    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving an optical signal from an optical fiber, including: coupling via an optical coupler the optical signal from an optical fiber into first and second waveguides, wherein the optical signal comprises TE and TM polarized optical signals and the optical coupler couples the TE polarized optical signal into the first waveguide and the TM polarized optical signal into the second waveguide; equalizing the TE and TM polarized optical signals from the coupler to equalize optical power levels of the TE and TM polarized optical signals; optically combining the equalized TE and TM polarized optical signals; and transmitting the combined optical signal to a photodetector.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to optical systems. In particular, implementations herein relate to an optical system including an optical transmitter configured to transmit optical signals. The optical transmitter includes a first optical source and a second optical source coupled to the first optical source and injection seeded by the first optical source. The optical transmitter further includes an output coupler, the second optical source coupled to the optical coupler via an output waveguide and configured to emit light having multiple different wavelengths through the output waveguide. In some implementations, the second optical source is self-injection seeded.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an avalanche photodiode (APD) and an optical receiver including the APD. The APD may include a substrate and a photon absorption region disposed on the substrate. The substrate may include a charge carrier acceleration region under the photon absorption region; a charge region adjacent to the charge carrier acceleration region; and a charge carrier multiplication region adjacent to the charge region. The charge carrier acceleration region, the charge region, and the charge carrier multiplication region are laterally formed in the substrate. When a biasing voltage is applied to the optoelectronic device, photon-generated free charge carriers may be generated in the photon absorption region and are diffused into the charge carrier acceleration region. The charge carrier acceleration region is configured to accelerate the photon-generated free charge carriers prior to the photon-generated free charge carriers entering into the charge region and undergoing impact ionization in the charge carrier multiplication region.
