Patent number: 8014434Abstract: A semiconductor chip has at least two DFB etched facet laser cavities with one set of facets with AR coatings and a second set of etched facets with HR coatings that have a different relative position with respect to the gratings. This creates a difference in the phase between each of the etched facets and the gratings which changes the operational characteristics of the two laser cavities such that at least one of the lasers provides acceptable performance. As a result, the two cavity arrangement greatly improves the yield of the fabricated chips.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Binoptics CorporationInventors: Alex Behfar, Malcolm Green, Norman Kwong, Cristian Stagaresen

Publication number: 20050232326Abstract: A laser and electroabsorption modulator (EAM) are monolithically integrated through an etched facet process. Epitaxial layers on a wafer include a first layer for a laser structure and a second layer for an EAM structure. Strong optical coupling between the laser and the EAM is realized by using two 45-degree turning mirrors to route light vertically from the laser waveguide to the EAM waveguide. A directional angled etch process is used to form the two angled facets.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: BinOptics CorporationInventors: Alex Behfar, Malcolm Green, Alfred Schremer

Publication number: 20030111289Abstract: A steering system for a vehicle is provided that includes a steering knuckle which is rotatable about an axis. The steering knuckle includes an upper attachment point and a lower attachment point. The attachment points define the steer axis. A rotational drive unit is connected to the steering knuckle for rotating the steering knuckle about the steer axis. A control module receives a steering input corresponding to the desired Ackerman angle and commands the rotational drive unit to rotate the steering knuckle about the axis to the desired Ackerman angle. Rotational drive units for each side of the vehicle ensure that the wheels are turned to the appropriate Ackerman angle for each wheel. The rotational drive unit may include an electric motor, or a pneumatic or hydraulic pump. In one preferred embodiment, the rotational drive unit includes a fluid housing and the shaft connected to the steering knuckle. The shaft includes a vane extending therefrom and into the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2001Publication date: June 19, 2003Inventors: Lawrence Brill, Malcolm Green, Steven E.

Patent number: 6561307Abstract: A steering system is provided for a vehicle including a frame. Upper and lower control arms have first end portions that are pivotally supported on the frame at first spaced apart connections. The control arms also each include second end portions that are pivotally connected to an intermediate support member at second spaced apart connections. A steer knuckle is pivotally supported by the intermediate support member at third spaced apart connections that define a king pin axis. A drive motor is mounted on the intermediate support member and is coupled to the steering knuckle to rotate the steering knuckle about the king pin axis relative to the intermediate support member. A gear set may also be used in conjunction with the drive motor and steering knuckle. The intermediate support member is constrained against forward and aft movement, but is permitted to move upward and downward with the control arms.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Meritor Heavy Vehicle Technology, LLCInventors: Lawrence D.

Publication number: 20020159128Abstract: The present invention relates to a Mach-Zehnder optical modulator having an electrode structure that is arranged to compensate for temperature induced performance degrading variations. The distances between appropriate faces of the signal electrode and a ground electrode and corresponding wave-guide arms are arranged such that there is a more balanced thermal expansion of the waveguide arms due to heating of the waveguides by the RF signals carried on the signal and ground electrodes. Tailored buffer layers further balances the heating in the waveguide arms through the RF losses in the electrodes. The balanced heating reduces the temperature gradient between the waveguide arms of the optical modulator and hence reduces the adverse thermally induced performance degrading variations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2002Publication date: October 31, 2002Applicant: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventor: Malcolm Green
