Abstract:
Methods for manufacturing and using an optical or optoelectronic device are disclosed. The optical or optoelectronic device and related methods may be useful as an optical or optoelectronic transceiver or for the processing of optical signals. The optical or optoelectronic device generally comprises a light-transmitting medium configured to transmit a first light beam; a light-receiving unit configured to receive and process a focused, reflected light beam; a first mirror or beam splitter configured to reflect at least a first portion of the transmitted light beam away from the light-receiving unit; a lens configured to focus the reflected light beam; and a second mirror configured to reflect the focused, reflected light beam towards the light-receiving unit.
Abstract:
Methods for manufacturing and using an optical and/or optoelectronic device are disclosed. The optical or optoelectronic device and related methods may be useful for the transmitting of optical signals. The optical and/or optoelectronic device generally comprises (i) a laser diode on a mounting assembly, the laser diode providing an optical output signal, (ii) an optical communication medium configured to receive the optical output signal, (iii) a lens holder on the mounting assembly, (iv) and a lens in the lens holder, wherein the lens holder is in a position that aligns the lens with the laser diode and the optical communication medium.
