Patent number: 10848247Abstract: An apparatus includes a first and second VCSEL, each with an integrated lens. The VCSELs emit a first light beam having first optical modes at first wavelengths and a second light beam having second optical modes at second wavelengths. The apparatus also has an optical block with a first and second surface, a mirror coupled to the second surface, and a wavelength-selective filter coupled to the first surface. The first integrated lens mode matches the first beam to the optical block, and the second integrated lens mode matches the second beam to the optical block such that the first beam and second beam each have substantially a beam waist with a beam waist dimension at the first and second input region, respectively. An exit beam that includes light from the first beam and the second beam is output from the second surface of the optical block.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Wayne Sorin, Michael Renne Ty Tan, Sagi V.

Patent number: 8571366Abstract: A system employs a flexible optical media, two connectors, and a mechanism such as a magnet that brings the connector together when the connectors are close to each other. The optical media is able to guide optical signals, and one connector is attached to an end of the optical media. Each connector also has alignment features and provides paths for the optical signals. The alignment features of each connector are shaped to mate with the alignment features of the other connector and to shift the connectors relative to each other as the mechanism pushes the connector together. The alignment features further have seated positions at which the paths in one connector are aligned with the paths in the other connector and separated by a free space gap.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 8369665Abstract: A hybrid guided-mode resonance (GMR) grating, an optical filter and a method of optical filtering employ distributed Bragg reflection. The hybrid GMR grating includes a waveguide layer that supports a GMR having a GMR resonant frequency. The hybrid GMR grating further includes a diffraction grating that couples a portion of a signal incident on the hybrid GMR grating into the waveguide layer; and a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) that reflects another portion of the incident signal. The coupled portion of the incident signal has a frequency corresponding to the GMR resonant frequency. The reflected portion has a frequency away from the GMR resonant frequency. The optical filter includes the hybrid GMR grating and a coupler. The method includes coupling an optical signal into the hybrid GMR grating and further coupling a reflected signal out of the hybrid GMR grating.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David A.

Publication number: 20110272014Abstract: A photovoltaic structure of a photovoltaic cell and a method of fabricating a photovoltaic structure, employ a nanowire having a base connected to a stub and an electrical isolation layer surrounding the stub. The stub is a constituent of a substrate surface. The nanowire extends away from the substrate surface and is wider than the stub. The nanowire base overlies a part of the isolation layer that is adjacent to the stub. A semiconductor junction comprises the nanowire. The method includes forming the stub; growing the nanowire from the stub; and conformally coating the nanowire. A nanoparticle is applied to the substrate surface. The isolation layer is created on and embedded in the substrate surface using the nanoparticle as a mask. A portion of the substrate surface underlying the nanoparticle forms the stub. The nanoparticle catalyzes nanowire growth on the stub. The stub is narrower than the nanoparticle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: November 10, 2011Inventors: Sagi V.
