Abstract: An optical waveguide power divider which uses a two-dimensional slab waveguide. An input confined to one arm propagates to a point where synchronism between two closely adjacent guides is abruptly introduced by introducing an overlay with a fast taper. The coupled guides are here sufficiently synchronous and close together that the symmetrical and asymmetrical normal modes of the coupled structure will be excited, each with 1/2 of the input power. Synchronism is then slowly removed by tapering the overlay to zero so that mode "a" selects arm #1 while mode "b" selects arm #2. These latter changes are adiabatic, i.e., slow enough tAfter synchronism has been removed, the two arms may be spatially separated to split the power into two directions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an optical equalizer for photonics system in an electric-optical communication network. The optical equalizer includes an input port and an output port. Additionally, the optical equalizer includes a filter having a number of stages coupled to each other in a multi-stage series with an output terminal of any stage being coupled to an input terminal of an adjacent next stage while the input terminal of a first stage of the multi-stage series being coupled from the input port. Each stage includes a tap terminal configured to pass an optical power factored by a coefficient of multiplication from the corresponding input terminal of the stage to a tap-output path characterized by a corresponding phase delay. Furthermore, the optical equalizer includes a combiner configured to sum up the optical powers respectively from the number of tap-output paths of the multi-stage series to the output port.

Abstract: A system for integrated power combiners is disclosed and may include receiving optical signals in input optical waveguides and phase-modulating the signals to configure a phase offset between signals received at a first optical coupler, where the first optical coupler may generate output signals having substantially equal optical powers. Output signals of the first optical coupler may be phase-modulated to configure a phase offset between signals received at a second optical coupler, which may generate an output signal having an optical power of essentially zero and a second output signal having a maximized optical power. Optical signals received by the input optical waveguides may be generated utilizing a polarization-splitting grating coupler to enable polarization-insensitive combining of optical signals. Optical power may be monitored using optical detectors. The monitoring of optical power may be used to determine a desired phase offset between the signals received at the first optical coupler.

Abstract: A multiplexer/demultiplexer for at least two wavelengths in O-band. The multiplexer/demultiplexer includes a silicon waveguide block having a first port, a second/third port respectively in bar/cross position at an opposing end plane relative to the first port. The silicon waveguide block is configured to provide a general interference excitation of a light wave of a first wavelength and a second wavelength respectively selected from two windows in O-band. The light wave is either inputted via the first port and split into a first output light of the first wavelength out of the second port and a second output light of the second wavelength out of the third port, or is combined of a first input light of the first wavelength from the second port and a second input light of the second wavelength from the third port and outputted via the first port with both wavelengths.
