Patent number: 7489872Abstract: The present invention is an optical fiber system and method for carrying both CATV and Ethernet signals. The digital signals are translated into higher band by a direct up/down conversion so that analog signals and digital signals are treated as different frequency bands of electrical signals. Then, all the signals are mixed/divided by a power combiner/divider. And then, by using optoelectronic devices, the signals are processed with optoelectronic conversion. The converted optical signals are transmitted in a fiber or a related optical channel having low channel loss yet high capacity. To sum up, the present invention can transmit digital signals together with analog signals in a single wavelength to save the cost of an optical signal system and to provide a convenience on rearranging the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: National Central UniversityInventors: Yi-Jen Chan, Fan-Hsiu Huang, Hsin-Pin Wang, Dong-Ming Lin, Mu-Tao Chu, Shin-Ge Lee, Shun-Tien Lee

Patent number: 6511235Abstract: The present invention pertains to an integrated surface-emitting optoelectronic module and the method for making the same. The yellow light procedure is performed to define a V-groove width for disposing an optical fiber on a silicon substrate. After dry etching a vertical groove, a dielectric layer is grown on the surface of the silicon substrate to protect the vertical wall, preventing the groove from getting wider due to subsequent wet etching. A 45-degree mirror surface is formed so that an optoelectronic device can be disposed on the mirror surface in the flip chip method. The optoelectronic module employs a complete silicon substrate to assemble a surface-emitting optoelectronic devices and an optical fiber by passive alignment, and therefore can be free from misalignment due to separate assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Weng-Jin Wu, Yih-Der Guo, Tsung-Hsuan Chiu, Rong-Heng Yuang, Mu-Tao Chu

Patent number: 6483864Abstract: A partial reflective laser output device comprising a partial reflective unit mounted on a laser output device (such as a vertical cavity emitting laser), the partial reflective unit allowing the laser beam emitted from the laser output device to be partially reflected while the rest penetrating through. On one hand, this device decreases the intensity of output laser light so as to comply with the eye safety standard; the reflected light is absorbed by a photodiode (PD) to perform auto power control on the laser output device on the other. In addition, by adjusting the tilting angle of the partial reflective unit or making a curvature thereon, the reflected light can have no destructive interference with the output light and can even be focused onto the PD so that there would be no relative intensity noise problem and the size of the PD can be made smaller to lower the cost.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2000Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Rong-Heng Yuang, Chia-Ming Tsai, Ding-Wei Huang, Mu-Tao Chu
