An etalon used in analyzing a wavelength of a light source includes ant etalon only in a portion of a substrate in which the etalon is integrated. Use of such an etalon in monitoring or controlling the wavelength allows the etalon to be placed in an application beam. A portion of the application beam is split into at least two beams, a first beam being directed to the etalon to monitor the wavelength, and the other beam either serving purely as a reference beam or passing through another etalon having a different optical path length than the etalon for the first beam, thereby also monitoring the wavelength. The monitor itself would include at least two photodetector, one for each of the beam split off of the input beam. Any or all substrates containing the elements for the monitor may be created on a wafer level and diced and/or bonded to other wafers containing other elements and diced.

A power monitor for a light emitter uses an absorptive material placed in the path of the application beam. The absorptive has a measurable characteristics thereof altered by an intensity of the light beam, the absorptive material being thin enough to allow a portion of the light beam sufficient for a desired application to be passed to the desired application. Preferably, an anti-reflective coating is placed between the absorptive material and the light emitting device. The absorptive material may be formed directly on the light emitting device or may be formed on or integrated with a spacer.

Etching in combination with other processing techniques is used to facilitate alignment of an optical die in an optical system. The optical dies are formed on a wafer level and need to be singulated for use in the optical system. The formation of a precise edge from etching allows more accurate alignment of the optical die in the optical system. The other processing techniques include dicing, sawing, cleaving, breaking and thinning.

An optical subassembly includes an opto-electronic device, an optics block and a spacer, separate from the optics block and providing spacing between the opto-electronic device and the optics block. The opto-electronic device, the optics block and the spacer are aligned and bonded together. This subassembly is particularly useful when coupling light between the opto-electronic device and a fiber. The optical subassembly may also include an opto-electronic device, an optics block and a sealing structure surrounding the opto-electronic device. The opto-electronic device, the optics block and the sealing structure are aligned and bonded together.
摘要:
A waveguide to waveguide monitor includes an optics block between the two waveguides. The optics block couples light between the two waveguides and includes at least two parallel surfaces. The monitor also has an optical tap which creates a monitor beam. The optics block may be flush with the endfaces of the waveguides, even if the endfaces are angled. At least two optical elements needed to couple the light between the two optical waveguides and direct the monitor beam on a detector are on the at least two parallel surfaces of the optics block and any surfaces secured thereto.

An interface system includes separate optical and mechanical interfaces between opto-electronic devices and fibers. This allows each of these components to be optimized for there particular function. This also allows two surfaces to be provided for the optical interface, allowing the opto-electronic elements to be spaced further apart than the fibers. The interface system can be integrated together, used in conjunction with a conventional fiber housing, and can be surface mounted with an electrical interface.
