Filed:

Dec 11, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/732857

Inventors:

Gary Neal Poovey - Escalon CA, US

International Classification:

G02B 6/26

US Classification:

385 15, 385 16, 385 13, 385 43, 385901, 385 14

Abstract:

A light switch is disclosed to turn on or off the light signal in a light channel by means of the response of piezoelectric material to the electric field of light in the light channel. The LIGHT TRIGGERED LIGHT SWITCH is a light switch that is actuated by light of sufficient power. Light of different frequencies may travel in a light channel together without hindering each other, as long as the channel is the right size for both frequencies of light. The light that actuates the switch may be a different frequency than the light signal that is switched on or off. Fiber optic communication channels are among the channels that these switches may be used for.

Abstract:

A method has been disclosed that allows the selective deposition of the metal for double damascene silicon wafer processing. This selective deposition allows the metal to be deposited only in the via holes, contact holes, channels or where ever the deposition is targeted to be deposited on the wafer where it is needed. This method allows double damascene wafers to be processed with out the necessity of polishing back the whole surface of the wafer to remove metal from most of the wafer surface, as is currently the practice.

US Classification:

385 15, 385 16, 385 14, 385 24

Abstract:

A BENDING ELEMENT LIGHT SWITCH will be used to turn on or off the light signal in one of two adjacent fiber optic channels by the action of the electric field of the light passing through the channels. BENDING ELEMENT LIGHT SWITCH can be made adjacent to each other so that the bending elements will latch together and stay in the state required by means of the shape of the ends of the elements. The bending is accomplished by the response of piezoelectric material to the electric field of light in the fiber optic channel. This will allow information of be stored by the BENDING ELEMENT LIGHT SWITCH that are made to latch. Light of different frequencies may travel in a light channel of appropriate dimensions together without hindering each other. The light that actuates the light switching or latching may be a different frequency than the light signal that is switched on or off. This switch holds the latched position required until light signals of the appropriate wavelength and power in the proper sequence are applied to the BENDING ELEMENT LIGHT SWITCH that can latch to cause the unlatching.

Abstract:

An optical switch including a light passageway having a changeable cross-sectional area, an activation light responsive piezoelectric element associated with the light passageway, the activation light responsive piezoelectric element being operative to change its shape in response to activation light impinging thereon and a conductive element operatively associated with the piezoelectric element for enhancing activation light responsiveness thereof, the activation light responsive piezoelectric element being associated with the light passageway and being operative such that changes in the shape of the piezoelectric element cause changes in the changeable cross-sectional area of the light passageway sufficient to govern the passage of light along the light passageway. Logic gates and logic functionality employing an optical switch are also described.
