Abstract: A hybrid electro-optical circuit board including a plate, a light guiding hole and a light-guide device. The light guiding hole is formed in the plate to be connected to an upper surface and a lower surface of the plate. The light-guide device is formed on the lower surface and covers and contacts the light guiding hole. An optical signal is transmitted between the light-guide device and the upper surface of the plate via the light guiding hole. A metal layer is further formed on an inner wall of the light guiding hole, to reduce the roughness of the inner wall and reflects the optical signal by the reflection characteristics of metal. Further, the light guiding hole is filled with a transparent substance to transmit the optical signal and to stop foreign material from entering the light guiding hole.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A high accurate SOI optical waveguide Michelson interferometer sensor for temperature monitoring has designed and analyzed in this invention. According to the numerical analysis of power reflective spectra of waveguide Michelson interferometers, the temperature sensing of waveguide SOI Michelson interferometer sensor can improve at least 20 times than fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor. Moreover, the SOI Waveguide interferometer sensor we designed presents high sensitivity than pure single waveguide Bragg grating sensor and fiber Bragg grating sensor by adjusting the length of the two interferometric arms. The full wavelength half maximum (FWHM) of our designed SOI optical waveguide Michelson interferometer can be narrowed much smaller than fiber Bragg grating and waveguide Bragg grating sensors for sensitivity improvement. The invention of this optical SOI waveguid sensing devices shows promising results for developing integrated OEIC sensors in the future.
