed which comprise electroerosion printing to produce an image bearing element and exposing the imaged element to irradiation so as to permit transfer of thermographic ink from an associated ink layer or ink-containing element onto an ink receiving substrate thus producing copies of the image carried by the image bearing element. Also, described are products for use in such processes.

Improved electroerosion recording media are described in which ablatable polymers are used in the electroerosion recording medium. This medium includes at least a substrate or support layer, a base layer which protects the substrate, a thin film of conductive material on the base layer and which can be eroded, and a protective overcoat layer. Ablatable polymers are used as binders in either the base layer or the top protective layer, or both, in order to provide advantages during electroerosion. These ablatable polymers undergo thermally induced depolymerization in such a way that the result is the formation of volatile monomeric or low molecular weight species as the predominant products, with little or no adherent residue.
摘要:
SLM field access bubble devices which include at least one conductor crossing a bubble propagation path have severely limited operating margins (especially for small bubbles) for the bubble in the vicinity of the conductor. Apparatus and method for operating such a bubble device is disclosed which improves the device operation in this region. The improved apparatus and method provides an additional field source with a sense and magnitude to support the bubble when it reaches the conductor region. Such a field source, as disclosed, includes a current pulse in the conductor.
