    Abstract: A hybrid optical transceiver is provided. An optical component disposed on a substrate, the optical component comprising a transmitter section and a receiver section. Transmitter section comprises a plurality of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays communicatively coupled to a plurality of multiplexers, configured to launch multiplexed optical signals into the lowest order mode group of a multimode fiber or the lowest order mode of a single mode fiber. Receiver section comprises a photodetector array comprising a plurality of optical detectors, and configured to receive demultiplexed optical signals of unknown polarization without routing waveguides. In various embodiments, each section being independently removable from a substrate.

    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a data center transmission system includes a VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) that lases in a single spatial mode with a side mode suppression ratio of at least 25 dB, where the VCSEL is formed on a substrate and lases at a wavelength transparent to the substrate, and further where an output of the VCSEL exits through the substrate. Also, the VCSEL is directly modulated. The system further includes an optical fiber having a first end to receive the output of the VCSEL for propagation along the optical fiber. The optical fiber supports a single spatial mode without supporting higher order spatial modes over a range of wavelengths between 1260 nm and 1360 nm. The system also includes a receiver to receive the directly modulated output of the VCSEL after propagation through the optical fiber.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to polarization diversity optical interface assemblies including a single mode optical fiber and first and second grating couplers disposed on a substrate. The first and second grating couplers are coupled to first and second waveguides, respectively. The assemblies further includes an optical connector to couple light between the single mode optical fiber and each of the first and second grating couplers. The optical connector includes a ferrule and a walk-off crystal. The ferrule is coupled to a portion of the single mode optical fiber. The walk-off crystal is configured to spatially separate the light into first and second orthogonal polarization modes prior to passing through the respective first and second grating couplers and/or combine the first and second polarization modes of the light prior to passing through the single mode optical fiber.
