    摘要: Optical components and associated methods of manufacturing are provided. An example optical component includes a body defined by an optical interposer substrate and a passivation layer applied to the optical interposer substrate. The optical interposer substrate defines a first surface of the body, and the passivation layer defines a second surface of the body opposite the first surface. The passivation layer includes a metallic shielding element configured to prevent interference between the first surface and the second surface. The optical component further includes an opening extending from the second surface to the optical interposer substrate, the opening defining an optical path through the passivation layer. The optical interposer substrate receives an optical signal from an optical transmitter supported by the second surface via the optical path.

    摘要: An internally wireless datacenter rack configured to support datacenter computing equipment is provided. The datacenter rack includes a housing configured to receive a first networking box including a printed circuit board assembly and one or more wireless connectors in electrical communication with the printed circuit board assembly. The housing includes a second networking box including a printed circuit board assembly and one or more wireless connectors in electrical communication with the printed circuit board assembly. The one or more wireless connectors convert between electrical signals and optical signals. The datacenter rack includes a wireless free space region within the housing, and the wireless free space region includes a wireless reflective backplane that allows free space wireless communication between the first networking box and the second networking box.

    摘要: An optical component assembly is provided including a substrate. The assembly includes an optical transmitter configured to transmit an optical signal, an optical receiver configured to receive the optical signal, and an optical waveguide extending between the optical transmitter and the optical receiver. The assembly further includes a frangible region defining a first portion of the substrate and a second portion of the substrate, wherein the frangible region is configured to allow the first portion to be separated from the second portion. The assembly may be configured to be modified from a testing configuration, in which the first portion is integrally connected to the second portion via the frangible region, to an operational configuration, in which the first portion is separated from the second portion such that communication of optical signals between the optical transmitter and the optical receiver is precluded.

    摘要: Optical communication modules and associated methods and computer program products for performing network communication security are provided. An example optical module includes a substrate, a first optoelectronic component supported by the substrate configured for operation with optical signals having a first wavelength, and a second optoelectronic component supported by the substrate configured for operation with optical signals having a second wavelength. The module further includes an optical communication medium defining a first end in optical communication with the first optoelectronic component and the second optoelectronic component and a second end. The module also includes security circuitry operably connected with the first optoelectronic component and the second optoelectronic component. The security circuitry determines the presence of a noncompliant component coupled with the optical communication medium at the second end based upon operation of the second optoelectronic component.
