    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to multi-wavelength laser generator may produce light with a frequency comb having equally spaced frequency lines. In various embodiments, the laser generator includes first, a semiconductor gain element is used to provide gain to the laser being generated. Second, a ring resonator filter, or ring filter, is used to select the wavelength comb spacing. Third, a narrow-band DBR or narrow-band mirror is used to select the number of wavelengths that lase. Fourth, a wide-band or narrow-band mirror is used to provide optical feedback and to form the optical cavity. Fifth, a phase tuner section is used to align the cavity modes with the ring resonances (i.e. the ring filter modes) in order to reduce or minimize the modal loss. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to photonic integrated circuits with an on-chip optical isolator. A photonic transmitter chip may include a laser and an on-chip isolator optically coupled with the laser that includes an optical waveguide having a section coupled with a magneto-optic liquid phase epitaxy grown garnet film. In some embodiments, a cladding may be coupled with the garnet film, the on-chip isolator may be arranged in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration, the waveguide may include one or more polarization rotators, and/or the garnet film may be formed of a material from a rare-earth garnet family. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for a photonic apparatus with a photodetector with bias control to provide substantially constant responsivity. The apparatus includes a first photodetector, to receive an optical input and provide a corresponding electrical output; a second photodetector coupled with the first photodetector, wherein the second photodetector is free from receipt of the optical input; and circuitry coupled with the first and second photodetectors, to generate a bias voltage, based at least in part on a dark current generated by the second photodetector in an absence of the optical input, and provide the generated bias voltage to the first photodetector. The first photodetector is to provide a substantially constant ratio of the electrical output to optical input in response to the provision of the generated bias voltage. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for an optical coupler. In some embodiments, the device may include an optical waveguide to transmit light input from a light source. The optical waveguide may include a semiconductor layer, having a trench with one facet that comprises an edge formed under an approximately 45 degree angle and another facet formed substantially normal to the semiconductor layer. The edge may interface with another medium to form a mirror to receive inputted light and reflect received light substantially perpendicularly to propagate the received light. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
