  • Patent number: 8682164
    Abstract: An optical wavelength division node includes an optical splitter, a plurality of optical circulators, and a colorless light source module. The optical splitter receives and splits a downstream signal light source into a first-path and a second-path signal light source. The optical circulator in a first-order position receives and transmits the first-path signal light source to an optical network unit in a first-order position, and receives a return signal and passes it to a next optical circulator, and finally the optical circulator in a last-order position receives the return signal and transmits it. The colorless light source module receives the second-path signal light source and the return signal transmitted by the optical circulator in a last-order position, and uses the second-path signal light source to modulate the return signal to generate an upstream signal light source to be transmitted to the optical line terminal by the optical splitter.

  • Patent number: 8680637
    Abstract: A back-illuminated silicon photodetector has a layer of Al2O3 deposited on a silicon oxide surface that receives electromagnetic radiation to be detected. The Al2O3 layer has an antireflection coating deposited thereon. The Al2O3 layer provides a chemically resistant separation layer between the silicon oxide surface and the antireflection coating. The Al2O3 layer is thin enough that it is optically innocuous. Under deep ultraviolet radiation, the silicon oxide layer and the antireflection coating do not interact chemically. In one embodiment, the silicon photodetector has a delta-doped layer near (within a few nanometers of) the silicon oxide surface. The Al2O3 layer is expected to provide similar protection for doped layers fabricated using other methods, such as MBE, ion implantation and CVD deposition.

  • Patent number: 8681732
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of changing a frequency assignment (FA) status in an improved broadband wireless access system where terminals and base stations communicate with each other by using a plurality of FAs. The base station changes the status of one of secondary FA into the status of the pFA in order to adjust a load of the primary FA, and communicates with the terminal through the pFA of which status is changed. When a response is received from the terminal, the base station changes the status of the pFA and communicates with the pFA of the terminal through a new pFA. The status of a previous pFA between the base station and the terminal is changed into the status of the sFA, and a previous sFA is changed into the pFA, so that communication is performed through new FAs.
