The electro-optical module has a housing in which a supporting plate provided with at least one optical element, electric circuit elements, and electric connection elements is accommodated. The object is to provide such a module with a smallest possible additional spatial requirement and good electrical properties with additional electric circuit elements. To this end, the circuit elements are arranged outside of the housing on a circuit board which forms an integral part of the wall of the housing. The circuit board is directly electrically connected to the supporting plate.

Electro-optical module with a housing

The transceiver module has the transmitter and receiver mounted on one side of a leadframe above light passage openings formed therein. A beam deflection receptacle, containing a fiber connection opening, at least one beam splitter and a deflection mirror, is fixed on the other side of the lead frame. The external electrical terminals of the leadframe are bent around a plastic covering and shaped out to form terminal areas, so that the module is suitable for SMT.

Leadframe-based optoelectronic bidirectional transmitting and receiving module

An electro-optical data transmission module comprises at least a first SMT housing ( ) and a second SMT housing ( ). A surface-emitting laser light emitter chip is accommodated in the first SMT housing ( ), and a light-sensitive light receiver chip is accommodated in the second SMT housing ( ). By virtue of the modular design which is formed from at least two individual SMT housings, the electro-optical data transmission module can be implemented with a minimum size.

Electro-optical data transfer module

A transmission and reception device, in which the transmission device and the reception device and the input/output end of a glass fiber are disposed optically in series with respect to one another. A laser diode is disposed on a central part of a photosensitive surface and the input/output end of the glass fiber is in turn adjusted in front of its end face. As a result of a cylindrical symmetry of the photosensitive surface and of the laser diode with respect to a fiber axis, a maxima of the coupling curves coincide with the fiber axis, so that a lateral fiber offset leads to only a moderate change in coupling efficiency.

Two-way optical transmission and reception device

An electronic circuit arrangement has a receiving component that detects an incoming physical signal, and supplies an electrical signal current in response thereto, as well as a control and analysis component which is fed by a supply voltage and is acted upon by the electrical signal current. The electronic circuit arrangement can be operated in a working state, in which a power is consumed, and in a rest state, in which no power is consumed. A quiescent current detector is connected in parallel to the receiving component and the control and analysis component. In the rest state of the circuit arrangement (when the supply voltage is switched off), the quiescent current detector detects the signal current supplied by the receiving component, and controls switching-on of the circuit arrangement into the operative state in response thereto.

Circuit arrangement for limiting the power of the optical signal emitted

In a bidirectional light waveguide telecommunication system having a passive light waveguide bus network extending between a switching center and a plurality of subscriber locations, only the switching center is designed for a normal bidirectional wavelength division multiplex operation and is provided for this purpose with an electro-optical transmission element, an opto-electrical receiving element and an optical filter, whereas only a combined opto-electrical receiving/electro-optical transmitting module that respectively works only in the time separation mode and is designed for emitting light having a wavelength for reception by the opto-electrical receiving element of the switching center is provided in the subscriber locations. In this combined receiving/transmitting module, the transmitting diode can be used, in alternation, as a receiving diode; alternatively thereto, the combined receiving/transmitting module can be formed with a laser module provided with a laser diode transmitted and with a monitor photodiode which is used, in alternation, as a receiving diode.

Bidirectional light waveguide (LWG) telecommunication system and method

In an opto-electronic module housing for positioning an end of an optical fiber in a desired position relative to an active area of an opto-electronic component characterized by the housing including an optical fiber connector having an adjustment plane at one end and an arrangement for holding an end of an optical fiber with the axis of the fiber on an axis extending perpendicular to the adjustment plane with the end being a fixed distance from the plane, an adjustment frame being securable to the adjustment plane and an arrangement for locating an opto-electronic component or transducer relative to the frame including a plate having the component mounted thereon. The arrangement including the plate is securable to the frame and the frame and the arrangement enable adjusting the component in three spatial directions relative to the end of the fiber to obtain an optimum adjustable position. The module housing can be received in an outer gas and light-tight housing in which case the connector extends through a wall of a can or member forming part of the outer housing which coacts with a lid to enable access to the interiorly disposed module housing. The component can either be a light-emitting opto-electronic component or a light-opto-electronic receiving component.

In a time division multiplex system having chronological grouping of optically transmittable PPM signals, the PPM signals of one half of the time channels are transmitted as pulses in one half of each pulse frame and the PPM signals of the other half of the time channels are transmitted as pulse pauses in the other half of each frame for the purpose of the co-transmission of a clock frequency component without providing a separate synchro time slot. For this purpose, PPM pulses are formed and transmitted only in one pulse frame half, while PPM pulses formed in the other pulse frame half are subtracted from a continuous signal corresponding in amplitude to the pulse amplitude, and the signal difference is transmitted. At the receiver, the frame clock component is filtered out by a band-pass filters and is exploited for controlling a receiving clock generator.

Time division multiplex system having transmitted pulses in time

A broad band switching system for television signals and, under certain conditions, for radio signals, provides that the signals which are phase modulated with the TV programs are switchable by way of a broad band switching network and can then be transmitted in frequency division multiplex to the subscribers by way of light wave guides. In such a system, each television program source is supplied in a plurality of frequency channels to a corresponding plurality of frequency channel-specific switching levels for the purpose of television program switching, so that each subscriber has simultaneous access in the plurality of frequency channels to a corresponding plurality of programs. Additional television program sources, as well as audio program sources, can be constantly connected to the subscribers by way of additional frequency channels.

Broad band switching system

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for passing of blocking signals having wide band width with the use of at least one electronic switch. The circuit is a very simple arrangement, and provides for a plurality of modulators, or at least one modulator prior to the switching, and wherein the electronic switch is utilized is a logical linkage. The circuit is particularly adaptable for use in television circuits for distributing television signals.
