Schemes For Controlling Optical Signals In Optically Functional Waveguide Structures

View page
US Patent:
7215851, May 8, 2007
Filed:
Nov 7, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/268316
Inventors:
David W. Nippa - Dublin OH, US
Richard W. Ridgway - Westerville OH, US
Steven M. Risser - Reynoldsburg OH, US
Dirk Schoellner - Columbus OH, US
Louis P. Vassy - New Albany OH, US
Assignee:
Optimer Photonics, Inc. - Columbus OH
International Classification:
G02B 6/26
G02B 6/42
US Classification:
385 40, 385 14, 385131
Abstract:
Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core, a cladding, an electrooptic polymer, and a set of control electrodes. The core, the cladding, and the electrooptic polymer are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core to couple into a relatively high index region of the electrooptic polymer above the waveguide core, so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

View page
US Patent:
20100215319, Aug 26, 2010
Filed:
Oct 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/607050
Inventors:
Darrell R. Childers - Hickory NC, US
Joseph P. Howard - Hickory NC, US
Joseph L. Kaminski - Hickory NC, US
Dirk E. Schoellner - Hickory NC, US
Russell J. Granger - Vale NC, US
DJ Hastings - Crouse NC, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/38
US Classification:
385 60
Abstract:
A multi-fiber ferrule has openings for optical fibers, an integral fiber optic guide pin and an opening to receive a fiber optic guide pin. A plate is provided to align the optical fibers with the front face of the multi-fiber ferrule. A method for aligning the optical fibers with the front face of the multi-fiber ferrule is also provided.

Assembly For Precision Datum Alignment And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
20120305807, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:
May 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/485851
Inventors:
Dirk E. Schoellner - Hickory NC, US
Darrell R. Childers - Hickory NC, US
Arnold Deal, III - Hildebran NC, US
Joseph P. Howard - Hickory NC, US
International Classification:
B01J 19/12
US Classification:
2504921
Abstract:
A calibration assembly has a base and mounting elements to mount the base to a laser. The base has a front, middle and rear portions that are used to align the calibration assembly to the laser to cleave optical fibers with the laser. The front portion has a channel to receive the optical fibers, the middle portion has openings to confirm alignment of the laser; and the rear portion has a rear opening used to adjust the pitch and roll of the laser.

Apparatus For And Method Of Terminating A Multi-Fiber Ferrule

View page
US Patent:
20180011253, Jan 11, 2018
Filed:
Jun 8, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/617868
Inventors:
- Hickory NC, US
Jillcha Fekadu Wakjira - Hickory NC, US
Michael E. Hughes - Hickory NC, US
Joseph P. Howard - Hickory NC, US
Arnold Deal, III - Hildebran NC, US
Dirk Eric Schoellner - Hickory NC, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/36
G02B 6/25
G02B 6/38
Abstract:
An apparatus allows a plurality of optical fibers to be held together during the termination process. A handling device holds the optical fibers while a cleaving device allows for consistent cleaving of the optical fibers to ensure the ends are cleaved consistently. The handling device may also be used during the fixation of the optical fibers in the fiber optic ferrule. A method for terminating the plurality of optical fiber is also provided.
