    Abstract: Multi-functional units incorporating lighting capabilities in converged networks, and related networks and methods are disclosed. The multi-functional units are configured to be included at end points in a wireless communications network to serve as distribution points for distribution of communications services. Each multi-functional unit includes a plurality of wireless communications circuits in a single unit or housing to support multiple communications services. Thus, a single multi-functional unit can be installed in a location to support the multiple communications services to minimize installation footprint. To further conserve installation footprint, the wireless communications network can be provided as a converged network that includes a single communications backbone to converge multiple networks for the multiple communications services supported by the multi-functional units. Further, by the multi-functional units also supporting lighting capabilities, the multi-functional units may be installed in lighting fixture locations to minimize the footprint.

    Abstract: A high-density optical fiber cable interconnect includes a fiber ribbon or fiber ribbon cable having at least one fiber ribbon and first and second ends. The fiber ribbon is formed from small diameter optical fibers arranged in at least one row, with each fiber having a glass section and a non-glass coating section surrounding the glass section. The diameter of the non-glass coating section can be less than 205 microns. A matrix layer encapsulates the small diameter optical fibers to define the fiber ribbon. A first optical connector terminates the first end of the fiber ribbon or fiber ribbon cable and has a first fiber pitch correspond to a standard optical fiber connector. A second optical connector terminates the second end of the fiber ribbon or fiber ribbon cable and has a second fiber pitch less than that of a standard optical fiber connector.

    Abstract: A fused silica glass article having greater resistance to damage induced by exposure to laser radiation such as laser induced wavefront distortion at deep ultraviolet (DUV) wavelengths, and behaviors such as fluence dependent transmission, which are related to intrinsic defects in the glass. The improved resistance to laser damage may be achieved in some embodiments by loading the glass article with molecular hydrogen (H2) at temperatures of about 400° C. or less, or 350° C. or less. The combined OH and deuteroxyl (OD) concentration may be less than 10 ppm by weight. In other embodiments, the improved resistance may be achieved by providing the glass with 10 to 60 ppm deuteroxyl (OD) species by weight. In still other embodiments, improved resistance to such laser damage may be achieved by both loading the glass article with molecular hydrogen at temperatures of about 350° C. or less and providing the glass with less than 10 ppm combined OH and OD, or 10 to 60 ppm OD by weight.
