摘要: Systems and methods for a track and hold amplifier with extended dynamic range may include a track amplifier comprising a first PMOS transistor coupled to a first NMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor coupled to a second NMOS transistor, a capacitor at gates of each NMOS and PMOS transistor, and a plurality of switches. The track and hold amplifier is operable to, during a tracking mode of the track and hold amplifier, couple a differential input signal to each NMOS and PMOS transistor via a first switch coupled to a first capacitor coupled to the gate of the first PMOS transistor and a second capacitor coupled to the gate of the first NMOS transistor, and via a second switch coupled to a third capacitor coupled to the gate of the second PMOS and a fourth capacitor coupled to the gate of the second NMOS transistor.

摘要: Methods and systems for an optical connection service interface may include, in an optical data link comprising an optical fiber coupling first and second transceivers, generating a signal for the transceivers at a low frequency, and communicating, utilizing the optical fiber, an optical data signal at a high frequency and an Optical Connection Service interface (OCSi) signal at an intermediate frequency. An optical signal may be modulated at the intermediate frequencies for the OCSi, and may be modulated and communicated to the second transceiver. The communicated modulated signal and the optical data signal may be detected utilizing a photodetector in the second transceiver. The detected optical signal may be demodulated, and an optical power of the optical data signal may be configured based on the demodulated signal.

摘要: A method and system for optoelectronic receivers utilizing waveguide heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) integrated in a wafer are disclosed and may include receiving optical signals via optical fibers operably coupled to a top surface of the chip. Electrical signals may be generated utilizing HPTs that detect the optical signals. The electrical signals may be amplified via voltage amplifiers, or transimpedance amplifiers, the outputs of which may be utilized to bias the HPTs by a feedback network. The optical signals may be coupled into opposite ends of the HPTs. A collector of the HPTs may comprise a silicon layer and a germanium layer, a base may comprise a silicon germanium alloy with germanium composition ranging from 70% to 100%, and an emitter including crystalline or poly Si or SiGe. The optical signals may be demodulated by communicating a mixer signal to a base terminal of the HPTs.

摘要: A method and system is provided for cassette based wavelength division multiplexing and may include an optical system with an aggregating cassette. The optical system may include optical transceivers, with each generating optical signals at a different wavelength. The aggregating cassette may include one or more multiplexers coupled to each of the optical transceivers via optical fibers. The optical transceivers may generate modulated optical signals at one of the different wavelengths. The optical fibers may communicate one of the modulated optical signals from each of the optical transceivers to the one or more multiplexers. The modulated optical signals may be multiplexed to one or more output optical fibers. The multiplexed signals may be communicated to one or more receiving demultiplexers using the one or more output optical fibers. The one or more demultiplexers may demultiplex the multiplexed signals into separate wavelength signals.

摘要: Methods and systems for a bi-directional receiver for standard single-mode fiber based on grating couplers may include, in an integrated circuit, a multi-wavelength grating coupler, and first and second optical sources coupled to the integrated circuit: coupling first and second source optical signals at first and second wavelengths into the photonically-enabled integrated circuit using the first and second optical sources, where the second wavelength is different from the first wavelength, receiving a first optical data signal at the first wavelength from an optical fiber coupled to the multi-wavelength grating coupler, and receiving a second optical data signal at the second wavelength from the optical fiber. Third and fourth optical data signals at the first and second wavelengths may be communicated out of the optoelectronic transceiver via the multi-wavelength grating coupler.

摘要: Methods and systems for a chip-on-wafer-on-substrate assembly are disclosed and may include in an optical communication system comprising an electronics die and a substrate. The electronics die is bonded to a first surface of a photonic interposer and the substrate is coupled to a second surface of the photonic interposer opposite to the first surface. An optical fiber and a light source assembly are coupled to the second surface of the interposer in one or more cavities formed in the substrate. A continuous wave (CW) optical signal may be received in the photonic interposer from the light source assembly, and a modulated optical signal may be communicated between the optical fiber and photonic interposer. The received CW optical signal may be coupled to an optical waveguide in the photonic interposer using a grating coupler.
