    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a system and method used for time-of-flight lidar applications. Such systems and methods include a laser and pulse clipper which produces a shuttering effect to reduce the instantaneous output power from the pulse clipper. Accordingly the output from the pulse clipper is more suitable for time-of-flight lidar applications than that initially produced by the laser. This can allow for lasers which may otherwise exceed eye safety limits to be used for time-of-flight lidar applications without exceeding the eye safety limits.

    Abstract: A coherent LIDAR method and apparatus are provided, in which two optical signals having a first frequency difference are reflected by an object. A difference in frequency between the corresponding received and reflected signals is determined. The frequency difference between the reflected signals differs from the first frequency difference due to Doppler effects. The object velocity is determined based on a comparison between the first frequency difference and the frequency difference in the reflected signals. The emitted signals can be produced by modulating a common light source. The reflected signals are inherently mixed at the receiver and further processed. Distance to the object can be determined by pulsing the emitted signals and measuring a time of flight by detecting corresponding pulse edges in the reflected signals, or by using phase sweeping. The emitter can be implemented using an optical phased array.

    Abstract: An optical coupling apparatus for coupling an optical fiber to a photonic chip is described. The apparatus includes a collimating microlens for collimating light from the optical fiber; a polarization splitting beam displacer for separating the light collimated by the collimating microlens into orthogonally polarized X and Y component beams; at least one focusing microlens for directing the X and Y component beams separately onto the photonic chip; and first and second surface grating couplers (SGCs) orthogonally disposed on the photonic chip and configured for operation in a same polarization state, for coupling the X and Y component beams, respectively, to the photonic chip.

    Abstract: An optical performance monitor comprises a first stage configured to receive a multiplexed optical signal. The first stage is tunable over a period. The first stage periodically filters the multiplexed optical signal over an optical channel to produce a fine filtered optical signal. A second stage is coupled to the first stage and has a second-stage transfer function. The second stage receives the fine filtered optical signal and produces one or a plurality of interfered optical signal pairs. A third stage is coupled to the second stage and has a third-stage transfer function. The third stage receives the optical signal pairs and demultiplexes the optical signal pairs to produce a plurality of demultiplexed optical signals. The combination of the second-stage transfer function and the third-stage transfer function is flatter over the optical channel than the third-stage transfer function.
