An optical power supply module is disposed on a second package substrate. The second package substrate is separate from the first package substrate. The optical power supply module includes one or more output optical ports through which continuous wave laser light is transmitted. A set of optical fibers optically connect the one or more output optical ports of the optical power supply module to the one or more supply optical ports of the optical input/output chiplet.

    Abstract: An optical input polarization management device includes a polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) that directs a portion of incoming light having a first polarization through a first optical waveguide (OW). The PSR rotates a portion of the incoming light having a second polarization to the first polarization so as to provide polarization-rotated light. The PSR directs the polarization-rotated light through a second OW. Light within the first and second OW's is input to a first two-by-two optical splitter (2x2OS). A first phase shifter (PS) is interfaced with either the first or second OW. Light is output from the first 2x2OS into a third OW and a fourth OW. Light within the third and fourth OW's is input to a second 2x2OS. A second PS is interfaced with either the third or fourth OW. Light is output from the second 2x2OS into a fifth OW for further processing.

    Abstract: A remote memory system includes a substrate of a multi-chip package, an integrated circuit chip connected to the substrate, and an electro-optical chip connected to the substrate. The integrated circuit chip includes a high-bandwidth memory interface. An electrical interface of the electro-optical chip is electrically connected to the high-bandwidth memory interface. A photonic interface of the electro-optical chip is configured to optically connect with an optical link. The electro-optical chip includes at least one optical macro that converts outgoing electrical data signals received through the electrical interface from the high-bandwidth interface into outgoing optical data signals. The optical macro transmits the outgoing optical data signals through the photonic interface to the optical link. The optical macro also converts incoming optical data signals received through the photonic interface into incoming electrical data signals. The optical macro transmits the incoming electrical data signals through the electrical interface to the high-bandwidth memory interface.

    Abstract: A photonic fanout die has a planar structure that has a top surface, a bottom surface, and outer side surfaces extending between the top surface and the bottom surface around an outer perimeter of the planar structure. The planar structure includes an opening formed within the outer perimeter. The opening has side surfaces that extend from the top surface to the bottom surface. The photonic fanout die also includes a plurality of optical waveguides formed within the planar structure to extend from a side surface of the opening to an outer side surface of the planar structure. The plurality of optical waveguides is configured such that a spacing between adjacent optical waveguides at the outer side surface of the planar structure is greater than a spacing between adjacent optical waveguides at the side surface of the opening.

    Abstract: A TORminator module is disposed with a switch linecard of a rack. The TORminator module receives downlink electrical data signals from a rack switch. The TORminator module translates the downlink electrical data signals into downlink optical data signals. The TORminator module transmits multiple subsets of the downlink optical data signals through optical fibers to respective SmartDistributor modules disposed in respective racks. Each SmartDistributor module receives multiple downlink optical data signals through a single optical fiber from the TORminator module. The SmartDistributor module demultiplexes the multiple downlink optical data signals and distributes them to respective servers. The SmartDistributor module receives multiple uplink optical data signals from multiple servers and multiplexes them onto a single optical fiber for transmission to the TORminator module. The TORminator module coverts the multiple uplink optical data signals to multiple uplink electrical data signals, and transmits the multiple uplink electrical data signals to the rack switch.
