    Abstract: A high speed silicon-based optical modulator with control of the dopant profiles in the body and gate regions of the device reduces the series resistance of the structure without incurring substantial optical power loss. That is, the use of increased dopant values in areas beyond the active region will allow for the series resistance to be reduced (and thus increase the modulating speed of the device) without incurring too large a penalty in signal loss. The dopant profiles within the gate and body regions are tailored to exhibit an intermediate value between the high dopant concentration in the contact areas and the low dopant concentration in the carrier integration window area.

    Abstract: A planar, waveguide-based silicon Schottky barrier photodetector includes a third terminal in the form of a field plate to improve the responsivity of the detector. Preferably, a silicide used for the detection region is formed during a processing step where other silicide contact regions are being formed. The field plate is preferably formed as part of the first or second layer of CMOS metallization and is controlled by an applied voltage to modify the electric field in the vicinity of the detector's silicide layer. By modifying the electric field, the responsivity of the device is "tuned" so as to adjust the momentum of "hot" carriers (electrons or holes, depending on the conductivity of the silicon) with respect to the Schottky barrier of the device. The applied potential functions to align with the direction of momentum of the "hot" carriers in the preferred direction "normal" to the silicon-silicide interface, allowing for an increased number to move over the Schottky barrier and add to the generated photocurrent.

    Abstract: An optical interconnection arrangement for use in high data applications is presented that eliminates the need for extensive serialization/de-serialization (SERDES) functionality by utilizing pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) techniques to represent the data in the optical domain while utilizing a separate channel for transmitting an optical clock signal, eliminating the need for clock recovery circuitry on the receive end of the arrangement.

    Abstract: An HDMI interconnect arrangement is presented that performs a pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) conversion of the TMDS audio/video signals in order to simultaneously transmit all three channels over a single optical fiber. The set of three audio/video TMDS channels is applied as an input to a PAM-8 optical modulator, which functions to encode the set of three channels onto an optically-modulated output signal. The modulated optical signal is thereafter coupled into an optical fiber within an active HDMI cable and transmitted to an HDMI receiver (sink). The TMDS CLK signal is not included in this conversion into the optical domain, but remains as a separate electrical signal to be transmitted along a copper signal path within the active HDMI cable.
