    摘要: Methods, architectures, circuits, and/or systems for tracking variations in the operating parameters of an optical or optoelectronic device are disclosed, as well as use of such variation data to monitor or control device functions and/or generate warnings and/or status flags. A method of tracking a variation in one or more operating parameters in an optical or optoelectronic device may include (i) monitoring one or more operating parameters of the device over time to determine values for each of the operating parameters, (ii) calculating the variation in each of the operating parameters as a function of time, (iii) comparing the variation to one or more predetermined thresholds, each threshold corresponding to an operational warning or alarm, and (iv) generating the operational warning or alarm when the variation exceeds the corresponding threshold.

    摘要: An optical phase shifter and a method of making the same are disclosed. The phase shifter includes a substrate, a p-doped electrode and an n-doped electrode on the substrate, a first doped semiconductor layer on the p-doped electrode or the n-doped electrode and in electrical contact with the other electrode, a second doped semiconductor layer on the first doped semiconductor layer, a first vertical region electrically connecting the second doped semiconductor layer with the one electrode, and a cladding layer on or over the second semiconductor layer, the first vertical region, and at least a first sidewall of each of the first and second semiconductor layers. The p-doped electrode and the n-doped electrode form a p-n junction at an interface therebetween. The first and second doped semiconductor layers have the same doping type as the other electrode and the one electrode, respectively.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an optical modulator including an m*n optical coupler, first and second waveguides coupled or connected to the m*n optical coupler, a first phase shifter coupled to the first waveguide, and first and second loop mirrors at respective ends of the first and second waveguides opposite from the m*n optical coupler. The m*n optical coupler is configured to combine substantially similar or identical continuous light beams (at least one of which may be phase-shifted) returned through the first and second waveguides by the first and second loop mirrors to form a modulated optical signal. A compound optical modulator, a modulated or modulatable laser, and methods of using and manufacturing the optical modulators, are also disclosed.

    摘要: Embodiments pertain to an optical transmitter, including a thermally unregulated light emitting device and a sloped or graded passband filter. The light emitting device is configured to receive a bias current and output an optical signal within a wavelength band. The sloped or graded passband filter is configured to attenuate an output power of the optical signal in the wavelength band. The light emitting device has a maximum bias current limit, a maximum operating temperature limit, and maximum and minimum output power limits, and the sloped or graded passband filter has an insertion loss in the wavelength band that decreases as the light emitting device temperature increases and/or the optical signal wavelength increases within the wavelength band. The attenuated optical signal is within the maximum and minimum output power limits when the bias current is at or below the maximum bias current limit and the light emitting device outputs the optical signal at or below the maximum operating temperature limit.

The system includes a first PIC having (i) an optical emitter or optical transmission mechanism and (ii) a focusing mirror thereon, and a second PIC having an optical receiver and a reflecting mirror thereon. The reflecting mirror is configured to reflect light transmitted by the optical emitter or optical transmission mechanism back to the first PIC. The focusing mirror is configured to (i) further reflect the light reflected by the reflecting mirror and (ii) focus the further reflected light on the optical receiver. Methods of using and manufacturing the system are also disclosed.
