  • Patent number: 10826622
    Abstract: A wavelength de-multiplexing system that receives a wavelength multiplexed signal and generates electrical signals corresponding to the optical signals is disclosed. The optical receiver module includes a lens, a lens unit, and an optical de-multiplexer (O-DeMux). The lens converts the wavelength multiplexed signal into a quasi-collimated beam. The lens unit narrows a diameter of the quasi-collimated beam. The O-DeMux de-multiplexes the narrowed quasi-collimated beam coming from the lens unit by wavelength selective filters (WSFs) each having optical distances from the lens unit different from each other.

  • Patent number: 5130192
    Abstract: A process for preparing a metallized polyimide film, comprising the steps of: forming a solidified film containing 100 parts by weight of an aromatic polyamic acid in the form of a solution obtained by polymerizing approximately equal moles of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid component and an aromatic diamine component and 5 to 150 parts by weight of an organic polar solvent; applying a surface treatment solution containing a heat-resistant surface treating agent to the surface of the solidified film; heating the solidified film to a high temperature to imidize the polyamic acid, while drying the film to prepare a polyimide film; forming a thin metal vapor-deposited layer by a vapor deposition of a metal on the treated surface of the polyimide film with the heat-resistant surface treatment agent; and applying metal plating onto the metal vapor deposited layer to form a metal plated layer thereon.
