Patent
Frustrated total internal reflection device
TL;DR: In this paper, a bimorph transducer is coupled to a switchplate and two ends of the transducers are coupled to the refractor and the switchplate is coupled between the two ends.
Patent
Method and apparatus for connecting optical fibers
TL;DR: In this article, an optical apparatus includes an optical fiber and a lens having a first face coupled to the optical fiber, and a second face angled with respect to the first face to direct reflections generated at the second face away from the optical fibre.
Patent
Frustrated total internal reflection bus and method of operation
TL;DR: In this paper, an optical bus for processing an optical signal includes an optical waveguide and a switchplate, and the switchplate is placed in proximal contact with a reflecting surface of the optical signal to frustrate the total internal reflection of the signal.
Patent
Frustrated total internal reflection device having a first spacer and a second spacer
TL;DR: In this paper, a device for processing an optical signal includes a refractor with a reflecting surface for reflecting the optical signal by total internal reflection, and a switchplate and an actuator to place the switchplate into proximal contact with the refractor to frustrate the total internal reflections.
Patent
Frustrated total internal reflection device having a spacer and an endplate
TL;DR: In this paper, a device for processing an optical signal includes a refractor with a reflecting surface for reflecting the optical signal by total internal reflection, and a switchplate and an actuator to place the switchplate into proximal contact with the refractor to frustrate the total internal reflections.
