The optical waveguide with the inclined reflection surface manufactured using the optical waveguide master facilitates coupling between the active optical electronic device and the waveguide, thereby perfectly overcoming difficulty in conventional mass production. The optical waveguide makes it possible to accomplish connection between various optical devices and optical circuits, and becomes source technology of an optical printed circuit board (PCB) and a system on package (SOP) in the future.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and structure for optical connection between an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. The method includes the steps of: forming on a substrate a light source device, an optical detection device, an optical transmission unit electrically connected with the light source device, and an optical detection unit electrically connected with the optical detection device; preparing a flexible optical transmission-connection medium to optically connect the light source device with the optical detection device; cutting the prepared optical transmission-connection medium and surface-finishing it; and connecting one end of the surface-finished optical transmission-connection medium with the light source device and the other end with the optical detection device. Fabrication of an optical package having a 3-dimensional structure is facilitated and fabrication time is reduced, thus improving productivity. In addition, since the optical transmission-connection medium is directly connected with the light source device and the optical detection device, a polishing operation or additional connection block is not required, thus facilitating mass production.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a parallel optical interconnection module for transmitting an optical signal over an optical fiber and receiving an optical signal from the optical fiber. According to the present invention, a reflection surface is formed at the end of the optical waveguide forming a core so that the path of light can be exactly changed and is focused. A light source/photodetector is buried within a trench using the silicon optical bench and an optical waveguide is manually aligned on the surface of the silicon optical bench, so that alignment error between the light source/photodetector and the optical waveguide can be minimized. A ferrule into which the optical waveguide is inserted is fixed to an adaptor so that alignment error between the optical waveguide and the light source/photodetector is minimized. Therefore, the present invention can minimize the coupling loss in the process during which the optical signal is transmitted to increase the optical output. Further, the present invention allows easy optical interconnection by means of a manual alignment and can increase the productivity.
