Abstract
An electro-optical interconnection platform is provided. The platform includes an interface medium; a plurality of optical pads; a plurality of electrical pads; and at least one beam coupler adapted to optically couple at least one pair of optical pads of the plurality of optical pads, wherein the at least one pair of optical pads are placed on opposite sides of the interface medium.
Claims30
An electro-optical interconnection platform, comprising:
- an interface medium;
- a plurality of optical pads;
- a plurality of electrical pads;
- and
- at least one beam coupler adapted to optically couple at least one pair of optical pads of the plurality of optical pads, wherein the at least one pair of optical pads includes a first optical pad and a second optical pad that are placed substantially on opposite edges of the interface medium,
- wherein the beam coupler optically couples a light optical source, adjacently placed and connected to the first optical pad and a light optical drain adjacently placed and connected to the second optical pad,
- wherein the first optical pad diverges a light beam from a the light optical source into substantially parallel light beams, and
- wherein the second optical pad is designed to reflect a focused light beam to a light drain, and wherein the substantially parallel light beams travel through the interface medium.
5 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a first mirror configured:
- 1) to be proximate to an optical source and 2) to focus light associated with the optical source and an optical drain;
- a second mirror positioned distal to the first mirror and configured to reflect and substantially collimate the light associated with the optical source and the optical drain;
- and
- an interface medium, a portion of which being disposed between the first mirror and the second mirror, and through which the light travels,
- wherein the first mirror and the second mirror are vertically and horizontally spaced in relation to each other.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- an optical pad configured:
- 1) to be proximate to an optical fiber and 2) to focus light associated with the optical fiber and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC);
- a distal optical pad positioned distal to the optical pad, the distal optical pad configured to reflect and substantially collimate the light associated with the optical fiber and the PIC;
- and
- an interface medium substrate, a portion of which being disposed between the optical pad and the distal optical pad,
- wherein the optical pad is vertically and horizontally spaced from the distal optical pad.
