摘要: An optical source uses feedback to maintain a substantially fixed spacing between adjacent wavelengths in a set of wavelengths in a wavelength comb output by the optical source. In particular, a set of light sources in the optical source provide optical signals having the set of wavelengths. Moreover, the optical signals are output at diffraction angles of an optical device in the optical source (such as an echelle grating), and optical detectors in the optical source determine optical metrics associated with the optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical source provides control signals to the set of light sources based on the determined optical metrics.

摘要: An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer is described. In this optical multiplexer/demultiplexer, multiple coupled-waveguide grating devices are optically coupled to a bus optical waveguide. A given coupled-waveguide grating device has a band-pass filter characteristic that encompasses multiple optical channels, thereby providing coarse optical filtering. Moreover, the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer includes multiple add/drop filters (such as ring resonators) that optically couple to the coupled-waveguide grating devices. A given add/drop filter has a filter bandwidth corresponding to a given optical channel, thereby providing fine optical filtering. Furthermore, the band-pass filter characteristic of the given coupled-waveguide grating device is approximately equal to or less than a free spectral range (FSR) of the given add/drop filter.

摘要: In a multiple-wavelength laser source, a multiple-mode laser outputs a set of wavelengths in a range of wavelengths onto an optical waveguide, where a spacing between adjacent wavelengths in the set of wavelengths is smaller than a width of channels in an optical link. Furthermore, a set of ring-resonator filters in the multiple-wavelength laser source, which are optically coupled to the optical waveguide, output corresponding subsets of the set of wavelengths for use in the optical link based on free spectral ranges and quality factors of the set of ring-resonator filters. These subsets may include one or more groups of wavelengths, with another spacing between adjacent groups of wavelengths that is larger than the width of the given channel in the optical link. In addition, the one or more groups of wavelengths may include one or more wavelengths, with the spacing between adjacent wavelengths in the given group of wavelengths.

摘要: An integrated optical device includes a photo-detector (such as germanium) optically coupled to an optical waveguide. This photo-detector is deposited on the optical waveguide, and an optical signal propagating in the optical waveguide may be evanescently coupled to the photo-detector. In order to increase the absorption length of the photo-detector, a mirror (such as a distributed Bragg reflection grating) is included in the optical waveguide near the end of the photo-detector. This mirror reflects the optical signal back toward the photo-detector, thereby increasing the absorption of the optical signal by the photo-detector. In addition, absorption may be reduced by using electrical contacts that are electrically coupled to the photo-detector at locations where the optical mode of the optical signal is largely in the underlying optical waveguide, and by using a fingered metal layer to couple to the electrical contacts.

摘要: An integrated circuit includes a holographic recording material substantially filling a cavity in a semiconductor layer. During operation of the integrated circuit, a holographic pattern in the holographic recording is reconstructed and used to diffract an optical signal propagating in a plane of an optical waveguide, which is defined in the semiconductor layer out of the plane through the cavity. In this way, the holographic recording material may be used to couple the optical signal to an optical fiber or another integrated circuit.
