Title: Gregory J Sellers: Innovator in Optical Technologies
Introduction
Gregory J Sellers is a notable inventor based in Naperville, IL (US). He holds a total of 4 patents that showcase his contributions to the field of optical technologies. His innovative work has significantly impacted the development of precision optical interconnects and fiber optic components.
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.
