    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a system includes a loop waveguide; and a grating coupler formed on the loop waveguide to couple light impinging on the grating coupler having a first polarization into the loop waveguide in a first direction, and to couple light having a second polarization, orthogonal to the first polarization, into the loop waveguide in a second direction. The system also includes a ring resonator positioned near the loop waveguide tuned to have a resonant wavelength at a first wavelength to couple light at the first wavelength out of the loop waveguide into the ring resonator. An output waveguide positioned near the ring resonator couples light out of the ring resonator into the output waveguide; and a photodetector detects light propagating out of a first end and a second end of the output waveguide.

    Abstract: An apparatus (2) can comprise an optical slab (4) comprising a rigid substrate of substantially transmissive material. The apparatus (2) can also comprise a WDM multiplexer (6) to receive and combine a plurality of optical signals (14, 16 and 20) at different wavelengths to form a combined optical signal (24) in the optical slab (4) having an aggregate power. The apparatus can further comprise a broadcaster (28) to distribute the combined optical signal (24) from the optical slab (4) to each of a plurality of different optical receivers (30, 32 and 34) with a fraction of the aggregate power of the combined optical signal (24).

    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a system includes an input waveguide, where a first end of the input waveguide is coupled to a light-emitting optical transmitter to allow the emitted light to enter the input waveguide, and a first ring resonator tunable to be resonant at a first resonant wavelength, wherein the first ring resonator is positioned near the input waveguide to couple a light at the first resonant wavelength from the input waveguide to the first ring resonator. The system also has a bus waveguide positioned to couple the light at the first resonant wavelength in the first ring resonator to the bus waveguide, and a mechanism to wavelength-tune the first ring resonator to a particular wavelength.
