Optical Coupling Structure

View page
US Patent:
7454102, Nov 18, 2008
Filed:
Apr 26, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/412738
Inventors:
Thomas Keyser - Plymouth MN, US
Grenville Hughes - Wayzata MN, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G02B 6/34
G02B 6/10
US Classification:
385 36, 385 14, 385 15, 385 31, 385 39, 385 49, 385129, 385130, 385131
Abstract:
An optoelectronic coupling structure, a method of manufacture, and a method of operation are described. The optical coupling structure includes a waveguide that is formed within a device layer of an SOI substrate. A prism is located on a bottom side of the SOI substrate. A BOX layer of the SOI substrate, which is interposed between the prism and the waveguide, serves as a spacer region, which promotes an optical coupling of the prism to the waveguide. By positioning the prism below the waveguide, an optoelectronic IC may more readily accommodate a prism. The prism may be directly fabricated in a bulk layer of the SOI substrate or directly bonded to a bottom side surface of the BOX layer.

Optical Resonator Gyro With Integrated External Cavity Beam Generator

View page
US Patent:
7463360, Dec 9, 2008
Filed:
Apr 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/406939
Inventors:
Grenville Hughes - Wayzata MN, US
Glen A. Sanders - Scottsdale AZ, US
Lee K. Strandjord - Tonka Bay MN, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G01C 19/72
US Classification:
356461
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the rotational rate of an optical gyro. An optical gyro comprises at least one substrate, a multi-frequency light source (MFLS) mounted on the substrate, and a resonator coupled to the MFLS. The MFLS is configured to produce a first light beam having a first frequency and a second light beam having a second frequency and phase locked with the first light beam. The resonator comprises an optical fiber coil having a hollow core. The resonator is configured to circulate a portion of each of the first and second light beams through the hollow core. The portion of the first light beam propagates in a first counter-propagating direction, and the portion of the second light beam propagates in a second counter-propagating direction. A measured difference between the first and second frequencies indicates a frequency shift proportional to the rotation rate of the optical gyro.

US Patent:
7535576, May 19, 2009
Filed:
May 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/433965
Inventors:
Thomas Keyser - Plymouth MN, US
Glen A. Sanders - Scottsdale AZ, US
Grenville Hughes - Wayzata MN, US
Lee K. Strandjord - Tonka Bay MN, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G01C 19/72
G01C 19/66
G02B 6/00
US Classification:
356461, 356469, 356470, 385 12
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a low cost optical gyro using thin film waveguides to direct light beams among the components of the gyro. The gyro includes a substrate having an insulator layer, a silicon waveguide formed on the insulator layer, and a resonator coupled to the silicon waveguide and configured to circulate a portion of a first light beam in a first counter-propagating direction and circulate a portion of a second light beam in a second counter-propagating direction. The first silicon waveguide propagates the first and second light beams therethrough. Each of the first and second light beams has a resonance frequency when circulating in the resonator.

Optical Gyro With Free Space Resonator And Method For Sensing Inertial Rotation Rate

View page
US Patent:
7362443, Apr 22, 2008
Filed:
Nov 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/282229
Inventors:
Glen A. Sanders - Scottsdale AZ, US
Grenville Hughes - Wayzata MN, US
Thomas Keyser - Plymouth MN, US
Lee K. Strandjord - Tonka Bay MN, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G01C 19/72
US Classification:
356470
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a low cost optical gyro with a free space closed optical path. A ring resonator comprises a substrate and reflectors formed or placed on the substrate. The reflectors comprise a closed optical path and are configured to direct each of first and second light beams in a different counter-propagating direction in the closed optical path. Each of the first and second light beams frequencies are tuned to the resonance frequency of the resonator in the direction of propagation for which the light beam is circulating in the closed optical path.

Low-Loss Optical Device Structure

View page
US Patent:
20070274655, Nov 29, 2007
Filed:
Nov 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/557185
Inventors:
Thomas Keyser - Plymouth MN, US
Grenville Hughes - Wayzata MN, US
Jerry Yue - Roseville MN, US
Assignee:
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G02B 6/10
US Classification:
385131
Abstract:
A method of fabrication and a structure for a low-loss optical device. The optical device structure includes a waveguide that is formed within a device layer of an SOI substrate. A cladding region is formed beneath the waveguide and a BOX layer of the SOI substrate. The cladding region may comprise an air cavity or a cavity that is filled or at least partially filled with a dielectric material. Because the cladding region is formed in the bottom side, it supplements the BOX layer cladding. Consequently, a thinner BOX layer may be used for both electronic and optical devices, which facilitates optoelectronic IC processing and design.

Capacitive Pressure Sensor Housing Having A Ceramic Base

View page
US Patent:
60587806, May 9, 2000
Filed:
Dec 5, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/986253
Inventors:
Anthony J. Bernot - Gilbert AZ
Grenville Hughes - Tucson AZ
Laura J. Lindberg - Tempe AZ
Assignee:
AlliedSignal Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G01L 912
US Classification:
73724
Abstract:
A capacitive pressure sensor capsule has a housing with a ceramic cover sealingly attached to a ceramic base that defines an interior chamber. The sensing medium enters the chamber through an inlet port. A glass sensor is attached to an integral pillar that extends from the housing into the chamber. A conducting member extends through the pillar into the housing and carries the signals from the sensor. The combination of the glass sensor and ceramic housing provides high accuracy over a wide range of temperature, because the thermal coefficient of expansion of glass and ceramic are similar. Hermetic sealing of the sensor electrical circuitry ensures long term immunity from the sensed environment.
