Abstract: Integrated wavelength selectors are described. The wavelength selector may include silicon nitride ring resonator disposed vertically between a heater and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be formed of silicon in some embodiments. The wavelength selector may be coupled to the output port of a tunable laser, or may be disposed within a laser cavity.

Abstract: A method, system, and ASIC chip for comparing a bit error rate (BER) to a forward error correction (FEC) threshold to determine a Q margin for a codeblock; wherein the BER corresponds to the number of errors in a given amount of data; where a codeblock of a FEC corresponds to the given amount of data; wherein the FEC threshold corresponds to the maximum amount of errors per codeblock that the FEC is able to remove per given amount of data; wherein the Q margin corresponds to a difference between the BER and the FEC threshold.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit may be coupled to an optical fiber and packaged. The optical fiber may be supported by a fiber holder during a solder reflow process performed to mount the packaged photonic integrated circuit to a circuit board or other substrate. The optical fiber may be decoupled from the fiber holder, and the fiber holder removed, after completion of the solder reflow process.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) having a resistivity-engineered substrate to suppress radio-frequency (RF) common-mode signals. In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate is provided that comprises two portions having different levels of resistivity to provide both suppression of common mode signals, and reduction of RF absorption loss for non-common mode RF signals. In such embodiments, a bottom portion of the semiconductor substrate has a low resistivity to suppress common mode via RF absorption, while a top portion of the semiconductor substrate that is adjacent to conductors in the IC has a high resistivity to reduce RF loss.

Abstract: Techniques for performing forward error correction of data to be transmitted over an optical communications channel. The techniques include: receiving data bits; organizing the data bits into an arrangement having a plurality of blocks organized into rows and columns and into a plurality of strands including a first strand of blocks that includes a back portion comprising a first row of the plurality of blocks, and a front portion comprising blocks from at least two different columns in at least two different rows other than the first row of blocks; and encoding at least some of the data bits in the arrangement using a first error correcting code at least in part by generating first parity bits by applying the first error correcting code to first data bits in the front portion of the first strands and second data bits in the back portion of the first strand.
