    摘要: An optical device may include a slab, a first waveguide extending from a first portion of the slab to supply multiple first optical signals to the first portion of the slab, multiple second waveguides coupled to a second portion and to a third portion of the slab. The optical device may include multiple third waveguides provided extending from a fourth portion of the slab to direct a corresponding one of the multiple first optical signals away from the slab, a fourth waveguide extending from the fourth portion of the slab to supply multiple second optical signals to the fourth portion of the slab, and multiple fifth waveguides extending from the first portion of the slab to direct a corresponding one of the multiple second optical signals away from the slab. The optical device may include circuits to receive the first optical signals, the second optical signals, and local oscillator signals.

    摘要: A high capacity optical transmitter implemented on a photonic integrated circuit chip comprises a single light source which supplies a continuous wave having a particular wavelength to a plurality of modulators to form modulated optical information signals. A phase shifter is coupled to at least one of the modulators and is used to shift the phase of the corresponding modulated optical information signal associated with a particular modulator. A polarization beam combiner receives each of the modulated optical information signals from the modulators and the modulated optical information signal from the phase shifter and combines each of these signals to form a polarization multiplexed differential quadrature phase-shift keying signal. The light source, the plurality of modulators, the phase shifter and the polarization beam combiner are all integrated on the chip.

    摘要: A photonic integrated circuit that includes a plurality of active and passive components on a substrate where one of the components is an optical combiner/decombiner having at least one free space coupler region and a plurality of longitudinal ridge waveguides each extending in the circuit from a first region of the waveguide and coupled at a second region of the waveguide at the free space coupler region. A first dielectric layer formed over the ridge waveguides and the free space coupler region. The first dielectric layer monotonically increases in cross-sectional thickness from the waveguide first region to the second region to reduce signal insertion losses in transitioning from the ridge waveguides to the free space coupler region. The first dielectric layer may be covered with a second passivation layer. The first dielectric layer may be SiOx, SiNx or SixONy and the second passivation layer may be BCB, ZnS or ZnSe.
