Todd Thyes 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).

  • Optical sub-assembly packaging techniques that incorporate optical lenses
    Patent number: 7431516
    Abstract: Techniques for manufacturing an optical transmission device in a manner so that the photonic device is protected from damage that can be caused by exposure to the environment and physical handling are described. The invention involves placing a lens or a lens array over a photonic device, either with or without the use of a receptacle device, such that the photonic device is contained within a sealed cavity. The invention has three main embodiments in which the photonic device can be hermetically sealed, quasi-hermetically sealed, or non-hermetically sealed. The optical transmission device can be configured to serve as an optical receiver, detector, or a transceiver device.
    Type: Grant
