Multi-Channel Laser Pump Source For Optical Amplifiers

View page
US Patent:
7235150, Jun 26, 2007
Filed:
Jul 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/898537
Inventors:
William K. Bischel - Menlo Park CA, US
David K. Wagner - San Jose CA, US
Harald Guenther - Los Gatos CA, US
Simon J. Field - Palo Alto CA, US
Markus P. Hehlen - Los Gatos CA, US
Richard B. Tompane - Los Altos CA, US
Andrew T. Ryan - Sunnyvale CA, US
C. Geoffrey Fanning - Hillsboro OR, US
Jim W. Li - Fremont CA, US
Nina D. Morozova - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Gemfire Corporation - Fremont CA
International Classification:
B32B 37/10
US Classification:
156212, 156300, 156299, 156298, 156297
Abstract:
An optical assembly, such as a multiple output diode laser pump source for EDFAs, is formed by pressing an optical array emitter chip against a standoff structure protruding from a submount such that the emitter chip deforms to match the curvature of the standoff structure. An IO chip is also juxtaposed against the standoff structure such that its optical receivers can receive optical energy from the emitter chip. The IO chip can provide various optical functions, and then provide an optical array output for coupling into an optical fiber array. The standoff structure preferably contacts the emitter chip over an aggregate contact area much smaller than the area by which the emitter chip overlaps the submount. The materials used for bonding the emitter chip and the IO chip to the submount are disposed in the recesses between standoffs and not on the contact surfaces of the standoff structure.

Optically Integrating Pixel Microstructure

US Patent:
20020003928, Jan 10, 2002
Filed:
Dec 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/738607
Inventors:
William Bischel - Menlo Park CA, US
David Deacon - Los Altos CA, US
Nigel Cockroft - Los Gatos CA, US
Markus Hehlen - Los Gatos CA, US
David Wagner - San Jose CA, US
Richard Tompane - Los Altos CA, US
Simon Field - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Gemfire Corporation
International Classification:
G02B006/26
US Classification:
385/039000, 385/027000, 385/047000
Abstract:
An integrated optical microstructure includes a substrate carrying an optical waveguide and supporting a medium disposed to receive optical energy from the waveguide. The medium includes an optical re-radiator such as a phosphor, which re-radiates optical energy in response to optical energy received from the waveguide. The structure further includes a reflector disposed to redirect some of the input optical energy emanating from the medium back into the medium, to achieve spatial confinement of the input light delivered by the input waveguide. The structure can thereby increase the efficiency of the light conversion processes of re-radiating materials. An aperture in the reflector permits optical energy emitted by the re-radiator to emerge from the structure and to propagate in a preferred direction, such as toward a viewer or sensor. The structure is useful for increasing the brightness of various kinds of small emissive elements which are excited by light delivered from an integrated optical waveguide, including pixels in an information display.

Electroluminescent Line Scanner With Moveable Filter

View page
US Patent:
48686778, Sep 19, 1989
Filed:
Jan 13, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/143495
Inventors:
Richard B. Tompane - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Mirus Corporation - Los Altos CA
International Classification:
H04N 121
US Classification:
358302
Abstract:
An image recording system includes an electro-optic image section having a luminescent display device, such as a high-resolution monochrome cathode ray tube (CRT), that successively directs its light output through a red, a green, and blue filters to expose recording film contained within a camera. The recording film can take the form of positive roll film that is processed into slides or self-developing film units. The CRT is controlled to sweep a scan line at specified line positions while modulating the output light in a digital manner and repeat the line sweep until all pixel positions for that line are properly exposed. After all lines for a particular color are imaged, the filter is changed to the next color to be imaged and the process repeated until all scan lines for the different colors are completed. The system allows very precise exposure control to create developed images having fine gradation in color density and hue.

Connection System For Optical Redundancy

View page
US Patent:
6049641, Apr 11, 2000
Filed:
Feb 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/028874
Inventors:
David A. G. Deacon - Los Altos CA
Richard B. Tompane - Los Altos CA
William K. Bischel - Menlo Park CA
Tony C. Kowalczyk - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Gemfire Corporation - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G02B 626
US Classification:
385 15
Abstract:
A redundant optical connection system is manufactured in specially prepared form to allow optical connections to be made at a later step. In response to information specifying which of the optical sources are functional, further structure may be activated or introduced into the connection system which guides optical energy to optical outputs from only those of the sources that are functional. In one aspect of the invention, the preliminary form includes primary guiding structures coupling each of a plurality of primary optical sources to a respective application structure, and a secondary guiding structure coupled to a secondary optical source and terminating without yet coupling to any application structure. If the information indicates that one of the primary optical sources is non-functional, then structure can be added or activated which transfers optical energy from the secondary guiding structure into the primary guiding structure corresponding to the non-functional source. In another aspect of the invention, the preliminary form includes a material having N optical sources and more than N output guiding structures.
