Abstract

A filter for use with an array of ultra-small resonant structures that are producing encoded EMR wherein the filter is designed to either reflect encoded EMR beams or to permit certain frequencies to pass there through so that the encoded EMR beam and its encoded data can be transmitted out of the device and to another receiver where the data can be used.

Claims (15)

1. A filter for use with chips on which encoded electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is being produced by at least one ultra-small resonant structure mounted on the chip comprising: a substrate, an ultra-small resonant structure transmitter mounted to the substrate, the ultra small resonant structure emitting encoded EMR when a charged partical beam passes thereby but does not touch the ultra small resonant structure and a cover mounted there above, wherein the cover is formed to reflect a first set of selected frequencies of the encoded EMR and to permit a second set of selected frequencies to pass there through.

2. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the reflected EMR beams are used in an intra-chip manner.

3. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the reflected EMR beams are used in an inter-chip manner.

4. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the reflected EMR beams are directed to an inter-chip receiver.

5. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the encoded EMR beams pass through the filter and are directed to a receiver located beyond the boundary of the chip.

6. The filter as in claim 5 wherein the beam is received by an optical receiver.

7. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the encoded EMR beam is reflected and thereafter passes to an inter-chip receiver.

8. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the first set of frequencies includes visible light.

9. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the second set of frequencies includes infra red light.

10. The filter as in claim 1 wherein the encoded EMR beam is reflected and thereafter passes through the substrate to an inter-chip receiver.

11. Apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

an ultra-small resonant structure transmitter formed on the substrate emitting encoded electromagnetic radiation (EMR) when a charged partical beam passes thereby but does not touch the ultra small resonant structure; and

a filter cover mounted above the transmitter,

wherein the filter cover is formed to reflect a first set of selected frequencies of the encoded EMR and to permit a second set of selected frequencies to pass there through.
