Wen-Tzung Chen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8936399
    Abstract: A receptacle-type bi-directional optical module includes an optical connector, a bi-directional optical sub-assembly (BOSA), and a flexible printed circuit board. The bi-directional optical sub-assembly is detachably coupled to the optical connector. The bi-directional optical sub-assembly includes a transmitter end and a receiver end. The flexible printed circuit board includes a board body, a first connection part, and a second connection part. A first end of the board body is electrically connected to a printed circuit board. The first connection part is connected to a second end of the board body for electrically connecting to the transmitter end. The second connection part is connected to the edge of the first connection part for electrically connecting to the receiver end.

  • Patent number: 6945710
    Abstract: An optical sub-assembly (OSA) module for suppressing optical back-reflection and effectively guiding light from a light source to an optical waveguide is disclosed. The module comprises a light source for emitting light to said optical waveguide and at least one light transmitting element installed between said light source and said optical waveguide. The at least one light transmitting element is arranged to have a configuration for avoiding light to reflect back to the light source and to cause a light beam from said light source to point to said core of said optical waveguide. Thereby, the working distance is increased, and the assembling process of the OSA module is simplified. This new optical design scheme will greatly improve the optical characteristics of an OSA module, increase the optical transceiver propagation distance, and reduce the difficulty of OSA assembly process.
