Abstract: A detector system for a fiber optic component is insensitive to stray light. Specifically, the invention comprises a detector chip, which converts received light into an electric signal. A baffle substrate is positioned over the detector chip. This baffle substrate has a transmission port through which an optical signal is transmitted to the detector chip. As a result, light that is not directed to be transmitted through the port is blocked by the baffle substrate. In this way, it rejects stray light that may be present in the hermetic package. A detector substrate is provided on which the detector chip is mounted. This detector substrate preferably comprises electrical traces to which the detector chip is electrically connected. The detector substrate can further comprise bond pads for wire bonding to make electrical connections to the electrical traces.

Abstract: A tunable optical filter system 10 has a reference source system 24 that is integrated with the tunable filter 22 on bench 14 and within hermetic package 12. The reference source system 24 is temporally modulated to decrease interference or crosstalk into the scan of the optical signal 64 of interest. Specifically, a system controller 100 energizes the reference source during a reference scan in which the tunable filter 22 is scanned across a spectrum of the optical reference 66. The controller 100, however, lowers, such as simply decreasing or entirely cutting, power to the reference source system 24 during a signal scan, in which the tunable filter 22 is scanned across the optical signal's spectrum. In this way, interference during the signal scan from the reference source system is reduced.

Abstract: An optical component is adapted for pick-and-place-style installation on an optical submount or bench and compatible with a chuck of a bonder that picks-up the optical component, places it on the optical bench, and then typically solder bonds the optical component to the bench. In the current implementation, this optical component comprises an optical element, such as an optical fiber, lens, or MOEMS device, that is attached to a plastically deformable mounting structure. The optical component has a bench-attach surface that is used to bond the optical component to an optical bench. Further, the optical component has a bonder chuck engagement surface to which a bonder chuck attaches to manipulate the optical component, such as install it, on the optical bench.

Abstract: A process for patterning dielectric layers of the type typically found in optical coatings in the context of MEMS manufacturing is disclosed. A dielectric coating is deposited over a device layer, which has or will be released, and patterned using a mask layer. In one example, the coating is etched using the mask layer as a protection layer. In another example, a lift-off process is shown. The primary advantage of photolithographic patterning of the dielectric layers in optical MEMS devices is that higher levels of consistency can be achieved in fabrication, such as size, location, and residual material stress. Competing techniques such as shadow masking yield lower quality features and are difficult to align. Further, the minimum feature size that can be obtained with shadow masks is limited to null100 nullm, depending on the coating system geometry, and they require hard contact with the surface of the wafer, which can lead to damage and/or particulate contamination.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-tunable vertical-cavity surfaceemitting laser (VCSEL) in which the MEMS mirror is a bonded to the active region. This allows for a separate electrostatic cavity, that is outside the laser's optical resonant cavity. Moreover, the use of this cavity configuration allows the MEMS mirror to be tuned by pulling the mirror away from the active region. This reduces the risk of snap down. Moreover, since the MEMS mirror is now bonded to the active region, much wider latitude is available in the technologies that are used to fabricate the MEMS mirror. This is preferably deployed as a swept source in an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system.

Abstract: An OCT system and particularly its clock system generates a k-clock signal but also generates an optical frequency reference sweep signal that, for example, indicates the start of the sweep or an absolute frequency reference associated with the sweep at least for the purposes of sampling of the interference signal and/or processing of that interference signal into the OCT images. This optical frequency reference sweep signal is generated at exactly the same frequency of the swept optical signal from sweep to sweep of that signal. This ensures that the sampling of the interference signal occurs at the same frequencies, sweep to sweep.
