Patent number: 7190706Abstract: A laser package includes a submount, a laser die mounted on the submount, a lid mounted on the submount over the laser die, and a soft metal disposed between the laser die and the lid, wherein the soft metal conducts heat between the laser die and the lid. The soft metal is able to creep or cold flow under pressure to accommodate for varying manufacturing tolerances and varying thermal expansion rates of the elements in the laser package.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2003Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP (Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventor: Laurence Ray McColloch

Patent number: 7130538Abstract: An optical node capable of automatically detecting its interconnectivity is disclosed. The node includes a light switch, a light source, light detector, a control circuit having a unique identification. The node sends its identification via each of its ports and also listens to each of its ports for identification from other nodes. The node may store the interconnectivity information, forward the interconnectivity information to another node, or forward the interconnectivity information to a path router.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP (Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventors: Glen Franklin Wetzel, Lyle A. Weiman

Patent number: 7111994Abstract: A fiber optic module includes a first housing insert molded with an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, an optoelectronic subassembly mounted in the first housing, and a second housing mounted to the first housing to enclose the optoelectronic subassembly. The EMI shield includes a conductive mesh and conductive contact fingers. The first housing includes a non-conductive housing floor, non-conductive housing sidewalls, and a non-conductive nose defining at least one connector receptacle, wherein the housing floor and the housing sidewalls are injection molded through the mesh of the EMI shield to be integral with the nose and so that the fingers at least partially surround the nose.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP (Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventors: Matthew K. Schwiebert, R. Sean Murphy

Patent number: 7100815Abstract: A titanium alloy strip has a reduced cross section in the central region of the strip. By concentrating heat in this central region the process of bonding laser devices to a substrate is greatly improved. Furthermore, the present invention allows for the possibility of removing the laser device from the substrate without destroying the laser device.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2004Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP (Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventors: Maheshchandra Mistry, Christopher Main

Patent number: 7092630Abstract: The present invention implements open fiber control in an optical transceiver. During normal operation, the transceiver transmits signals through a connection to an optical network. When the connection is intact, the total power transmitted can be greater than the eye-safety limit. When the connection breaks, the transceiver detects the loss of signal and disables transmissions over all channels except for one. The transceiver continues transmission on the single enabled channel at an eye-safe level. When the connection is fixed and a signal reappears, the transceiver detects the signal reappearance and re-enables all channels that had previously been disabled. By allowing the transceiver to transmit with greater optical power when the connection is intact, an increased data rate and longer transmission distances can be achieved. At the same time, safety is preserved, because transmissions drop to acceptable power levels whenever a break is detected.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP(Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventors: David G Cunningham, Frederick Miller, Jing Wang, Janet Yun

Patent number: 7088752Abstract: The slope efficiency of a laser diode is determined by temporarily adjusting a current applied to the laser and measuring a corresponding change in the average output power. Such prior art techniques require the laser modulation current average to be small to avoid impairment of transmission of data by the laser diode. An optical attenuator opposite an output of a laser diode resolves this problem by maintaining the average power emitted by the laser diode within acceptable operating limits.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies Fiber IP (Singapore) Ptd. Ltd.Inventor: Andrew Harker
