ELECTRO-OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER SYSTEM WITH CONTROLLED LATERAL LEAKAGE AND METHOD OF MAKING IT

摘要

An electro-optical transceiver system (32) with controlled lateral light leakage includes a plurality of emitter devices (14) and detector devices (54) including at least one of each, arranged in a planar array for transmitting and receiving, respectively, energy in a predetermined wavelength and a blocking medium (60) disposed interstitially of the devices and being absorbing at the predetermined wavelength for blocking energy at the predetermined wavelength laterally leaking from an emitter device (14) to one or more detector devices (54).
