Abstract
An electro-optical transceiver system with controlled lateral light leakage and a method of making such a system includes a plurality of emitter devices and detector devices including at least one of each, arranged in a planar array for transmitting and receiving, respectively, energy in a predetermined wavelength and a blocking medium disposed interstitially of the devices and being absorbing at the predetermined wavelength for blocking energy at the predetermined wavelength laterally leaking from an emitter device to one or more detector devices.
Claims7
A method for integration of photonic devices comprising the steps of:
- providing an array of first photonic devices;
- surrounding said first photonic devices, at least partially, with a blocking medium absorptive at an operative wavelength of said first photonic devices;
- providing an array of second photonic devices;
- surrounding said second photonic devices, at least partially, with said blocking medium absorptive at an operative wavelength of said second photonic devices;
- forming optically transmissive medium channels in said blocking medium, wherein said transmissive medium channels are disposed in such a way as to communicate between said first photonic devices and said second photonic devices.
