Abstract: A system for detecting objects, for driver assistance equipment in motor vehicles for example, includes a transmitter for transmitting towards an object an optical signal having a signal energy. The optical signal transmitted includes at least one encoded pulse sequence with the signal energy distributed over the pulse sequence. A receiver receives an echo signal resulting from reflection of the optical signal at the object with the time delay of the echo signal is indicative of the distance to the object.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device may include a package having a component for sending/receiving optical signals along a first direction, and a chip of semiconductor material housed within the package. The chip may have a main surface and a portion exposed on the main surface for sending/receiving the optical signals along a second direction different from the first direction. The optoelectronic device may further include a component for deflecting the optical signals between the first direction and the second direction, the component being mounted on the main surface.

Abstract: An intra-board chip-to-chip optical communications system has a high bit rate and high data throughput based on the use of a silicon photonic interposer. The system includes a multi-substrate electro-optical structure for communications with CMOS and/or BiCMOS IC chips of a PCB. The structure includes a multi-chip module primary substrate mounted over the supporting PCB. The multi-chip module primary substrate implements high frequency electrical interconnections between transceiver circuit chips, mounted on the silicon photonic interposer, and the IC chips.
