    Abstract: A system and method for measuring blood pressure. In some embodiments, a system includes a speckleplethysmography sensor and a processing circuit. The system may be configured: to perform, using the speckleplethysmography sensor, blood flow measurements of a subject, and measurements of cuff pressure of a cuff worn by the subject, while the cuff pressure varies; and to calculate, from the blood flow measurements and the cuff pressure measurements, a first blood pressure.

    Abstract: An optical multiplexer. The optical multiplexer comprising: a plurality of input waveguides, each comprising an input slab portion and an input rib portion; an output waveguide, comprising an output slab portion and output rib portion; and a wavelength multiplexer element, coupled to each input waveguide and the output waveguide, the wavelength multiplexer element comprising a slab waveguide which includes a grating configured to multiplex signals of differing wavelengths, received from the input waveguides, into a multiplexed signal, and provide the multiplexed signal to the output waveguide. The input rib portion(s) of one or more of the input waveguides are tapered so as to decrease in width in a direction towards the slab waveguide of the wavelength multiplexer element which is an echelle grating or an arrayed waveguide grating.
