  • Silicon opto-electronic integrated circuit for fiber optic gyros or communication
    Patent number: 5432338
    Abstract: An opto-electronic integrated circuit contains a coupler and one or two detector/receivers which may be on a silicon substrate which permits "blind" attachment of optical fibers by means of precision grooves and vertical cuts. By simplifying the typical optical circuit, through a reduction in components and connections, significant cost savings are obtained.
