    Abstract: Examples herein relate to single-etch layer grating couplers. In particular, implementations herein relate to single-etch layer grating couplers comprising a planar waveguide wherein a first grating section and a second grating section are etched into. The first grating section is configured to scatter light at a given wavelength at a first angle relative to vertical and the second grating section is configured to scatter light at the given wavelength at a second angle relative to vertical. The stagger-tuning of the first grating section and the second grating section results in the light at the given wavelength being scattered at a desired angle the same or near an angle at which an optical fiber is offset from vertical.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to multi-wavelength semiconductor comb lasers. In some examples disclosed herein, a multi-wavelength semiconductor comb laser may include a waveguide included in an upper silicon layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The comb laser may include a quantum dot (QD) active gain region above the SOI substrate defining an active section in a laser cavity of the comb laser and a dispersion tuning section included in the laser cavity to tune total cavity dispersion of the comb laser.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to concurrently performing operations on optical signals. In an example, a method includes providing, to an optical circuit, a first plurality of signals having a first optical property and encoding a first vector. A second plurality of signals is provided to the circuit that encodes a second vector and has a second optical property that is different from the first optical property. A first attribute-dependent operation is performed on the first plurality of signals via the circuit to perform a first matrix multiplication operation on the first vector, and concurrently, a second attribute-dependent operation is performed on the second plurality of signals to perform a second matrix multiplication operation on the second vector. The first matrix multiplication operation and the second matrix multiplication operation are different based on the first optical property being different from the second optical property.

    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus includes a bus waveguide, a plurality of optical gates coupled to the bus waveguide and an injection coupler. The bus waveguide receives a plurality of constraint signals. Each optical gate outputs an internal state via a local phase shift when at least one of the plurality of constraint signals has a wavelength that matches a respective resonant wavelength. The injection coupler combines the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals with additional constraint signals that are injected. An error is detected in a bit of a message when an overall phase shift has occurred to the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals causing a power level to exceed a power level threshold of an optical gate when the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals constructively interferes with the additional constraint signals that are injected.

    Abstract: An example system for multi-wavelength optical signal splitting is disclosed. The example disclosed herein comprises a first splitter, a second splitter, and a modulator. The system receives a multi-wavelength optical signal and an electrical signal, wherein the multi-wavelength optical signal comprises a plurality of optical wavelengths and has a power level. The first splitter is to split the plurality of optical wavelengths into a plurality of optical wavelength groups. The second splitter is to split the multi-wavelength optical signal or the plurality of optical wavelength groups into a plurality of lower power signal groups. The modulator is to encode the electrical signal into the plurality of optical wavelength groups, the plurality of lower power signal groups, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a driver circuit. In an example, the circuit includes a first input for receiving a first signal and a second input for receiving a second signal that is an inverse of the first signal. The circuit also includes a first driver array electrically coupling the first input to a first DC isolator and a first delay tap line electrically coupling the second input to the first DC isolator. The circuit further includes a second driver array electrically coupling the second input to a second DC isolator and a second delay tap line electrically coupling the first input to the second DC isolator. A carrier controller of the circuit is electrically coupled between the first DC isolator and the second DC isolator.
