Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A wavelength converter assembly includes a substrate. An epitaxial structure is formed on the substrate with areas of different optical properties. A laser and a photodetector are formed in the epitaxial structure. The photodetector generates a first electrical signal in response to an optical signal. A conditioning circuit is coupled to the laser and the photodetector. The conditioning circuit receives the first electrical signal and provides a second electrical signal to the laser to modulate its optical output.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 18, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 18, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 18, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
