Multimode Fiber Communication System With Enhanced Bandwidth

US Patent:
6580543, Jun 17, 2003
Filed:
Dec 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/465468
Inventors:
Zhencan Frank Fan - Macungie PA
Hong-Tai Man - Bernards Township, Somerset County NJ
Arlen R. Martin - Maidencreek Township, Berks County PA
Steven L. Moyer - Spring Township, Berks County PA
Mary J. Nadeau - Bethlehem PA
Steven P. ONeill - Allentown PA
John William Osenbach - Kutztown PA
Edward A. Pitman - Grantville PA
Renyi Yang - Goleta CA
Craig A. Young - Nazareth PA
Assignee:
Tri Quint Technology Holding Co. - Hillsboro OR
International Classification:
G02B 630
US Classification:
359188, 359159, 359173, 385 31, 385 39, 385 88, 385 92
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, a multimode optical fiber communication system is provided with offset illumination by disposing an optical pinhole adjacent an end of the multimode fiber core and offset from the center of the core. The pinhole permits direct offset illumination without the difficulty and expense of a conventional patch-cord assembly.

Method For Estimating Age Rate Of A Laser

US Patent:
7116689, Oct 3, 2006
Filed:
Aug 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/222448
Inventors:
Edward A. Pitman - Grantville PA, US
International Classification:
H01S 3/10
US Classification:
372 26
Abstract:
A method of evaluating a laser comprises providing a current into the laser and measuring a voltage output of an electroabsorptive modulator (EAM) coupled to the laser. A device under test includes a laser, and an electroabsorptive modulator (EAM), wherein said EAM monitors an output of said laser.

Method For Positioning Optical Subassembly For Testing

US Patent:
5841544, Nov 24, 1998
Filed:
Dec 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/764958
Inventors:
Mindaugas Fernand Dautartas - Alburtis PA
Edward A. Pitman - Grantville PA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NY
International Classification:
G01B 1100, B23K 3102, G02B 3102, G02B 636, H05K 702
US Classification:
356399
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of positioning an optical subassembly for testing includes positioning an optical subassembly within a capture zone on a support surface of a test fixture. At least two probes engage surfaces of respective ones of precisely located fiducials in a surface of the optical subassembly. A third probe contacts a surface of the optical subassembly, which in a preferred embodiment may be another fiducial in the surface of the optical subassembly. Upon engagement of the probes with surfaces of respective fiducials and movement of the probes further into respective fiducials, the optical subassembly is translated into more precise alignment with optics of the test fixture.

Method And Apparatus For Passively Aligning Components On Semiconductor Dies

US Patent:
6265240, Jul 24, 2001
Filed:
Mar 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/047014
Inventors:
Mindaugas F. Dautartas - Alburtis PA
James F. Dormer - Limekiln PA
John W. Osenbach - Kutztown PA
Edward A. Pitman - Grantville PA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H01L 2100
US Classification:
438 55
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for passively aligning an optical element on an optical die wherein multiple potential mounting pads are supplied for potential mounting of the optical component. Appropriate tables are generated for 1) the response of the optical detecting component for a given light power level as a function of the mounting position of the optical detecting component, and 2) the asymmetry of the light generating component. Given the two tables an algorithm is prepared for automatically determining the appropriate mounting position to provide desired detection device response characteristics for any given light generating component to be mounted on the die.
