Method, device and optical package with enhanced temperature stability

摘要

The present invention provides a method, device and optical package (10,22) for enhancing a temperature stability by controlling a variable characteristic of an optical package and optical interconnect system. The device includes an optical emitter (14) for generating a predetermined beam of light (16) having a predetermined wavelength, a photo-sensing unit (20) for receiving a portion (18) of the predetermined beam of light (16), and a stability-enhancing broad bandwidth holographic optical element (12), wherein the predetermined wavelength of the predetermined beam of light substantially coincides with a working range wavelength of a broad bandwidth of the stability-enhancing broad bandwidth holographic optical element (12), for enhancing the temperature stability of the optical package and the optical interconnect system in response to changes in a thermal expansion of the stability-enhancing broad bandwidth holographic optical element (12) and the changes in the predetermined wavelength of the predetermined optical beam caused by temperature variations.
