    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for providing a serializer and/or a deserializer with redundancy using optical modulators. An example system includes an MZM structure that comprises a first waveguide interferometer arm structure and a second waveguide interferometer arm structure. The first waveguide interferometer arm structure comprises a first segmented electrode associated with at least a first electrode and a second electrode. The second waveguide interferometer arm structure comprises a second segmented electrode associated with at least a third electrode and a fourth electrode. The MZM structure is configured to convert an optical input signal into an optical output signal through application of a digital data signal to the first electrode and the third electrode, and application of a redundant digital data signal to the second electrode and the fourth electrode.

    Abstract: A passive dual polarization unit and coherent transceiver and/or receiver including one or more passive dual polarization units are provided. An example passive dual polarization unit includes a polarization splitter configured to split an input signal into a TE mode and TM mode signals; TE/TM splitters each designed to split the TE/TM mode signals into first TE/TM signals and second TE/TM signals; a first TE signal polarization rotation component for receiving the first TE signal and providing a third TM signal having the same magnitude and time dependence as the first TE signal; a first TM signal polarization rotation component for receiving the first TM signal and providing a third TE signal having the same magnitude and time dependence as the first TM signal; and TE/TM couplers that couple the second TE/TM signals and the third TE/TM signals to generate output TE/TM signals.

    Abstract: A photonics frequency comb generator includes two integrated dies: an indium phosphide die laser of a first wavelength is grown on from, and a silicon photonics die having a microring resonator connected to the laser and frequency modulators. The microring resonator converts the first wavelength into a number of second wavelengths. One type of the microring resonator is a hybrid non-linear optical wavelength generator, comprising non-silicon materials, such as SiC or SiGe built on silicon to yield a non-linear wavelength generation. The second wavelengths are generated by adjusting the ring's geometric size and a distance between the ring and the traverse waveguide. Another type of microring resonator splits the first wavelength into a plurality of second wavelengths and transmits the multiple second wavelengths to filters and modulators, and each selects and modulates one of the second wavelengths in a one-to-one relationship. This frequency comb generator has applications in WDM/CWDM and multi-chip modules in high speed transceivers.
