    摘要: An optical clock system for high-performance computing systems uses unique methods of clock generation, delay timing, and electrical clock conversion to eliminate clock skew due to passive circuit elements. There is provided a direct optical connection to active devices in the computing system thereby eliminating the transmission of electrical clock signals through passive transmission elements. The optical clock system eliminates several stages of clock drivers and, as a result, is capable of reducing clock skew due to active circuit skew as well. In one embodiment, an optical pulse timing operator (10) produces ultrashort pulses which are equally divided by an 1-by-N splitter (16) into N optical fibers (18), where N depends on the number of clock signals required. Each fiber has a different length, resulting in different propagation times for the optical pulses. The light from each of the N fibers are again split into M fibers by N 1-by-M splitters (20), where M depends upon the number of distribution points for the clock. The N.times.M fibers are regrouped to form a bundle of N fibers, and these M fiber bundles are then coupled to each module (22) where the delayed optical signals are converted into the appropriate electrical clock signals.

    摘要: A method for making an optical fiber transmission apparatus for limiting the optical modes which were emitted from a source in such a way to impinge on an optical fiber to extract a high bandwidth from the fiber. The apparatus includes a lens or aperture to control the angle and distribution of light launched into the fiber. The apparatus achieves reproducibly high bandwidths in large core step-index optical fibers of short transmission length distances. The lens or aperture introduces light from the source into the fiber at an angle at which substantially no intermode delay occurs as the light propagates down the fiber. An integral fiber optic coupling assembly that includes an optical electronic component receptacle, the lens and/or aperture, and an optical fiber connector interface which provides low cost easy to manufacture assembly is also disclosed. A unitary plastic housing provides the function of a lens and mechanical reference or locating features for the light source and optical fiber.

    摘要: A method for depositing a micron-size metallic film on a transparent substrate by thermal deposition employing a focused visible laser. The method includes the step of positioning the substrate in a gas cell containing a metal bearing gaseous compound. A nucleation layer is formed on a surface of the substrate by either shining an ultraviolet light on the substrate surface or by heating the substrate to a temperature which is less than the temperature at which the molecules of the gaseous compound decompose. Next, a laser which may be visible or near infrared is focused onto the substrate to provide localized heating of the area of the substrate to which the beam is incident. Molecules of the gaseous compound thermally decompose on the heated area to deposit a metal film thereon.

C. and 500.degree. C. to brown the polymer before the polymer is exposed to the laser which heats it to a temperature above 500.degree. C.
