Abstract:
Provided are an optical coupler and an optical device including the same. The optical coupler includes: a substrate; a buffer layer on the substrate; and an optical coupling layer including a horizontal mode expander layer and a vertical mode expander layer, wherein the horizontal mode expander layer expands in one direction on the buffer layer, and wherein the vertical mode expander layer adjusts a stepped difference between the horizontal mode expander layer and a plurality of optical transmission devices having different diameters or sectional areas and connected to both sides of the horizontal mode expander layer, and the vertical mode expander layer is disposed on a side of the horizontal mode expander layer to minimize optical loss between the plurality of optical transmission devices.
Abstract:
An optical receiver module includes a demultiplexer, an optical device including a right-angled mirror reflecting individual optical signals transmitted from the demultiplexer and a plurality of lenses receiving the reflected optical signals, and a plurality of photodetectors spaced apart from the plurality of lenses by a predetermined distance. The plurality of photodetectors converts the individual optical signals into electrical signals. The optical device and the demultiplexer are formed into a united structure. A distance between the lenses is equal to a distance between the photodetectors.
Abstract:
An optical receiver module may include a demultiplexer routing a plurality of multiplexed optical signals to different optical paths depending on their wavelengths, a photodetector provided spaced apart from the demultiplexer to convert the optical signals into electric signals, respectively, a pre-amplifier electrically connected to the photodetector to amplify intensities of the electric signals, a flexible printed circuit board including a first electrode layer, which is electrically connected to the pre-amplifier to transmit the electric signals to the external circuit, and a second electrode layer configured to supply a ground potential. The flexible printed circuit board are provided not to have any via hole between the first and second electrode layers.
