  • Patent number: 7181101
    Abstract: The disclosure is an optical measuring system and the method thereof for precisely measuring physical characteristics of light emitted from waveguides, such as beam size, pattern, strength, focusing, collimation degree, and divergence angle, by means of a plane optical detector in which a plurality of pixels formed by a semiconductor fabrication process are arranged in an array, without specific measuring means. The light is incident into ends of the arrayed waveguides with uniform time intervals and emitted from the other ends of the waveguides to reach the optical detectors through which the physical characteristics of the light are obtained and defined arithmetically.

  • Patent number: 7010192
    Abstract: An optical fiber array block includes at least one optical waveguide having an optical fiber zone, and an optical device. An optical signal leakage window is formed at the optical waveguide, and the optical device corresponds to the optical signal leakage window. If the optical signal leakage window is formed at an optical fiber comprising a core and a clad layer, the clad layer is partially removed or is partially connected to the core by means of an ion implantation technique.

    Abstract: An optical fiber array block includes at least one optical waveguide having an optical fiber zone, and an optical device. An optical signal leakage window is formed at the optical waveguide, and the optical device corresponds to the optical signal leakage window. If the optical signal leakage window is formed at an optical fiber comprising a core and a clad layer, the clad layer is partially removed or is partially connected to the core by means of tan ion implantation technique. Thus, the clad layer has a refractive index that is similar to that of the core.

  • Patent number: 6316281
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical integrated circuit; and, more particularly, to a method for preparing an improved hybrid optical integrated circuit which is capable of accommodating optical waveguides, optical devices, such as light emitting devices and light receiving devices, and optical fibers in an effective manner. The present invention has the advantages of minimizing horizontal misalignment error between the SOI waveguide rib area, the V-groove etch window and the alignment marks, decreasing the manufacturing cost by passively aligning the waveguides, the optical devices and the optical fibers on a single substrate. Also, the present invention has an effect of reducing fresnel reflection loss by providing the LPCVD silicon nitride layer capable of being used as an anti-reflection coating layer at both ends of the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 6027255
    Abstract: A bidirectional optical communication module using a single optical fiber is disclosed. The module includes an optical fiber having a cut-away surface polished to have an acute angle between the cut-away surface and an axis of the optical fiber, a semiconductor laser emitting a transmission light coupled with a light fiber core, and a bidirectional optical device having a light receiving portion absorbing a receiving light outputted from the light fiber core for thereby optically coupling a bidirectional optical device in which a light receiving device is integrated into a light transmitting semiconductor laser as a single chip and an optical fiber when fabricating an optical module for implementing a light signal transmission and receiving operation using one optical fiber.
