Novel optical cover for optical chip
A cover for use together with a transmitter of an encoded light or EMR beam for intercepting and re-directing the beam away from the transmitter toward a receiver, an optical device or another solid state device whereby data encoded on the encoded light or EMR beam can be transmitted out of the transmitter to a receiver and the data encoded thereon can be used or retransmitted.
1 . A cover for a chip comprising at least one reflective surface for re-directing an encoded light or EMR beam emitted by an ultra-small resonant structure to another location on or off the chip on which the encoded light or EMR beam has been created.
2 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein the cover comprises the bottom of another chip mounted there above.
3 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein the transmitter is mounted on the chip.
4 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein at least one reflective surface is formed as a separate structure on the bottom of the cover.
5 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein a plurality of reflective surfaces are formed on the bottom of the cove for re-directing a plurality of encoded light or EMR beams.
6 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein the reflective surface re-directs encoded light or EMR beam onto a receiver mounted on a device in the path of the re-directed beam.
7 . The cover according to claim 6 wherein the device comprises a chip.
8 . The cover according to claim 1 wherein the at least one reflective surface re-direct the beam toward a receiving device.
9 . The cover according to claim 8 wherein the receiving device comprises an optical device.
10 . The cover according to claim 8 wherein the receiving device comprises another solid state device.
