    摘要: A wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical assembly with increased lane density is disclosed herein. The WDM optical assembly includes a WDM optical core subassembly including an optical signal router for routing an optical signal between a first side and a second side of a substrate. The WDM optical core subassembly further includes a first WDM filter having a first passband and a second WDM filter having a second passband. The WDM optical core subassembly forms a first optical path between a first common port, the first WDM filter, and a first channel port, and to form a second optical path between the second WDM filter, a second common port, and a second channel port. The WDM optical core subassembly increases lane density while decreasing size and complexity by including a plurality of common ports in optical communication with the same plurality of WDM filters.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is wavelength-division multiplexer with an internal optical signal tuned by a mounted signal pitch router. In particular, disclosed is a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical assembly including an optical signal router, a WDM filter, and a signal pitch router. The WDM filter has a wavelength selective surface positioned proximate the second side of the optical signal router. The signal pitch router has a transmissive surface positioned proximate to a side of the optical signal router, and a second reflective surface opposite the transmissive surface. A depth of the signal pitch router establishes and tunes a pitch of a routing optical path within the optical signal router. This provides for easier, faster, more reliable, and more cost effective manufacturing and assembly of the WDM optical assembly.

    摘要: In various embodiments, free-space optical collimator and multi-channel wavelength division multiplexers including free-space optical collimators are provided. In one embodiment, for example, a free-space optical collimator includes a base having a length, a generally flat bottom surface and a top surface. A groove is disposed along the top surface of the base extending through the length of the base. A lens is disposed within the groove of the base and a fiber optic pigtail is disposed generally adjacent to a focal point of the lens. The lens and fiber optic pigtail are aligned within the groove to reduce an off-angle offset of an optical light signal propagating through the free-space optical collimator. In other embodiments, a process of producing a free-space optical collimator is also provided.

    摘要: A multiplexer/demultiplexer is provided comprising a capillary filter block, a capillary adhesive, a signal-routing block, and an index-matching adhesive. The capillary adhesive resides in the capillary interstices of the capillary filter block and the index-matching adhesive forms an optical and mechanical interface between the signal-routing block and the capillary filter block. The layer thickness of the index-matching adhesive accommodates for extra-planar surface irregularities in the bonding face of the signal routing block and extra-planar variations along the proximal ends of the component filter blocks of the capillary filter block. The capillary filter block can be formed from a plurality of component filter blocks by dicing multiple component filter blocks from a filter block substrate, placing the component filter blocks adjacent to one another, and using capillary force to draw adhesive between adjacent sidewalls of component filter blocks

    摘要: Techniques for designing compact free-space optical device with all input/output ports on one side are disclosed. Instead of folding a fiber, a beam folding means is provided to turn a light beam to significantly reduce the size of the device. In one embodiment, there are a first collimator, a second collimator, and a beam folding means to turn a light beam from the first collimator back to the second collimator by two turns so that a first light path from the first collimator to the beam folding means and a second light path from the second collimator to the beam folding means are parallel. A substrate is provided to which the first and second collimators and filters are boned thereto.
