Abstract
An optical mirror module has an interface port that is spaced from a corresponding die. More specifically, the optical mirror module includes a substrate and a die having at least one mirror and circuitry to control the at least one mirror. The optical mirror module defines a plane that is substantially parallel to the die. The optical mirror module further includes the noted interface port, which is adapted to electrically couple the circuitry with a device external to the optical mirror module. As suggested above, the interface port is located on the substrate and spaced from the die on the plane.
Claims20
An optical mirror module comprising:
- a substrate;
- a die having at least one mirror and circuitry to control the at least one mirror, the die having a length dimension,
- the optical mirror module defining a plane that is substantially parallel to the die along its length dimension;
- and
- an interface port adapted to electrically couple the circuitry with a device external to the optical mirror module, the interface port being located on the substrate and being spaced from the die in a direction that is substantially parallel to the plane.
An optical mirror module comprising:
- a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface having a top edge portion, the bottom surface having a bottom edge portion;
- a die having at least one mirror and circuitry to control the at least one mirror;
- and
- at least one interface port adapted to electrically couple the circuitry with a device external to the optical mirror module, the at least one interface port being located on one of the top edge portion and the bottom edge portion.
The optical mirror module as defined by claim 10 wherein the die has a length dimension, the module forming a module plane that is substantially parallel to the die along its length dimension, the top and bottom edge portions being spaced from the die in a direction that is substantially parallel with the module plane.
An optical mirror module comprising:
- a substrate having a first surface and a second surface;
- a die having at least one mirror and circuitry to control the at least one mirror,
- the first surface defining a plane that is substantially parallel to the die;
- and
- means for electrically coupling the circuitry with a device external to the optical mirror module, the coupling means being located on at least one of the first surface and the second surface, the coupling means also being spaced from the die on the plane.
