摘要:
A multichannel fiber optic module has an electromagnetic shield surrounding high frequency electrical components which is electrically and mechanically coupled to one or more guide rails near edges of a printed circuit board. The one or more guide rails of the printed circuit board include a ground trace on the top and/or bottom surfaces of the printed circuit board. The fiber optic module can be hot inserted into a module cage which has guide rail slots for mating with the guide rails of the fiber optic module. Through the guide rail slots, electromagnetic radiation from the fiber optic module is shunted to a ground plane to which the module cage is coupled on a host chassis ground. Standard singular fiber receptacles are used for the parallel data link modules to allow field cable termination.

Semiconductor lasers are formed by integrating an electrically pumped semiconductor laser, a beam steering element and a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) together. The electrically pumped semiconductor laser is modulated to modulate a pump beam of photons at a first wavelength. The beam steering element directs the pump beam to the VCSEL to provide optical pumping. The VCSEL receives the pump beam of photons at the first wavelength and is stimulated to emit photons of a laser beam at a second wavelength longer than the first. In embodiments, index guiding is provided in the VCSEL to improve the optical pumping and emission efficiencies when the pump beam is modulated at high frequencies. Embodiments of the beam steering element include a silicon bench, a polymer element, and a facet included in the edge emitting laser and an external mirror. Embodiments of index guiding include an air gap to form a mesa and an oxide confinement ring shaped layer.

Monolithic integrated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser devices are disclosed including an edge-emitting semiconductor pump laser (PL), an optically-pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), and a means for deflecting and shaping the output beam of the pump laser to optically excite the VCSEL. The optically-pumped VCSEL structure may be adapted to include a resonant cavity with multiple fixed wavelengths, or a resonance cavity whose wavelength is continuously tunable. Wafer level manufacturing techniques are also disclosed.

These devices can be employed as switches in the driving circuits of active matrix displays, e.g., in electrophoretic, rotating element and liquid crystal displays. The switching devices include two electrodes, and a layer of a broad band semiconducting material residing between the electrodes. According to one example, the cathode comprises a metal having a low work function, the anode comprises an organic material having a p+ or p++ type of conductivity, and the broad band semiconductor comprises a metal oxide. The work function difference between the cathode and the anode material is preferably at least about 0.6 eV. The on/off current ratios of at least 10,000 over a voltage range of about 15 V can be achieved. The devices can be formed, if desired, on flexible polymeric substrates having low melting points.
