  • Apparatus for coupling a fiber optic cable to an optoelectronic device, a system including the apparatus, and a method of forming the same
    Patent number: 7476037
    Abstract: A device for forming an optical connection between an optoelectronic device and an optical fiber and for forming an electrical connection between the optoelectronic device and a substrate, a system including the device and materials, and methods of forming the device and system are disclosed. The device for forming an optical connection includes a—light transmission medium and electrical connectors, which are at least partially encapsulated. In addition, the device includes guide grooves configured to receive guide pins from a fiber ribbon connector, such that when the fiber ribbon connector is attached to the device, fibers of the ribbon align with the optoelectronic device via the light transmission medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 1, 2006
    Date of Patent: January 13, 2009
    Assignee: Zarlink Semiconductor, Inc.
    Inventors: Suresh Golwalkar, Noah Davis, John Burns, Kannan Raj, Phil McClay, Wuchun Chou, Jonathan McFarland
