    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) includes a semiconductor substrate with a main bus waveguide disposed within the substrate. Two or more ring lasers are disposed within the substrate and are optically coupled to the main bus waveguide. The ring lasers have a wavelength control mechanism allowing change of a lasers emitted wavelength. A wavelength selective filter is optically coupled to the bus waveguide. A control circuit is electronically coupled to each wavelength control mechanism, and the wavelength selective filter. The control circuit in conjunction with the selective filter allows monitoring of a ring laser's wavelength on the main bus waveguide. Based on a determined wavelength, the control circuit may change a ring laser wavelength to a desired wavelength to achieve a desired wavelength spacing for each of the ring lasers. The PIC may be integrated as a coarse wave-length division multiplexing (CWDM) transmit module.

    Abstract: A multilayer device includes a substrate and a first layer disposed on the substrate. A trench extends through one or both of the substrate and the first layer. The trench has a first sidewall spaced apart from a second sidewall, each sidewall extending from an upper surface of the substrate to a lower surface of the first layer. An optically active region is disposed on the first layer overlying the trench, such that at least a portion of the optically active region is located within a set of lines corresponding to the sidewalls of the trench.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to optical driver circuits. In some of the disclosed examples, an optical driver circuit includes a pre-driver circuit and a main driver circuit. The pre-driver circuit may include a pattern generator and at least one serializer to generate a main modulation signal and an inverted delayed modulation signal. The main driver circuit may include a level controller to control amplitudes of pre-emphasis on rising and falling edges of a modulation signal output and an equalization controller to transition the modulation signal output from the pre-emphasis amplitudes to main modulation amplitudes using the inverted delayed modulation signal.
