摘要:
An optical interface including a keyway formed in a printed circuit board and a mating portion attached to the ends of a plurality of optical fibers. Openings in a surface of the keyway communicate light from the fibers to semiconductor chips on the board by means of optical waveguides formed in the dielectric layers of the printed circuit board. The keyway accurately aligns the mating portion which aligns the ends of the fibers with the openings.
摘要:
A method of coupling an optical fiber to a desired optical input wherein the optical fiber is pre-coated with a magnetic material and then placed in an elongated groove in a base, one end of which groove terminates at the desired optical input. A magnetic field is applied to hold the pre-coated optical fiber firmly in place while it is permanently mounted by some means such as soldering or an adhesive.
摘要:
An optical fiber mounted on a substrate and a semiconductor component mounted on a second substrate. The substrates abutting so that the component and fiber are optically aligned and the assembly is held in place by a first layer of adhesive which is then covered with an electroformed layer of metal to form a robust unit.
摘要:
A method of splicing a pair of optical fibers including, molding a base with a groove therein extending from a first inlet to a second inlet with a tapered portion at each inlet to act as a guide during the positioning of the fibers. Positioning the ends of the optical fibers in the inlets of the groove and introducing an index matching fluid into the groove. A cover having a hole therethrough may be positioned over the groove and the fluid introduced through the hole. The fluid is cured to hold the fibers fixedly in the groove and form an optical link therebetween. The cover may be molded with a perpendicular groove therein and photonic devices mounted in the cover groove.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a molded waveguide (50) is provided. A first cladding layer (20) is provided. Channels (21) are formed in the first cladding layer (20). A second cladding layer (40) is subsequently provided. The channels (21) in the first cladding layer (20) are then filled with an optically transparent polymer. The second cladding layer (40) is subsequently affixed over the channels (21) of the first cladding layer (20), thereby enclosing the channels (21).

摘要:
An optical electronic coupling device (100) including a molded waveguide (101, 301, 401) having a plurality of core regions (105) surrounded by a cladding region (103). Cross-sections of the core regions (105) are exposed in an opening (113, 213,313) at one end of the waveguide. An optical cable (102, 303) having a plurality of optical fibers (107, 108, 109, 300) with core regions (123, 124, 125) is inserted into the opening (113, 213, 313), thereby aligning the core regions (123, 124, 125) of the optical fibers (107, 108, 109, 300) with the exposed cross-sections (122) of the core regions (105) of the optical electronic device (100).

An interconnect substrate (116) having a surface (105) with a plurality of electrical tracings (115) disposed thereon. A photonic device (114) having a working portion (118) and having a contact (106) electrically coupled to one of the plurality of electrical tracings (115) disposed on the interconnect substrate (116). A molded optical portion (112) that encapsulates the photonic device (114) is formed. The molded optical portion (112) forms a surface (120). The surface (120) passes light between the photonic device (114) and an optical fiber(103). Alignment of optical fiber 103 is achieved by an alignment apparatus (117) that is formed in the molded optical portion (112).
