    Abstract: Aspects described herein include an optical apparatus comprising an input port configured to receive an optical signal comprising a plurality of wavelengths, and a plurality of output ports. Each output port is configured to output a respective wavelength of the plurality of wavelengths. The optical apparatus further comprises a first plurality of two-mode Bragg gratings in a cascaded arrangement. Each grating of the first plurality of two-mode Bragg gratings is configured to reflect a respective wavelength of the plurality of wavelengths toward a respective output port of the plurality of output ports, and transmit any remaining wavelengths of the plurality of wavelengths.

    Abstract: Process margin relaxation is provided in relation to a compensated-for process via a first optical device, fabricated to satisfy an operational specification when a compensated-for process is within a first tolerance range; a second optical device, fabricated to satisfy the operational specification when the compensated-for process is within second tolerance range, different than the first tolerance range; a first optical switch connected to an input and configured to output an optical signal received from the input to one of the first optical device and the second optical device; and a second optical switch configured to combine outputs from the first optical device and the second optical device.

    Abstract: An optical device is disclosed, including a phase delay, a first adiabatic coupler adapted to receive an input signal and adapted to be optically coupled to an input of the phase delay, and a second adiabatic coupler adapted to be optically coupled to an output of the phase delay. The second adiabatic coupler includes a first waveguide including a first portion optically coupled to the first output and including a first width, and a second waveguide including a second portion optically coupled to the second output and comprising a second width that is approximately equal to the first width.

    Abstract: Aspects described herein include a mode multiplexer comprising a first optical waveguide extending between a first port and a second port. A first input mode of an optical signal entering the first port is propagated through the first optical waveguide to the second port. The mode multiplexer further comprises a second optical waveguide configured to evanescently couple with a coupling section of the first optical waveguide. A second input mode of the optical signal entering the first port is propagated through the second optical waveguide to a third port. The first optical waveguide further defines a filtering section between the coupling section and the second port, the filtering section configured to filter the second input mode.
