20110123150 | OPTICAL ENGINE FOR ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE - An optical engine is provided for an active optical cable. The optical engine comprises a substrate having electro-optical (EO) components coupled or connected to a same side of the substrate. The optical engine further comprises a molded optical structure (MOS) that couples or connects to the substrate and to optical fibers of the optical cable. The MOS interfaces with the substrate at a position adjacent the EO components. Optical paths through the MOS include a lens system comprising two optical power surfaces or lenses and one reflecting surface. The MOS lens system enables alignment of the optical fibers in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis established by the EO components. | 05-26-2011 |
20110123151 | MOLDED OPTICAL STRUCTURE FOR OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER - A device comprising a molded optical structure (MOS) connected to optical fibers. The device includes optical paths through the MOS. Each optical path comprises a first section and a second section. The first section is adjacent the optical fibers. The device comprises a first lens positioned at a first end of the first section, and a second lens positioned at a second end of the second section. The device comprises a reflector positioned in the optical path. The reflector reflects light in a direction approximately orthogonal to a direction from which the light is received. | 05-26-2011 |
20130004120 | TRANSCEIVER AND INTERFACE FOR IC PACKAGE - An interconnect system includes a first circuit board, first and second connectors connected to the first circuit board, and a transceiver including an optical engine and arranged to receive and transmit electrical and optical signals through a cable, to convert optical signals received from the cable into electrical signals, and to convert electrical signals received from the first connector into optical signals to be transmitted through the cable. The transceiver is arranged to mate with the first and second connectors so that at least some converted electrical signals are transmitted to the first connector and so that at least some electrical signals received from the cable are transmitted to the second connector. | 01-03-2013 |
20130129346 | TRANSPORTING DATA AND AUXILIARY SIGNALS OVER AN OPTICAL LINK - A data transport system for transporting data and auxiliary signals over an optical link comprises a transmitter, a receiver and an optical link. The transmitter and receiver are coupled to a first end of the optical link. The optical link includes a number of optical channels. A controller is coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, and controls the transmitter and the receiver to operate in a first state when data are detected at an input of the transmitter. Data are transported via the data transport system in the first state. The controller controls the transmitter and the receiver to operate in a second state when the data are detected as absent at the input of the transmitter. Data are prevented from being transported via the data transport system in the second state. | 05-23-2013 |
