Abstract: A method includes receiving a mode control signal indicative of a current-mode or a voltage-mode. When the mode control signal is indicative of the voltage-mode, the method includes connecting a voltage-mode bias sub-circuit to an anode of a reflector-section diode and applying an adjustable bias voltage to bias a diode voltage at the anode of the reflector-section diode. The reflector-section diode is disposed on a shared substrate of a tunable laser. When the mode control signal is indicative of the current-mode, the method includes connecting a current-mode bias sub-circuit to the anode of the reflector-section diode and delivering an adjustable bias current to the anode of the reflector-section diode.

Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging method comprises determining, by a first device, that the first device is within proximity of a second device. Responsive to the determination, the first device negotiates a value to use as a UWB session key for securing UWB communications with the second device. The negotiation occurs via a communication protocol different from a UWB communication protocol. The first device controls a UWB subsystem therein to encrypt information communicated via the UWB subsystem based on the negotiated value of the UWB session key instead of a default value for the UWB session key that is specified in the UWB communication protocol. The information facilitates determining the distance between the first device and the second device.

Abstract: A method (600) for tuning a tunable laser (310) includes delivering a bias current (IDBR) to an anode of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) section diode (D2) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser and receiving a burst mode signal (440) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes offsetting the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode by one of sourcing a push current with the bias current to the anode of the DBR section diode or sinking a pull current away from the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state, the method also includes ceasing any offsetting of the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode.

Abstract: A method (900) includes a gain current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (D0) disposed on a shared substrate of a tunable laser (310), delivering a modulation signal to an anode of an Electro-absorption section diode (D2) disposed on the shared substrate of the tunable laser, and receiving a burst mode signal (330) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes sinking a sink current (ISINK) away from the gain current at the anode of the gain-section diode. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-on state from the burst-off state, the method includes ceasing the sinking of the sink current away from the gain current and delivering an overshoot current (IOVER) to the anode of the gain-section diode.

Abstract: A method (700) of biasing a tunable laser (310) during burst-on and burst-off states includes receiving a burst mode signal (514) indicative of the burst-on state or the burst-off state and when the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state: delivering a first bias current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (590a) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser; and delivering a second bias current (IPH) to an anode of phase-section diode (590b) disposed on the shared substrate. The second bias current is less than the first bias current. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-off state, the method also includes delivering the first bias current to the anode of the gain-section diode; and delivering the second bias current to the anode of the phase-section diode wherein the first bias current is less than the second bias current.

Abstract: A method for in-field calibration of a laser transmitter includes receiving, at an optical network unit (ONU), a downstream connection from an optical line terminal (OLT) where the ONU includes a Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser. The method further includes attempting to establish an upstream connection between the ONU and the OLT. When the ONU establishes the upstream connection to the OLT, the method also includes receiving, at the ONU, a message to initiate calibration of the ONU where the message is generated to indicate that the DBR laser is operating outside an operational state. The method further includes tuning, by the ONU, the DBR laser to the operational state by adjusting an injection current for the DBR laser.

Abstract: A remote node includes a first node input, a second node input, and an optical switch. The optical switch includes a first switch input optically coupled to the first node input, a second switch input optically coupled to the second node input, a first switch output switchably coupled to the first switch input or the second switch input, and a second switch output switchably coupled to the first switch input or the second switch input. The remote node includes a photodiode optically coupled to the second switch output, and a capacitor electrically coupled to the photodiode and the optical switch. When the first switch input is switchably coupled to the first switch output, the second switch input is switchably coupled to the second switch output. Light received by the second switch input passes out the second switch output to the photodiode. The photodiode charges the capacitor to a threshold charge.
