    Abstract: A low-power coherent receiver is enabled with enhanced performance for intra-datacenter reach optical interconnection applications using several techniques. The first is a coherent skew adjustment technique which enables lower-power baud-rate ADC sampling and baud-rate-spaced coherent equalization. The second is a real-valued or mixed-valued low-power coherent equalization technique, where a single-tap real-valued 4×4 MIMO equalizer plus four real-valued or two mixed-valued single-input single-out (SISO) equalizers are used for simultaneous polarization recovery, in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) phase error correction, and bandwidth equalization. The third is a power-efficient dual-DSP architecture to enhance coherent receiver performance, in which a complementary low-speed coherent DSP is introduced for optimal I/Q phase error correction and constellation decision parameters determination through more sophisticated algorithms that are too power hungry to be implemented in the primary high-speed DSP.

    Abstract: The technology generally relates to determining a status of an optical channel between two components. For example, the components may be connected via an optical link including a plurality of optical channels. A first portion of the optical channels may be in use such that a second portion of the optical channels may be redundant channels. The component may include a test generator that transmits and receives a data pattern over each channel. The test generator may determine, based on the received data pattern, a status of each of the channels. If the status of a given channel is a failure status, the component may divert data for the given channel to a redundant channel.

    Abstract: Coherent optical communications technology for recovery of 1D and 2D formatted optical signals. For example, 1D or 2D formatted signals that travel through fiber optic media may be recovered by separating the light into X- and Y-polarization components, rotating one polarization component (e.g., Y-component) into the polarization space of the other component (e.g., Y-component into the X-polarization space), delaying the rotated component enough to avoid destructive interference and combining the delayed component with the undelayed component to form a folded optical signal, which may then be processed as a X-polarized signal.
