摘要: In conventional optical receivers the dynamic range is obtained by using variable gain amplifiers (VGA) with a fixed trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) gain. To overcome the SNR problems inherent in conventional receivers an improved optical receiver comprises an automatic gain control loop for generating at least one gain control signal for controlling gain of both the VGA and the TIA. Ideally, both the resistance and the gain of the TIA are controlled by a gain control signal.

摘要: A photonic chip including an integrated optoelectronic device is flip-chip mounted to a carrier. The optoelectronic device is provided with a 3D ground cage as a shield for stray EM radiation. The 3D ground cage is formed by a device ground electrode partially enclosing the optoelectronic device on a face of the chip, a carrier ground electrode disposed opposite to the device ground electrode, and a plurality of metal pillars therebetween at least partially surrounding the optoelectronic device. The optoelectronic device may be an OE converter of an integrated optical receiver. The optoelectronic device may also be an EO converter of an integrated optical transmitter.

摘要: A high data rate, high sensitivity, low power optical link using low-bandwidth components and low-bandwidth E/O drivers and receivers and method of building same. The method is based on the idea of making the optical part of the link look like a bandwidth limited lossy electrical channel, so that the powerful equalization methods used in the wireline electrical links can be applied to recover the transmitted data in a situation with low bandwidth and/or high loss and strong inter-symbol interference. Linear and non-linear optical channel components, E/O drivers and receivers can benefit from the apparatus and the methods of the invention.

摘要: Within a modulator driver, different blocks are employed, e.g. a buffer, one or more variable gain amplifiers (VGA), and a final driver stage. Each of these blocks has an optimum bias point for best performance; however, interconnecting the blocks requires sharing the DC bias points in their interface, which does not necessarily match the optimum performance bias point of each block. Accordingly, a first offset feedback loop extending from reference points after a selected one of the blocks to an input of one of the blocks. The first offset feedback loop includes current sources capable of delivering a variable current to the input of the selected block in order to compensate any offset in an amplified differential input electrical signal measured at the reference points. A first bias feedback loop is also provided, including a current sinker for subtracting excess current introduced in the first offset compensation feedback loop.

摘要: A coherent optical receiver for AM optical signals has a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) as an optical front-end. The PIC includes a polarization beam splitter followed by two optical hybrids each followed by an opto-electric (OE) converter. Each OE converter includes one or more differential detectors and one or more squaring circuits, which outputs may be summed. The PIC may further include integrated polarization controllers, wavelength demultiplexers, and/or tunable dispersion compensators.

摘要: In optical receivers, extending the transimpedance amplifier's (TIA) dynamic range is a key to increasing the receiver's dynamic range, and therefore increase the channel capacity. Ideally, the TIA requires controllable gain, whereby the receiver can modify the characteristics of the TIA and/or the VGA to process high power incoming signals with a defined maximum distortion, and low power incoming signals with a defined maximum noise. A solution to the problem is to provide TIA's and VGA's with reconfigurable sizes, which are adjustable based on the level of power, e.g. current, generated by the photodetector.

摘要: An optical modulator apparatus may include a plurality of segment drivers, each segment driver having a unique offset voltage and driving but a portion or a segment of an electro-optical modulator. A modulating electrical signal may be applied to the segment drivers via a plurality of electrical delays. Parameters of the segment drivers may be selected so as to approximate a pre-defined transfer function, which may include a linear or a non-linear transfer function.
