    摘要: A split microprocessor socket is disclosed that provides a cavity created at an outer edge of the microprocessor socket. An optical module may be fitted in the cavity thus providing an optical fiber or waveguide connection directly to the socket. This low cost optical interconnect, closely packaged with the microprocessor, may alleviate bandwidth constraints associated with conventional electrical connections.

    摘要: A temperature sensing and control method and apparatus. In one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus according to the teachings of the present invention includes an optical path disposed in semiconductor material. A four-terminal resistor is defined in the semiconductor material. At least a portion of the optical path is directed through the four-terminal resistor. The four-terminal resistor includes a first pair of terminals between which a probe current is to be injected. The four-terminal resistor also includes a second pair of terminals between which a voltage drop is to be measured so as to determine a resistance along the portion of the optical path directed through the four-terminal resistor. Temperature may be derived from the determined resistance of the four-terminal resistor. In one embodiment, the temperature of the semiconductor material may then be controlled with a heater in response to the derived temperature.

    摘要: A semiconductor-based tunable add/drop method and apparatus. In one aspect of the present invention, a method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes splitting a first optical beam having multiple wavelengths into second and third optical beams with a first 3 dB optical coupler disposed in a semiconductor substrate. Portions of the second and third optical beams having a tunable wavelength are reflected back to the first 3 dB optical coupler with first and second pluralities of silicon and polysilicon interfaces, respectively, disposed along the semiconductor substrate. In another embodiment, the portions of the second and third optical beams having a tunable wavelength are reflected back to the first 3 dB optical coupler with first and second pluralities of modulated charged regions. Portions of the second and third optical beams not reflected are directed to a second 3 dB optical coupler disposed in the semiconductor substrate. The portions of the second and third optical beams not reflected are combined into a fourth optical beam with the second 3 dB optical coupler.
