Patents by Inventor Momoko Eguchi

Momoko Eguchi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7590315
    Abstract: An optical waveguide contains a core layer in which light is transferred, and a cladding layer that clads the core layer. The core layer has an inclined end surface across a direction where the core layer extends. The inclined end surface reflects light from the core layer to outside or light from the outside to the core layer. The cladding layer has an end portion that extends to the inclined surface of the core layer. The cladding layer includes a system that prevents an adhesive agent from flowing out.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7454104
    Abstract: An optical module has at least two optical elements mounted in parallel with each other. The module also has a first electrode pad which is formed between the paralleled optical elements and grounded to a ground potential and a second electrode pad which is arranged along a line that is intersected with a direction in which the optical elements are arranged, which faces the first electrode pad and is grounded to the ground potential. The module further has a conductive shield member which is connected to the first electrode pad and the second electrode pad and placed between electrical signal transmission paths each connected to the optical elements.

  • Patent number: 7373063
    Abstract: An optical waveguide module has a planar type optical waveguide having at least one core, an optical fiber for connecting with the core of the optical waveguide optically, and an optical element for connecting the core of the optical waveguide optically. The optical waveguide includes a groove for allowing an optical fiber to be inserted thereinto and aligning the optical fiber with the core to connect the optical fiber and the core optically. A first edge of the optical waveguide, which traverses the core, is tapered and an edge of the core, which is exposed in the first edge of the optical waveguide, is formed as a reflection surface. A planar type optical element is mounted as the optical element at a position that is opposite to the reflection surface to connect the planar type optical element with the core optically through the reflection surface.
