  • Broadband matching network for an electroabsorption optical modulator
    Patent number: 6677830
    Abstract: A broadband impedance matching circuit for use with an optical device such as an electroabsorption optical modulator comprises a microstrip transmission line, including pairs of like-sized open stubs disposed on opposite sides of the transmission line along its length. The number of open stubs, as well as their dimensions and location are chosen to provide for broadband impedance matching (from dc to several GHz) between an external electrical signal source and the optical device.

  • Uncooled universal laser module
    Patent number: 6618407
    Abstract: An uncooled, through-hole configured laser module adapted to receive and transmit RF signals to a laser at bandwidths from direct current (DC) to about ten gigahertz. The laser module incorporates an option for two pin-out configurations. One pin-out configuration has one ground pin and one signal pin for operation at about one gigabit/second or one gigahertz. The second high performance pin-out uses two ground pins and one signal pin for operation up to about ten gigabit/second or ten gigahertz.
