    Abstract: An apparatus (2) can comprise an optical slab (4) comprising a rigid substrate of substantially transmissive material. The apparatus (2) can also comprise a WDM multiplexer (6) to receive and combine a plurality of optical signals (14, 16 and 20) at different wavelengths to form a combined optical signal (24) in the optical slab (4) having an aggregate power. The apparatus can further comprise a broadcaster (28) to distribute the combined optical signal (24) from the optical slab (4) to each of a plurality of different optical receivers (30, 32 and 34) with a fraction of the aggregate power of the combined optical signal (24).

    Abstract: Coupling modulation of an optical resonator employs a variable modal index to provide modulation of optical signal coupling. A coupling-modulated optical resonator includes an optical resonator having a coupled portion and a bus waveguide having a modulation section adjacent to and coextensive with and separated by a gap from the coupled portion. The modulation section is to modulate coupling of an optical signal between the optical resonator and the bus waveguide according to a variable difference between a modal index of the bus waveguide modulation section and a modal index of the optical resonator coupled portion.
