    Abstract: An optical modulator apparatus may include a plurality of segment drivers, each segment driver having a unique offset voltage and driving but a portion or a segment of an electro-optical modulator. A modulating electrical signal may be applied to the segment drivers via a plurality of electrical delays. Parameters of the segment drivers may be selected so as to approximate a pre-defined transfer function, which may include a linear or a non-linear transfer function.

    Abstract: An architecture for a fiber optic communication system that uses only two levels of switches, Tier 1 and Tier 3, is described. The architecture allows one to omit the conventional Top of Rack switch level and the conventional Tier 2 switch level while maintaining performance and throughput. The cost to construct and install the improved switch architecture is lower than the cost of the conventional architecture. There are also described a number of transceivers that are suitable for use in the architecture disclosed. The transceivers employ silicon PIC chips that include high contrast silicon waveguides ion the chip and that connect to various configurations of optical fibers. The transceivers provide enhanced switching capacity with fewer devices.

    Abstract: A bent taper is provided that includes one or more waveguide bends, at least one of which has a tapering waveguide width along at least a portion thereof. In one embodiment, the bent taper is an S-shaped bent taper that is configured as a TE0-TE1 mode convertor. Such a bent taper can be combined with a linear bi-layer taper configured as a TM0-TE1 mode converter to form a TM0-TE0 polarization rotator.

    Abstract: An optical device that includes means for thermal stabilization and control is described. The optical device can be a ring resonator, or another device that requires accurate control of the phase of the optical signal. In an example involving an optical resonator, a thermal stabilization system includes a temperature sensor, a control circuit, and a heater local to the resonator. The temperature sensor can be a bandgap temperature sensor formed of a pair of matched p/n junctions biased in operation at different junction currents.
