Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Raised rib waveguide ribbon for precision optical interconnects." This invention provides a waveguide connector assembly designed for the precision interconnection of mating arrays of parallel optical waveguides, which are preferably photolithographically formed on substrates. The connector assembly features a base with several parallel channel walls cut along its surface. A waveguide assembly is positioned on the base, comprising a substrate and several transparent, polymeric waveguides that are raised from the substrate's surface. The waveguides have a polygonal cross-section with flat edges, ensuring that each waveguide is set in one of the channels and contacts the walls of the channel at multiple points. A cover plate secures the waveguide assembly on the base.
Another significant patent is the "Multiple fiber positioner for optical fiber connection." This invention provides a micromachined structure that includes multiple V-grooves in silicon, created via anisotropic etching, for positioning optical fibers in splices and connectors. The multiple fiber positioner (MFP) has a permanently bonded cover, making it a one-piece, stand-alone component. This MFP component is instrumental in creating new fiber optic splices and connectors.
