Abstract: An electrical device includes a circuit board (101), a light source (104), and a light guide (105). The light guide receives light from the light source and conducts the received light to an end of the light guide so that the light crosses, in a direction parallel with the circuit board, an edge of the circuit board.

Hence, the light guide does not require room in directions perpendicular to the circuit board.

Abstract: Crosstalk can be reduced in optical waveguide bundles by varying the widths of individual waveguides. Using different width waveguides reduces the growth of crosstalk between the optical waveguides, thereby allowing the waveguides to be placed in closer proximity to increase waveguide density on the chip and/or reduce the routing space required for the waveguide bundle. Moreover, varying the width of a waveguide spiral may reduce crosstalk, which can increase power efficiency when implemented in coiled or folded waveguide thermal optical (TO) devices.

Abstract: An optical material can be formed by creating extremely small voids or gas-filled bubbles in a polymeric material, such as a thermoplastic or a fluoropolymer. The voids or gas-filled bubbles can reduce the refractive index of the optical material substantially below the polymeric material's refractive index. Dimensionally, the voids or gas-filled bubbles can be smaller than the wavelength of light that is intended to interact with the optical material, thereby avoiding undue scattering loss. The voids or gas-filled bubbles can be formed via adding particles of gas-generating material to the polymeric material and heating the resulting composition. The voids or gas-filled bubbles can form as the heat causes the polymeric material to melt and the particles to generate gas. The optical material can be utilized as a cladding to provide a high numerical aperture optical fiber, for example.
