    摘要: An optical-source monitor images and diffracts received optical signals using an optical device that has a reflective geometry. For example, the optical device may include a diffraction grating on a curved surface, such as an echelle grating. By imaging and diffracting the optical signals, the optical device may couple to the optical signals on different diffraction orders of the optical device (which have different carrier wavelengths) from input optical waveguides to corresponding output optical waveguides. Then, output power monitors may measure the output power levels of the optical signals, and control logic may provide wavelength control signals to optical sources that provide the optical signals based on measured output power levels.

    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.

    摘要: In a multi-chip module (MCM), integrated circuits are coupled by optical waveguides. These integrated circuits receive optical signals from a set of light sources which have fixed carrier wavelengths. Moreover, a given integrated circuit includes: a transmitter that modulates at least one of the optical signals when transmitting information to at least another of the integrated circuits; and a receiver that receives at least one modulated optical signal having one of the carrier wavelengths when receiving information from at least the other of the integrated circuits. Furthermore, the MCM includes switchable drop filters optically coupled to the optical waveguides and associated integrated circuits, wherein the switchable drop filters pass adjustable bands of wavelengths to receivers in the integrated circuits. Additionally, control logic in the MCM provides a control signal to the switchable drop filters to specify the adjustable bands of wavelengths.

    摘要: A phase modulation waveguide structure includes one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, a doped semiconductor layer formed over the one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, the doped semiconductor portion including a waveguide rib protruding from a surface thereof not in contact with the one of a semiconductor and a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, and an electrical contact on top of the waveguide rib. The electrical contact is formed of a material with an optical refractive index close to that of a surrounding oxide layer that surrounds the waveguide rib and the electrical contact and lower than the optical refractive index of the doped semiconductor layer. During propagation of an optical mode within the waveguide structure, the electrical contact isolates the optical mode between the doped semiconductor layer and a metal electrode contact on top of the electrical contact.

    摘要: A linear N×N robotic fiber optic switch is described. Notably, fiber adapters for connecting the input and output fibers are arranged linearly. Moreover, each fiber adaptor is driven by a push-pull mechanism such that it can be positioned to a front, center, or back position, with which the private plane of a fiber port can be separated from the other fiber ports and fiber connection can be configured using a simple linear translation robotic pickup free of interference in a compact space. Furthermore, a large scale fabric switch comprises 3 stages of N linear N×N robotic switches connected using fiber shuffles. Each stage or all three stages can share one robot to reduce cost. Scalability to large port counts may be accomplished proportional to N, the number of ports, rather than N2.
