    Assignee: Ciena Corporation
    Inventors: Thomas S. Faska, Peter J. Kelly
  • Patent number: 8089973
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data distribution device comprising of a core electronics suite having at least two data ports where each port is in communication with its own network transport medium. At least two broadband transceivers, each in communication with its own broadband data port, enable sending and receiving of broadband data signals. At least two converters, each in communication with its own transceiver, enable the conversion of RF modulated data signals into data packets and the conversion of data packets into RF modulated data signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6875975
    Abstract: A semiconductor-based, photo detector device capable of simultaneously detecting two or more selected wavelengths of light on a pixel-registered basis. The device has detector layers of selected semiconductor materials of one micron or less in thickness interspersed with contact layers, each detector layer having a different light absorption to wavelength response curve. All contact layers, including detector bias voltages, have electrical contacts on the backside of the pixel for discrete pixel connection to mating connections on a suitable ROIC substrate. Among its several embodiments, there is a multi-color detector array and a single channel per pixel differential optical signal detector.
