    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, an optical communication system, such as a passive optical network (PON), is provided that includes an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of optical network units (ONUs). The OLT includes a plurality of photonic integrated circuits that have both optical transmitters and receivers provided therein. Accordingly, the OLT may have fewer components and a simpler, more reliable and cost-effective design than a conventional OLT including discrete components. In addition, various ONU configurations are provided that also have a simple design and fewer components. Thus, ONUs consistent with the present disclosure may also have reduced costs.

    摘要: A variable optical attenuator (VOA), which may include a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, is configured such that a substantial part of an input signal is output on a first waveguide, and a relatively small part of the input signal may be output on a second waveguide due to manufacturing process variations and/or other non-idealities. Such residual or extraneous light may interfere with light in the first waveguide, especially if the VOA is integrated on substrate. Accordingly, consistent with an aspect of the present disclosure, a photodiode may be provided to receive and absorb the residual light, thereby minimizing interference or cross-talk with light in the first waveguide.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a polarization multiplexed optical signal having optical signals with both TE and TM polarizations is supplied to an input of a polarization beam splitter (PBS). The PBS includes a first output that supplies TE polarized optical signals and a second output supplies TM polarized optical signals. A first polarizer is coupled to the second output of the PBS to pass the TM polarized optical signals, while rejecting light having other polarizations, such as the TE polarization. A rotator then rotates the light output from the first polarizer, so that such light has a TE polarization. A second polarizer is coupled to the rotator to filter light having a polarization other than the TE polarization. In addition, a third polarizer is coupled to the first output of the PBS in order to filter or block any TM light, for example, that may be output from the PBS with the TE polarized signal. Accordingly, the optical signals in the polarization multiplexed optical signal are effectively filtered, and some are rotated so that each has the same, e.g., TE polarization. Moreover, each optical signal is substantially free from light having extraneous polarizations and may be supplied to an optical hybrid circuit. Data carried by such optical signals may thus be reliably recovered.

    摘要: A high capacity optical transmitter implemented on a photonic integrated circuit chip comprises a single light source which supplies a continuous wave having a particular wavelength to a plurality of modulators to form modulated optical information signals. A phase shifter is coupled to at least one of the modulators and is used to shift the phase of the corresponding modulated optical information signal associated with a particular modulator. A polarization beam combiner receives each of the modulated optical information signals from the modulators and the modulated optical information signal from the phase shifter and combines each of these signals to form a polarization multiplexed differential quadrature phase-shift keying signal. The light source, the plurality of modulators, the phase shifter and the polarization beam combiner are all integrated on the chip.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a non-adiabatic polarization rotator is provided that can rotate the polarization of an incoming over a relatively short length. Light is supplied to the polarization rotator via a polarizer, which insures that the optical input to the polarization polarization rotator has a desired polarization. Preferably, the polarization rotator has a structure that is readily implemented with semiconductor materials and can be fabricated with known processing techniques. In addition, the polarization rotator and polarizer may include similar materials and/or layers, such that both may be readily integrated on a common substrate, such as an indium phosphide (InP) substrate.

    摘要: A coherent optical receiver circuit is disclosed in which various components of the optical receiver may be provided or integrated, in one example, on a common substrate. Further integration is achieved by incorporating various optical demultiplexer designs that are relatively compact and conserve space on the surface of the substrate. The optical receiver circuit may be used to demultiplex quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) optical signals.
