William S. RING 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).

  • Photonic integrated device with dielectric structure
    Patent number: 10128635
    Abstract: A photonic integrated device (PID) for generating single and multiple wavelength optical signals is provided. The PID includes first and second reflective structures having first and second predetermined reflectivities, respectively. A common waveguide is optically coupled to the first reflective structure, and at least one semiconductor waveguide is optically coupled to the second reflective structure. The PID further includes at least one active gain region that is disposed between the first and second reflective structures. In various embodiments, the PID includes at least one of a dielectric waveguide based wavelength dependent element and a dielectric Bragg stack.
    Type: Grant
