Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating an optical Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-level (PAM-4) signal from bandwidth-limited duobinary electrical signals in a Mach-Zehnder modulator. An example system includes an MZM structure that comprises a first waveguide interferometer arm structure associated with a first semiconductor device and a second waveguide interferometer arm structure associated with a second semiconductor device. A polybinary electrical signal is applied to or between the first semiconductor device and the second semiconductor device to convert an input optical signal provided to the MZM structure into an optical PAM-4 signal.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a substrate and first thin film layers disposed on the substrate and patterned to define a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), which is configured to emit optical radiation along an optical axis perpendicular to the substrate. Second thin film layers are disposed over the first thin film layers and are patterned to define an optical modulator in which the optical radiation propagates in a direction parallel to the substrate, and an optical coupler configured to couple the optical radiation from the VCSEL into the optical modulator.

Abstract: A routing controller (30) includes an interface (68) and multiple processors (60). The interface is configured to receive a permutation (76) defining requested interconnections between N input ports and N output ports of a Benes network (24). The Benes network includes multiple 2-by-2 switches (42), and is reducible in a plurality of nested subnetworks associated with respective nesting levels, down to irreducible subnetworks including a single 2-by-2 switch. The multiple processors are configured to collectively determine a setting of the 2-by-2 switches that implements the received permutation, including determining sub-settings for two or more subnetworks of a given nesting level in parallel, and to configure the multiple 2-by-2 switches of the Benes network in accordance with the determined setting.

Abstract: A photonics frequency comb generator includes two integrated dies: an indium phosphide die laser of a first wavelength is grown on from, and a silicon photonics die having a microring resonator connected to the laser and frequency modulators. The microring resonator converts the first wavelength into a number of second wavelengths. One type of the microring resonator is a hybrid non-linear optical wavelength generator, comprising non-silicon materials, such as SiC or SiGe built on silicon to yield a non-linear wavelength generation. The second wavelengths are generated by adjusting the ring's geometric size and a distance between the ring and the traverse waveguide. Another type of microring resonator splits the first wavelength into a plurality of second wavelengths and transmits the multiple second wavelengths to filters and modulators, and each selects and modulates one of the second wavelengths in a one-to-one relationship. This frequency comb generator has applications in WDM/CWDM and multi-chip modules in high speed transceivers.
