Patents by Inventor Susannah Heck

Susannah Heck 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).

  • Publication number: 20220019029
    Abstract: An optical coupler couples light from waveguides of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) to output waveguides, for example waveguides of a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The optical coupler includes optical elements having different optical properties. In some embodiments the optical properties vary to account for waveguide angled facets in the PIC, and in some embodiments the optical properties vary to account for the PIC being mounted at an angle compared to the PLC, or optical coupler.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10782472
    Abstract: A switch module includes a switch integrated circuit (IC), a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The PIC may include a plurality of light sources, an optical splitter, and a plurality of modulators. A dual MEMS may be used to align lens arrays, which may be used to couple light from the PIC to the PLC.
