Abstract: Signal integrity in high-speed applications is dependent on both the underlying device performance and electronic packaging methods. The maturity of chip-on-board (COB) packaging technology using wire bonding makes it a cost beneficial option for the mass production of high-speed optical transceivers. However, wire bonding introduces parasitic inductance associated with the length of the bond wires that limits the scalability of the system for higher data throughput. A high-speed optical transceiver package according to a first proposed configuration minimizes packaging related parasitic inductance by vertically integrating components using flip-chip bonding. A high-speed optical transceiver package according to a second proposed configuration minimizes packaging related parasitic inductance with horizontal tiling of components using a chip carrier and flip-chip bonding.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for a photonic chip. The photonic chip includes one or more electronic components in addition to one or more optical components. Grating couplers can be utilized for coupling light incident from an optical fibers or lasers with the optical components on the photonic chip. The grating couplers can be designed to have a wide bandwidth to support applications such as wave division multiplexing (WDM). The wide bandwidth can be achieved by reducing a mode field diameter (MFD) of the light beams incident on the grating couplers, and selecting a beam size of the optical couplers to be substantially equal to MFD. The bandwidth can be further improved by using thin silicon layer for fabricating the ridges of the grating coupler. Grating couplers with relatively large beam sizes can be utilized for coupling light output by lasers with the optical components on the chip.

Abstract: Energy proportional solutions are provided for computer networks such as datacenters. Congestion sensing heuristics are used to adaptively route traffic across links. Traffic intensity is sensed and links are dynamically activated as they are needed. As the offered load is decreased, the lower channel utilization is sensed and the link speed is reduced to save power. Flattened butterfly topologies can be used in a further power saving approach. Switch mechanisms are exploit the topology's capabilities by reconfiguring link speeds on-the-fly to match bandwidth and power with the traffic demand. For instance, the system may estimate the future bandwidth needs of each link and reconfigure its data rate to meet those requirements while consuming less power. In one configuration, a mechanism is provided where the switch tracks the utilization of each of its links over an epoch, and then makes an adjustment at the end of the epoch.

Abstract: An optical connector assembly includes a spring, a ferrule, a first housing, and a second housing connected to the first housing. The ferrule includes a ferrule body and a lens. The ferrule body defines a fiber receiver configured to receive optical fibers of an optical cable and a first spring receiver configured to receive the spring. The lens is arranged to optically communicate light propagated by the received optical fibers for free-space optical communication.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for an energy efficient communication system. The communication system can include a transmitter, a receiver and a communication link for communicating data between the transmitter and the receiver. In some implementations, the receiver determines a signal quality parameter (SQP) value of the received data, and communicates the SQP value to the transmitter. In some implementations, the transmitter adjusts one or more operational parameters of the transmitter to reduce power based on the received SQP value being less than a threshold value. In some implementations, the receiver also adjusts one or more operational parameters of the receiver based on the SQP value being less than a threshold value. In some implementations, the receiver can communicate the SQP value to the transmitter over out-of-band communication links.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a methodology for designing a large-scale non-blocking OCS using a multi-stage folded CLOS switch architecture for use in datacenter networks and fiber-rich backbone network POPs. One aspect employs a folded CLOS architecture because of its ease of implementation, enabling the topology to scale arbitrarily with increasing number of stages. The fraction of ports allocated for internal switch wiring (overhead) also increases with the number of stages. Design decisions are made to carefully optimize the insertion loss per module, number of ports per module, number of stages and the total scale required. Other embodiments include folded CLOS switch architectures having at least two stages. In one example, power monitoring may be included only on the leaf switches.

Abstract: An optical network remote node includes first and second node inputs, each receiving a multiplexed optical signal, and node outputs, each outputting a separate demultiplexed optical signal. The node includes first and second optical power splitters, each having a splitter input connected to one of the node inputs and splitter outputs connected to corresponding node outputs. The node includes an arrayed waveguide grating having first and second grating inputs connected to the first and second node inputs, respectively, and grating outputs connected to the corresponding node outputs. If the received signal at one of the node inputs is time division multiplexed, the corresponding connected optical power splitter broadcasts the received optical signal at the node outputs. If the received signal at one of the node inputs is wavelength division multiplexed, the arrayed waveguide grating demultiplexes the received optical signals in wavelength and outputs the demultiplexed signals at the node outputs.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide transmitters and receivers for managing multiple optical signals. High order modulation, such as phase and/or amplitude modulation, is used to achieve multiple bits per symbol by transporting multiple asynchronous data streams in an optical transport system. One or more supplemental multiplexing techniques such as time division multiplexing, polarization multiplexing and sub-carrier multiplexing may be used in conjunction with the high order modulation processing. This may be done in various combinations to realize a highly spectrally efficient multi-data stream transport mechanism. The system receives a number of asynchronous signals which are unframed and synchronized, and then reframed and tagged prior to the high order modulation. Differential encoding may also be performed. Upon reception of the multiplexed optical signal, the receiver circuitry may employ either direct detection without a local oscillator or coherent detection with a local oscillator.
