| 20090136236 | Optically Coupling Components Of A Transceiver - An apparatus comprises one or more electro-optical coupling modules. An electro-optical coupling module comprises a diode, a flexible optical coupling element, a reflective surface, and an optical fiber. The diode performs an electro-optical conversion on a signal. The flexible optical coupling element communicates the signal between the diode and the reflective surface. The reflective surface reflects the signal between the flexible optical coupling element and the optical fiber. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090274409 | Selectively Enhancing Angular Beam Deflection - According to one embodiment, an apparatus for deflecting light beams comprises an input deflector and one or more Bragg gratings. The input deflector receives light beams from input channels, and deflects each light beam to an initial deflection angle. A Bragg grating deflects at least one light beam from the initial deflection angle to an increased deflection angle, where the increased deflection angle is at least closer to an output channel than the initial deflection angle. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100034497 | Flexible Optical Pillars for an Optical Assembly - An optical assembly is provided that includes a substrate. The substrate has a set of one or more optical waveguides. A component is coupled to and spaced apart from the substrate by at least one or more mechanical supports. The component has one or more photodetectors. A set of one or more flexible optical pillars is disposed to be positioned between the set of optical waveguides and the photodetectors. The set of flexible optical pillars is optically transmissive and configured to transmit light from the set of optical waveguides to the photodetectors. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100046879 | Optical Modulator - An optical modulator includes an input waveguide, a splitting point, a first interaction arm of length L | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100054655 | Dynamic Reconfigurable Optical Interconnect System - An optical interconnect system includes an integrated circuit, at least one optical modulator, and a slab waveguide. The optical modulator is coupled to the integrated circuit and receives an input light beam from a light source and data from a source device and generates a modulated output light beam. The slab waveguide is coupled to the optical modulator and includes at least one input waveguide microlens, a plurality of output waveguide microlenses, and at least one deflector prism. The input waveguide microlens focuses the modulated output light beam from the modulator into a collimated light beam. The deflector prism is coupled to the integrated circuit, receives the collimated light beam from the input waveguide microlens, and deflects the collimated light beam toward one of the output waveguide microlenses according to an input voltage. | 03-04-2010 |
