    摘要: Wavefront synthesizers and optical switches implemented with wavefront synthesizers are disclosed. In one aspect, a wavefront synthesizer includes a waveguide tree composed a root waveguide that branches into at least two terminus waveguides. The root waveguide is integrated with a source to inject light into the waveguide tree via the root waveguide. The synthesizer includes output couplers located at the ends of the terminus waveguides. Each output coupler outputs a wavefront associated with a portion of the light injected with at least two of the wavefronts overlapping to form at least one beam of light via constructive interference. The synthesizer also includes microring resonators disposed adjacent to the terminus waveguides. Each microring is independently tunable to apply a phase shift in the wavefront output from one of the output couplers to steer the direction of the beam and the at least two wavefronts.

    摘要: An optical coupling system and method of fabrication are included. The optical coupling system includes a substrate layer and an optical waveguide material overlying the substrate layer. The optical waveguide material can include a grating. The system also includes a cover material overlying the optical waveguide material to couple an optical signal to the optical waveguide material via the grating at a coupling angle. Approximately zero energy of the coupled optical signal is lost in the substrate layer due to a combination of the coupling angle and a difference in refractive indices between the cover material and the substrate layer.

The second processor element package (1240) includes a substrate (1241) with an integrated circuit (240), a sub-wavelength grating optical coupler (1242), and an electrical coupler (1243) coupled to the electrical link (1221) of the circuit board (1220). The sub-wavelength grating optical coupler (1232) of the first processor element package (1230), the optical link (1211) of the circuit board (1220), and the sub-wavelength grating optical coupler (1242) of the second processor element package (1240) collectively define an optical communications path (1270) between the substrate (1231) of the first processor element package (1230) and the substrate (1241) of the second processor element package (1240).
