  • Patent number: 7418163
    Abstract: An integrated optoelectrical package for optoelectrical integrated circuits (ICs) is disclosed. The package includes a package substrate having contact receiving members on an upper surface. The contact receiving members are electrically connected to contacts on the lower surface. An optoelectronic receiver package and an optoelectronic transmitter package are each electrically mounted to respective first and second subsets of the contact receiving members. Input and output waveguide arrays are formed atop the substrate package and are optically coupled to the optoelectronic receiver package and the optoelectronic transmitter package, respectively. The contacts on the lower surface of the package substrate are designed to contact and engage the contact receiving members of a standard printed circuit board (PCB).

  • Patent number: 7366368
    Abstract: An optical bus interconnects two or more processors in a multiprocessor system. One or more electrical-to-optical (“E-O”) transmitters are optically coupled to the optical bus using optical couplers. The E-O transmitters receive electrical signals from the processors and convert the electrical signals to optical signals to be guided onto the optical bus. Optical-to-electrical (“O-E”) receivers are also coupled to the optical bus using the optical couplers. The O-E receivers receive optical signals from the optical bus and convert the optical signals to electrical signals for the processors.

  • Patent number: 7049704
    Abstract: A package allowing both electrical and optical coupling between one or more integrated circuits and a printed circuit board (PCB) has an optical waveguide structure in addition to electrical connections. An optically active device is flip-chip bonded directly to an integrated circuit using solder bump technology. The optically active device has a lens directly attached to it to facilitate optical coupling to the optical waveguide. The integrated circuit is flip-chip bonded to a Ball Grid Array (BGA) package. The BGA package is bonded to the PCB using solder reflow technology.
