    Abstract: A LIDAR optical unit includes a photonic-integrated-circuit (PIC) affixed to a carrier. The PIC includes an input coupler and an array of output couplers, with a switchable optical network connecting the input coupler to different selected ones of the array of output couplers. A laser source is mounted to the PIC adjacent the input coupler such that laser light generated by the laser source is injected into the input coupler. An optical stack is mounted to the PIC adjacent the array of output couplers to receive laser light extracted from the switchable optical network by the array of output couplers. The optical stack includes an array of microlenses positioned so that a bottom surface thereof is mounted to the PIC, and an array of microprisms is stacked on the array of microlenses so that a bottom surface thereof is mounted to a top surface of the array of microlenses.

    Abstract: An optical demultiplexer includes an interleaver with at least four ports including a first port adapted to receive the sum of two optical signals A and B, a second port and a third port respectively for signals A and B, and a fourth port. The optical demultiplexer further includes an optical component coupled t at least one of the two ports for signals A and B and configured to split the optical signal to be outputted into a weak intensity optical signal and a strong intensity optical signal.

    Abstract: An intra-board chip-to-chip optical communications system has a high bit rate and high data throughput based on the use of a silicon photonic interposer. The system includes a multi-substrate electro-optical structure for communications with CMOS and/or BiCMOS IC chips of a PCB. The structure includes a multi-chip module primary substrate mounted over the supporting PCB. The multi-chip module primary substrate implements high frequency electrical interconnections between transceiver circuit chips, mounted on the silicon photonic interposer, and the IC chips.
