Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A holographic mirror 10 for re-directing an optical signal that includes a base 14 having an outer surface 16 , and a plurality of discrete nano-structures 12 formed into the outer surface of the base. Each nano-structure has an out-of-plane dimension 20 that is within an order of magnitude of one or both in-plane dimensions 22 . The plurality of nano-structures are configured in a repeating pattern with a predetermined spacing 18 between nano-structures for re-directing an optical signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An evanescent optical interconnect for coupling an optical signal between adjacent optical pathways, comprising: a first optical pathway including: a first outer layer and a first inner core to allow an optical signal to travel therein; a first tapered region to project the optical signal into evanescent light outside the first outer layer; and a first plurality of optical elements formed into the first outer layer for re-directing evanescent lig…
