  • Graded index fiber, array and method of manufacture
    Publication number: 20030026567
    Abstract: A graded index fiber formed of a plurality of fused graded index fibers is provided. Each fiber is formed from a preform comprising a plurality of fused low index rods with at least one high index rod arranged in a pre-determined pattern which have been drawn and fused. An array may be made utilizing such fibers, with each fiber having a center located at a specified position. A method of forming the GRIN fibers and the GRIN fiber array is also provided.

  • Opto-electronic multi-chip modules using imaging fiber bundles
    Publication number: 20020048427
    Abstract: Multipath structures formed from coherent fiber bundle structures for interconnecting a number of opto-electronic devices in a compact space. The coherent fiber bundle structures are formed from fiber optic plates and have different geometries and fiber orientations in order to transmit optic signal between opto-electronic device in different locations.
