Optoelectronic coupling circuit with change-over switch

For low-loss optical switching between one optical waveguide on the input side and two optical waveguides on the output side, it is known to arrange the end face of the one optical waveguide in an accessible manner between the end faces of the two other waveguides. As a result of the comparatively low switching rate and of the additionally occurring coupling losses, a fast low-loss optical coupling circuit is desirable. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that an optoelectronic coupling circuit is constructed by means of dielectric waveguides, a control electrode to which an electric control signal can be applied being provided above at least one of these waveguides, and being a laser diode and/or photodiode arranged in optical connection. ...

The optical demultiplexer is formed from semiconductor material and includes a strip shaped waveguide (1). The waveguide (1) contains an amplifier, and is connected to a taper (3). The taper widens the waveguide in the lateral and if necessary the vertical direction. A reflecting device, at the connecting end on the taper in one of the waveguide layer planes, reflects the beam coming out of the waveguide into an array of detectors (5) vertical to the layer plane of the waveguide. Each detector of the array senses a different frequency from the grating (6). A filter filters a narrow frequency band from a wide band beam. ADVANTAGE - Is simply manufactured and enables definitive wavelengths to be selected.

Mittelebenen-montiertes optisches Kommunikationssystem und Verfahren zum Bereitstellen einer Hochdichte-Mittelebenen-Montage von parallelen optischen Kommunikationsmodulen

Номер: DE102010029417A1
Принадлежит:

Ein optisches Kommunikationssystem und ein Verfahren werden bereitgestellt, in welchem mehrere parallele optische Kommunikationsmodule auf einem PCB-Motherboard Mittelebenen-montiert sind. Jedes Modul ist mit einem optischen Faserbandkabel verbunden. Die Module sind konfiguriert, um sehr flache Bauformen zu haben und/oder um eine gewinkelte Kopplung des Bandkabels mit dem Modul zu liefern. In beiden Fällen verhindern die Modulkonfigurationen das Bedürfnis, eine beträchtliche Menge an Raum zwischen einem Modul und dem hinter ihm zu lassen, um Raum für das Bandkabel zu liefern, so dass das Kabel aus dem Modul austritt ohne über seinen minimalen Biegeradius hinaus gebogen zu werden. Dieses Merkmal erlaubt, dass die Modulmontagedichte auf der Motherboard-PCB sehr hoch sein kann und erlaubt, dass die Module näher an ihren entsprechenden Hub-ICs montiert werden können, was die Montagedichte erhöht und den Modulen erlaubt, näher an ihren entsprechenden Hub-ICs montiert zu werden.

Date Sep. 22, 1988.Apparatus of the type comprising an optical assembly and reflection grating-for collimating light emitted by a laser and for refocussing the same onto an output waveguide. The waveguide is modified to enhance reflection of the refocussed light, which in turn dominates the resonant response of the laser. Laser resonance thus depends on geometrical factors-the relative positions of laser and waveguide and the dispersion properties of the assembly. Wavelength selectivity is improved by confining reflection to the core of the waveguide e.g. by using an embedded reflector, or further still by using an etalon pair. The laser may be used in conjunction with other lasers and/or detectors, or with retroreflectors. A multi-laser input multiplexer and single channel drop-and-add devices are described.

A floating heat sink device is provided that attaches to a cage in a floating configuration that enables the heat sink device to move, or “float”, as the parallel optical communications device secured to the cage moves relative to the cage. Because the heat sink device floats with movement of the parallel optical communications device, at least one surface of the parallel optical communications device maintains continuous contact with at least one surface of the heat sink device at all times. Ensuring that these surfaces are maintained in continuous contact at all times ensures that heat produced by the parallel optical communications device will be transferred into and absorbed by the floating heat sink device.

In a parallel optical communication module, an array of opto-electronic devices secured with respect to a mount and an array of optical elements of an optical device that is also secured with respect to the mount are unconstrained against relative movement due to thermal expansion of the mount and optical device. The mount and optical device can be made of materials having similar coefficients of thermal expansion. As thermal expansion in the mount causes the opto-electronic devices to move, similar thermal expansion in the optical device causes the optical elements to move to a similar extent. This co-movement of the opto-electronic devices and optical elements to similar extents promotes continued maintenance of optical alignment between opto-electronic elements and corresponding optical elements.

Bidirectional optical communications module having an optics system that reduces optical losses and increases tolerance to optical misalignment

Номер: US20160004020A1

In a bidirectional optical communications module, an optics system is provided having a lens block that uses a single surface for reflecting light into or reflecting light passing out of the end of the optical fiber and a single surface for reflecting light toward a monitor photodetector. No other surfaces in the lens block are used to turn the light path. A filter block of the optics system that is adjacent to the lens block performs wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing. The filter block reflects light at either its lower or upper surface back toward the lens block. In some embodiments, a portion of light passes through the upper surface of the filter block to provide some attenuation of light being transmitted so that the light is not coupled back into the light source. Because the upper surface of the filter block is the topmost surface of the optics system, the optics system can be very compact while also limiting the number of surfaces that turn the light path. Limiting the number of surfaces in the optics system that turn the light path reduces optical losses and increases tolerance to optical misalignment.
