Patent EP-0856755-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LI YUAN P
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: An optical device 201, having one or more input waveguides 25 coupled to
one side of a slab waveguide 20 and an array of output waveguides 26 coupled to
an other side of the slab waveguide, is improved by including a transition region 22
immediately adjacent to the slab that operates to reduce insertion loss between the
waveguide array 26 and the slab waveguide. The transition region includes a
number of silica paths ( a 1   ··· a n   ) that intersect the waveguide array. The silica paths
have widths  W ( a n   ) that progressively decrease as they become further away from
the slab waveguide. The silica paths are parallel to each other and perpendicular to
the waveguide array. Disclosed embodiments include an M x N star coupler, a
Dense Waveguide Division Multiplexer, and a 1 x N power splitter. In each of
these embodiments, insertion loss is substantially reduced over similar devices not
employing such a transition region.

Title: Procede de formation de matrice conductrice multi-niveau
Inventor: CHANG DAVID C
IPC: H01J9/227
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de formation de structure matricielle tridimensionnelle multi-niveau électroconductrice pour afficheur à écran plat. Selon une réalisation, la présente invention consiste à former une première série de structures de séparation de pixels sur toute la surface de la dalle de verre d'un afficheur à écran plat. Ces premières structures de séparation de pixels séparent des premières régions adjacentes de sous-pixels. Selon cette réalisation, on forme les premières structures de séparation de pixels en appliquant sur toute la surface de la dalle de verre un matériau photosensible. On enlève ensuite des parties de la première couche de matériau photosensible de façon à laisser des régions de la première couche de matériau photosensible recouvrant les premières régions correspondantes de sous-pixels. On applique ensuite sur la surface de la dalle de verre une première couche de matériau électroconducteur de façon que la première couche de matériau électroconducteur soit disposée entre les régions considérées de la première couche de matériau photosensible. L'invention consiste ensuite à enlever les régions de la première couche de matériau photosensible en abandonnant uniquement les premières structures de séparation de pixels formés sur la première couche de matériau électroconducteur, et disposées entre les premières régions de sous-pixels. On répète ensuite le processus pour former des deuxièmes structures de séparation de pixels entre les deuxièmes régions de sous-pixels. Les deuxièmes structures de séparation de pixels sont orientées sensiblement en angle droit par rapport aux premières structures de séparation des pixels. En outre, ces deuxièmes structures de séparation de pixels sont d'une hauteur différente des premières structures de séparation de pixels. Grâce à ce procédé, il est possible de former une structure matricielle tridimensionnelle multi-niveau électroconductrice.
