Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of microelectronic die packaging, particularly multi-chip packaging, wherein on-substrate modularity is enabled by using in-street die-to-die interconnects to facilitate signal routing between microelectronic dice. These in-street die-to-die interconnects may allow for manufacturing of several products on a single microelectronic substrate, which may lead to improved microelectronic die and/or microelectronic module harvesting and increased product yields.

Abstract: An optical add/drop filter (OADF) module is provided that is capable of only utilizing one filter to drop and add multiple channels from a multiplexed signal. In one embodiment, a demultiplexer separates the input signal into groups of signals or channels to be dropped. This group of channels is coupled to one input of a 2×2 interleaving OADF, which in one embodiment is an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, while another group of channels to be added back to the multiplexed signal is coupled to the other input. One output of the OADF drops one group of channels, while the other output transmits the added group of channels to an input of a multiplexer, which combines the group of added channels with the other groups of channels from the outputs of the demultiplexer. In another embodiment, a multi-window filter formed from an unbalanced Michelson Interferometer outputs two signals, each having either odd or even wavelength signal components.

Abstract: A new method for fabricating devices which include multicomponent metal halide glasses, e.g., multicomponent metal halide glass optical fibers, is disclosed. In accordance with the inventive method, a multicomponent metal halide glass body, essentially free of crystallites, is produced by cooling essentially every portion of a melt incorporated into the glass body at a quench rate which is necessarily greater than or equal to about 10 Kelvins per second (K/sec). This necessary quench rate is achieved by successively quenching relatively small portions of the melt, e.g., thin layers or droplets of melt material, having relatively small cross-sectional dimensions.
