An optical link includes a polymer waveguide having a top cladding layer, a core polymer layer, and a bottom cladding layer, supported by a substrate, with mirrors and optical vias. The core polymer layer includes a polymer material having a nanoparticle filler with a particle size of less than one tenth the shortest wavelength of interest for the optical link. The optical links comprise individual, multiple or massively parallel channels in single or multilayer networks.

Short reach optical interconnect

The invention provides methods, compositions, and apparatus for performing sensitive detection of analytes, such as biological macromolecules and other analytes, by labeling a probe molecule with an up-converting label. The up-converting label absorbs radiation from an illumination source and emits radiation at one or more higher frequencies, providing enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and the essential elimination of background sample autofluorescence. The methods, compositions, and apparatus are suitable for the sensitive detection of multiple analytes and for various clinical and environmental sampling techniques.

Up-converting reporters for biological and other assays using laser excitation techniques

A flat panel display is based on a new switching technology for routing laser light among a set of optical waveguides and coupling that light toward the viewer. The switching technology is based on poled electro-optical structures. The display technology is versatile enough to cover application areas spanning the range from miniature high resolution computer displays to large screen displays for high definition television formats. The invention combines the high brightness and power efficiency inherent in visible semiconductor diode laser sources with a new waveguide electro-optical switching technology to form a dense two-dimensional addressable array of high brightness light emissive pixels.
