  • Patent number: 7013056
    Abstract: A bi-directional transceiver, integrated module based on a silicon optical bench is provided, which comprises at least a laser diode, at least a signal detector, at least a thin film filter, at least an optical lens, an optical fiber and an SiOB. As the optical signal of specific wavelength can be reflected or inserted by thin film filter, the module has functions of a wavelength division multiplexer and a bi-direction transceiver. Furthermore, the optical lens improves the coupling efficiency between the laser diode and the optical fiber. On the other hand, a plurality of optical elements are integrated on the same SiOB. Hence, only a single optical fiber is used and optical signals of multiple wavelengths can be handled simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6111695
    Abstract: An optical circulator having reduced size and low polarization mode dispersion is disclosed. A transparent optical circulator comprises a first birefringent crystal, a first pair of Faraday polarization rotators having two Faraday polarization rotators aligned in parallel with the propagation direction of an optical signal, a second birefringent crystal, a second pair of Faraday polarization rotators similar to the first pair of Faraday polarization rotators, and a third birefringent crystal. The optical circulator with a reflector or an input/output device and the Faraday rotators together reduce the total size of the circulator, increase the number of input/output ports, and improve the propagation quality of the optical signal by decreasing the polarization mode dispersion. A reflective optical circulator is also presented.
