Abstract: Configurations for optical waveguide crossings are described. In one exemplary implementation, an optical chip includes waveguides integrated on the optical chip. The waveguides have varied widths dependent upon how many waveguides each of the waveguides cross with respect to each other. In another exemplary implementation, voids are inserted between waveguides in the vicinity of waveguide crossings of an optical device. The voids are configured to reduce optical losses in waveguides that have more waveguide crossing while simultaneously increasing optical losses in waveguides that have fewer waveguide crossings. Accordingly, the overall optical losses between the waveguides are generally equalized with respect to each other.

Abstract: An optical device includes an input/output optical coupler, a waveguide and a waveguide fragment. The optical coupler is configured to separate a received optical signal into first and second signal components. The waveguide is connected to the optical coupler and configured to propagate the first signal component via a first propagation mode. The waveguide fragment is located adjacent to the first waveguide and is configured to couple light from the first waveguide that propagates therein by a different second propagation mode.

Abstract: An optical device includes an array of optical grating couplers and a plurality of single-core fiber couplers located over a planar substrate. The optical grating couplers of the array are located to optically couple in a one-to-one manner to optical cores of a multi-core fiber or optical cable having an end located adjacent to the surface. Each single-core fiber coupler includes a planar optical waveguide connecting a corresponding one of the optical couplers of the array to an edge of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of optically equalizing a multi-level (amplitude or phase) optical signal through the effect of an optical equalizer wherein the optical equalizer (OEQ) is placed at either a transmission end or a receiver end of the optical communications link and a tap delay characteristic of the OEQ need not be determined by symbol spacing, rather it may advantageously be adjusted to desirably compensate non-linear mapping performed in the modulation process or simultaneous operation on a plurality of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels.
