Patent number: 6955478Abstract: A device includes a stub, and an optical fiber. The stub has an aperture, and a first end and a second end. The optical fiber is mounted in the aperture of the stub. The optical fiber has a first end and a second end. The first end of the optical fiber is polished so as to be flush with the first end of the stub. The second end of the optical fiber is cleaved at a predetermined position so as to provide for a predetermined length of the optical fiber measured from the first end of the optical fiber to the second end of the optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2004Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Stratos International, Inc.Inventors: Richard C. E. Durrant, Aleksandr Lantsman, David G. Mead, Christopher M. Warnes, Theodore Washburn

Patent number: 6349105Abstract: A small format optoelectronic package or device includes a non-electrically conductive substrate partially covered by an electrically conductive can. The electrically conductive can has a transparent element affixed to an aperture of the electrically conductive can. The electrically conductive can encloses and hermetically seals an optical diode, and conductors between the electrically conductive can and the non-electrically conductive substrate. The non-electrically conductive substrate has two through-holes formed through a thickness of the non-electrically conductive substrate. The two through-holes are filled with an electrically conductive material so as to form two electrically conductive vias. Additionally, a surface of the non-electrically conductive substrate is organized into two regions. The first region has the electrically conductive plating material applied thereto. The first and second through-holes protrudes through the second region.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2000Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Stratos Lightwave, Inc.Inventors: Patrick B. Gilliland, Carlos Jines, Theodore Washburn, Scott Erickson, Gregg Rapala

Patent number: 6331992Abstract: A small format optoelectronic package or device includes a non-electrically conductive substrate partially covered by an electrically conductive can. The electrically conductive can has a transparent element affixed to an aperture of the electrically conductive can. The electrically conductive can encloses and hermetically seals an optical diode, a monitor diode, and conductors between the electrically conductive can and the non-electrically conductive substrate. The non-electrically conductive substrate has three through-holes formed through a thickness of the non-electrically conductive substrate. The three through-holes are filled with an electrically conductive material so as to form three electrically conductive vias. Additionally, a surface of the non-electrically conductive substrate is organized into three regions. The first and third regions have the electrically conductive plating material applied thereto. The first through-hole protrudes through the first region.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2000Date of Patent: December 18, 2001Assignee: Stratos Lightwave, Inc.Inventors: Patrick B.

Patent number: 6283644Abstract: An optical package is provided including a housing having first and second ends. A ferrule receiving bore is formed in the first end, and an optics cavity is formed in the second end. The optics cavity and the ferrule receiving bore are axially aligned with one another along an optical axis defined by the package. A mounting cap is inserted over the optics cavity and frictionally engages an outer surface of the housing. The end cap includes an endplate and a substrate having an optical device mounted thereon. The ferrule receiving bore includes a longitudinal slot extending generally parallel to the axis of the bore providing radial flexibility to the outer wall. Additionally, a split sleeve is provided for accepting a fiber optic connector ferrule. The split sleeve being insertable and expandable in a ferrule receiving bore of an optical package housing. The split sleeve being retained in the ferrule receiving bore with an adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1999Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Stratos Lightwave, Inc.Inventors: Patrick B.
