    摘要: An optical packaging arrangement combines a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) having an array of waveguides thereon, an array of photodetectors on a substrate to receive light beams coupled out of the PLC by the output ports, and a collimating faceplate, having a plurality of glass cores, extending between the PLC and the photodetector array for coupling the output light beams to respective photodetectors. The faceplate forms a cover for a hermetic cavity encompassing the photodetectors. The PLC is disposed either co-planarly with the faceplate or transversely to it. Light from the PLC is tapped via a plurality of taps formed on the PLC for coupling to the photodetectors.

    摘要: A redundant package for optical components includes an inner package enclosing the optical component, and an outer package enclosing the inner package. A heater may be disposed in the inner package proximate the optical component to control its temperature, and to maintain this temperature control, the outer package creates an isolated air pocket around the inner package which thermally insulates the inner package from the outside environment. The outer package is formed of a material having low thermal conductivity, to promote this insulating function. This package is especially useful if the optical component comprises a planar lightwave circuit (PLC), e.g., an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), which requires tight temperature control and structural integrity to maintain the integrity of the optical paths.

    摘要: An optical component package, in which a transfer molded layer of material (e.g., syntactic foam in one embodiment) is formed at least partially around, or entirely around, the optical component to provide structural and thermal insulation around the component. The optical component may be a planar lightwave circuit (PLC), with a protective passivation layer formed between the PLC and the layer of syntactic foam, to de-couple stresses and thermal transfer between the PLC and the layer of syntactic foam. Strengthening caps, fiber assemblies, and a heater may be provided with the PLC assembly, around which the layer of syntactic foam can also be formed. The protective passivation layer can also be formed between these structures and the syntactic foam; in one embodiment between at least two strengthening caps formed on opposing edges of the PLC. The disclosed package provides numerous structural, thermal and size benefits.

    摘要: An improved thin film PV module and simplified fabrication process are provided that achieve higher PV module efficiency, while eliminating expensive process steps, and reducing the capital cost of thin film processing equipment. A lamination material, characterized by high reflectivity as well as thermal conductivity and emissivity, is provided directly adjacent the active region of a thin film stack, eliminating the need for complex sputtering or deposition process steps ordinarily required for providing a reflective layer. The lamination material reflects unabsorbed light back into the thin film stack, thereby increasing photocurrent generation, and obviating the need for a reflective metallization layer. The lamination layer and back sheet for sealing the light-absorbing stack against the ingress of moisture also can be applied in a single process step.

    摘要: A thermally conductive material is provided adjacent to or close to the active light-absorbing surface in silicon PV modules made with x-Si or p-Si cells or in thin film PV modules. The material is characterized by high thermal conduction and emissivity as well as high reflectance with respect to the solar spectrum. An exterior portion of the thermally conductive material is wrapped around the rearward facing, shaded surface of the PV module, thereby defining a thermal gradient for conduction of heat from the interior of the PV module to the cooler exterior, where heat is dissipated into the ambient surroundings. The thermally conductive, highly reflective material may be incorporated in or otherwise integrated with a lamination material used to adhere the back sheet to the front sheet of a thin film PV module.
