    Abstract: Disclosed are a microlens array, and a method of positioning and aligning the microlens array on another device. Generally, the microlens array comprises an array of injection molded microlens elements, and a supporting flange. Each of the microlens elements has a generally spheroid or spherical shape, and the supporting flange connects together the array of microlens elements to facilitate positioning that array of lenses on a printed circuit board, semiconductor package or wafer. This array is well suited for use with vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs); and, in particular, the preferred embodiment of the invention addresses the problem of VCSEL laser array alignment by using arrays of microlenses elements fabricated by injection molding.

    Abstract: A set of interlocking modules supports and connects a die containing lasers, a set of precision molded lenses and a set of beam switching elements. Another embodiment of the invention is a structure for mounting a logic chip and an optical chip on a chip carrier, with the optical chip being mounted on the side of the carrier facing the system board on which the carrier is mounted, so that radiation travels in a straight path from optical sources on the optical chip into optical transmission guides on the board.

    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new interface and a method for making the same, and more particularly, to an electrical transmission-line interface and a method for making the same. On a substrate having semiconductors, a driver or receiver circuit is provided to interface with an electrical transmission-line. Integral means for the electrical transmission-line alignment, support and transit through a sealed environment is also provided. A fluid tight seal can also be provided for the various components that are in the interior of the housing. Variable time-delay means is provided for a computer clock system or other microwave applications.

    Abstract: A wavelength-locked loop servo-control circuit and methodology that enables real time mutual alignment of an electromagnetic signal having a peaked spectrum function including a center wavelength and a wavelength selective device implementing a peaked passband function including a center wavelength, in a system employing electromagnetic waves. The circuit comprises a mechanism for applying a dither modulation signal at a dither modulation frequency to the electromagnetic signal, and inputting the dither modulated electromagnetic signal to the wavelength selective device; a mechanism for converting a portion of the dither modulated electromagnetic signal to an electric feedback signal; a mechanism for continuously comparing the feedback signal with said dither modulation signal and generating an error signal representing a difference between a frequency characteristic of the feedback signal and a dither modulation frequency; and a mechanism for adjusting the peaked spectrum function of the electromagnetic signal according to the error signal. The center wavelength of the electromagnetic signal and the wavelength selective device center wavelength become aligned when the frequency characteristic of the feedback signal is two times the dither modulation frequency.
