    摘要: An optical de-MUX includes a sub-wavelength grating that magnifies an input optical signal. In particular, along a direction perpendicular to a propagation direction of the optical signal, the sub-wavelength grating has a spatially varying effective index of refraction that is larger at a center of the sub-wavelength grating than at an edge of the sub-wavelength grating. Moreover, the optical de-MUX includes an optical device that images and diffracts the optical signal using a reflective geometry, and which provides different diffraction orders to output ports. For example, the optical device may include an echelle grating.

    摘要: An optical switch is described that includes two optical waveguides, which are defined in a semiconductor layer, positioned proximate to an intermediate component, such as a micro-resonator or a directional coupler. Material underneath a portion of either or both optical waveguides is removed so that the portion of either or both optical waveguides is free standing, and a group of electrodes is proximate to the free-standing portion of either or both optical waveguides. During operation of the optical switch, a spacing-control circuit applies an electrical signal to the group of electrodes. An electrostatic force associated with the electrical signal modifies a spacing between the free-standing portion of either or both optical waveguides and the intermediate component, thereby substantially increasing optical coupling between either or both optical waveguides and the intermediate component to convey a broadband optical signal between the optical waveguides.

    摘要: A multi-chip module (MCM) is described. This MCM includes two substrates having facing surfaces. Disposed on a surface of a first of these substrates, there is an optical waveguide, having an eigenmode in the plane of the surface, and an optical coupler, which redirects optical signals to and/or from the optical waveguide and a direction normal to the surface. Furthermore, disposed on a surface of a second of the substrates, which faces the surface of the first substrate, and which overlaps the optical coupler, there is an optoelectronic device. This optoelectronic device, which has an eigenmode in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the second substrate, selectively receives or provides the optical signal to and/or from the optical coupler. For example, the selective receiving or providing may be controlled by selectively applying a potential to the quantum-well device, thereby changing the optical properties of the optoelectronic device.

    摘要: Using silicon photonic components that support a single polarization, the output of an optical receiver is independent of the polarization of an optical signal. In particular, using a polarization-diversity technique, the two orthogonal polarizations in a single-mode optical fiber are split in two and processed independently. For example, the two optical signals are provided by a polarizing splitting grating coupler.Subsequently, a wavelength channel in the two optical signals is selected using a wavelength-selective filter (for example, using a ring resonator or an echelle grating) and combined at an optical detector (such as a photo-detector) to achieve polarization-independent operation.

    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.
