  • Patent number: 6843608
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing an electro-optic signal processing device. The method includes the steps of providing an optically trasparent substrate having first and second planar elements with an abutting common edge, the planar elements lying at differing angles with respect to each other about the common edge and a plurality of alignment apertures formed in the substrate. A plurality of optical devices of an optical array are disposed on the first planar element of the substrate, with transmission paths of the optical devices passing directly through the substrate. A signal processor is also disposed on the first planar element of the substrate. An optical fiber holder comprising a plurality of respective optical fibers and guide pin apertures disposed on a first surface of the optical fiber holder is aligned to the optical array using the guide pins and guide pin apertures.

  • Patent number: 6729776
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing an electro-optic signal processing assembly. The method includes the steps of providing an optically transparent substrate with a plurality of alignment apertures formed in the substrate, disposing a guide pin in each of the plurality of alignment apertures, providing an optical device with a transmission path of the optical device passing directly through the body of the optically transparent substrate, aligning an optical fiber holder to the optical device using the guide pins and guide pin apertures, and coupling an optical signal of the optical device of the optical array to a respective optical fiber of the aligned optical fiber holder.
