    Abstract: In one example, a device includes a bus waveguide to carry a light of a carrier wavelength, a first ring waveguide with a first modulator, a first heater to adjust a resonance wavelength of the first ring waveguide, and a second ring waveguide with a second modulator. The first ring waveguide and the second ring waveguide are coupled to the bus waveguide and are to modulate the light of the carrier wavelength to impart one of at least four optical power levels to the light. In another example, a device includes, a bus waveguide, a first ring waveguide with a first modulator, and a second ring waveguide with a second modulator. The first ring waveguide and the second ring waveguide are coupled to the bus waveguide and are to modulate a light of a carrier wavelength to impart one of at least four optical power levels to the light.

    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit package includes two arrays or sets of integrated comb laser modules that are bonded to a silicon interposer. Each comb laser of an array has a common or overlapping spectral range, with each laser in the array being optically coupled to a local optical bus. The effective spectral range of the lasers in each array are different, or distinct, as to each array. An optical coupler is disposed within the silicon interposer and is optically coupled to each of the local optical buses. An ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) is bonded to the silicon interposer and provides control and operation of the comb laser modules.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for performing link training to enable optical pass-through (OPT) capabilities of a network node. OPT capabilities may refer to on-chip wavelength routing for a multi-wavelength data input, whereby an intermediate node detects wavelengths that are intended for OPT and transparently passes the wavelengths through to downstream nodes. When executed at an intermediate network node, an OPT link training algorithm can result in the creation of one or more wavelength routing maps that associate wavelengths received on particular inputs to the node with particular outputs of the node. An intermediate node may generate a respective wavelength routing map for each transmit node from which it receives input data. The wavelength routing maps may together implement OPT capabilities at the intermediate node as each wavelength routing map may indicate the manner in which wavelengths are passed through the intermediate node for a given transmit node.

    Abstract: An optical transceiver module includes an optical transceiver and a controller. The optical transceiver has a ring filter configured to transmit optical signals from or receive optical signals for the optical transceiver module. The controller is configured to: detect a carrier frequency at the optical transceiver; detect a data signal frequency of data at the optical transceiver; determine a bit error rate of the data; and in response to determining that the bit error rate of the data is greater than a threshold, periodically vary a central wavelength of the ring filter at a frequency at least three orders slower than the data signal frequency.

    Abstract: A method for simulating a photodetector behavior includes: receiving an input waveform for an photodetector; receiving an input optical power and a reverse bias voltage for the photodetector; searching for, in a lookup-table library, model parameters for a photodetector behavior model based on the input optical power and the reverse bias voltage; and outputting a second waveform from the photodetector behavior model, where the second waveform is indicative of an electrical response of the photodetector receiving the input waveform.
