Title:
導波路をデバイスに整列させるための方法および装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4689053
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An apparatus which aligns a fiber core to a detector on an integrated circuit has a transmission material connecting them which steers the light provided through the fiber core to the detector even in the case of misalignment. The transmission material chosen has a characteristic of being able to have the spatial distribution of its index of refraction altered by electrical means. In this case, an electric field is applied in the area surrounding the path from the fiber core to the detector. Thus, even if the fiber core is not aligned to the detector, the light will be directed from the fiber core to the detector due to the path being surrounded by a lower index of refraction than the path itself. Thus, there is very little loss due to misalignment between the fiber core and the detector.
