This paper introduces a new interface of an optical pin for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), the V-shape cut type which is an innovation from the 90-degree cut type optical pin. The effectiveness is determined by optical characteristics through OptiCAD and by experiment. The simulation used a model of ray tracing analysis which is a one to two (split) connection function model. For the experiment, a Polymer Optical Fibre (POF) V-shape optical pin has been fabricated. It was found that the V-shaped optical pin has a multi-branched function and is applicable to optical interconnection. Full Text: PDF ReferencesMikami, O., et al.

The Arduino UNO, ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, and Processing as visual software was used to create a low cost ultrasonic radar system that can detect and determine the location of an object, such as obstacles, in a short distance. Objects can be sensed up to 40 cm away from the ultrasonic sensor and the ultrasonic radar's angular rotation can detect objects from 15o to 165o and counterclockwise. The obstacle objects will be displayed in the computer panel by running the visual software. A comparative analysis of the distance error between the radar and the obstacles is used to assess the feasibility of the proposed system. The findings obtained from measurements of the obstacles are tabled to show that the planned design achieved a relatively small error, with 90% as the lowest accuracy.

The distances optical interconnects must cover are decreasing as Internet traffic continues to increase. Since short-reach interconnect applications require many transmitters, cost and power consumption are significant issues. Directly modulated lasers with a wavelength-scale active volume will be used as optical interconnects on boards and chips in the future because a small active volume is expected to reduce power consumption. We developed electrically driven photonic crystal (PhC) lasers with a wavelength-scale cavity in which the active region is embedded in a line-defect waveguide of an InP-based PhC slab. We call this a λ-scale embedded active region PhC laser, or a LEAP laser. The device, whose active region has six quantum wells with 2.5 × 0.3 × 0.15 μm3 active volume, exhibits a threshold current of 28 μA and provides 10 fJ/bit of operating energy to 25 Gbit/s NRZ (non-return-to-zero) signals. The fiber-coupled output power is 6.9 μW. We also demonstrate heterogeneous integration of LEAP lasers on a SiO2/Si substrate for low-cost photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The threshold current is 40.5 μA and the output power is 4.4 μW with a bias current of 200 μA. These results indicate the feasibility of using PhC lasers in very-short-distance optical communications.
