    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a system includes a loop waveguide; and a grating coupler formed on the loop waveguide to couple light impinging on the grating coupler having a first polarization into the loop waveguide in a first direction, and to couple light having a second polarization, orthogonal to the first polarization, into the loop waveguide in a second direction. The system also includes a ring resonator positioned near the loop waveguide tuned to have a resonant wavelength at a first wavelength to couple light at the first wavelength out of the loop waveguide into the ring resonator. An output waveguide positioned near the ring resonator couples light out of the ring resonator into the output waveguide; and a photodetector detects light propagating out of a first end and a second end of the output waveguide.

    Abstract: Processes and apparatuses described herein reduce the manufacturing time, the cost of parts, and the cost of assembly per laser for photonic interconnects incorporated into computing systems. An output side of a laser assembly is placed against an input side of a silicon interposer (SiP) such that each pad in a plurality of pads positioned on the output side of the laser assembly is in contact with a respective solder bump that is also in contact with a corresponding pad positioned on the input side of the SiP. The laser assembly is configured to emit laser light from the output side into an input grating of the SiP. The solder bumps are heated to a liquid phase. Capillary forces of the solder bumps realign the laser assembly and the SiP while the solder bumps are in the liquid phase. The solder bumps are then allowed to cool.

    Abstract: An example system includes an optical modulator and a multiplexing controller. The modulator includes a data bus for receiving at least one data signal, a plurality of multiplexers and a plurality of modulating segments. Each multiplexer is coupled to the data bus to receive at least one data signal and to output a multiplexed signal. Each modulating segment may receive the multiplexed signal from one of the plurality of multiplexers and modulate the multiplexed signal using an optical input. The multiplexing controller may be in communication with the plurality of multiplexers and may configure each of the plurality of multiplexers in accordance with a selected modulation type.

    Abstract: One example of a system includes an optical modulator, a push-pull driver, and a compensation circuit. The optical modulator has a nonlinear capacitance. The push-pull driver is electrically coupled across the optical modulator. The push-pull driver charges the capacitance in response to a logic ‘1’ of a level-shifted differential signal and discharges the capacitance in response to a logic ‘0’ of the level-shifted differential signal. The compensation circuit increases the speed of the discharge of the capacitance in response to the level-shifted differential signal transitioning from a logic ‘1’ to a logic ‘0’.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for devices and methods for implementing an optical neural network (ONN) by leveraging resonator structures, such on micro-ring resonators (MRRs). Examples include unit cells configured to perform a linear transformation on optical signals. Each unit cell comprises a plurality of signal mixing components optically coupled to between adjacent waveguides, where each signal mixing component corresponds to a distinct wavelength and is configured to mix optical signals on the adjacent waveguides at the distinct wavelength. Each unit cell also includes a plurality of phase tuning components each corresponding to a distinct wavelength and configured to adjust a phase of a mixed optical signal at the distinct wavelength.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method for synchronizing a wavelength of light in an optical device. In some examples, a heater voltage may be predicted for a heater disposed adjacent to the optical device in a photonic chip. The predicted heater voltage may be applied to the heater to cause a change in the wavelength of the light inside the optical device. In response to applying the heater voltage, an optical power inside the optical device may be measured. Further, a check may be performed to determine whether the measured optical power is a peak optical power. If it is determined that measured optical power is the peak optical power, the application of the predicted heater voltage to the heater may be continued.
