    Abstract: A device may include: a highly doped n+ Si region; an intrinsic silicon multiplication region disposed on at least a portion of the n+ Si region, the intrinsic silicon multiplication having a thickness of about 90-110 nm; a highly doped p− Si charge region disposed on at least part of the intrinsic silicon multiplication region, the p− Si charge region having a thickness of about 40-60 nm; and a p+ Ge absorption region disposed on at least a portion of the p− Si charge region; wherein the p+ Ge absorption region is doped across its entire thickness. The thickness of the n+ Si region may be about 100 nm and the thickness of the p− Si charge region may be about 50 nm. The p+ Ge absorption region may confine the electric field to the multiplication region and the charge region to achieve a temperature stability of 4.2 mV/° C.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to optical systems. In particular, implementations herein relate to an optical system including an optical transmitter configured to transmit optical signals. The optical transmitter includes a first optical source configured to emit light having different wavelengths, a waveguide, and an optical coupler configured to couple the emitted light from the first optical source to the waveguide. The optical transmitter further includes an array of two or more second optical sources coupled to the waveguide, each of the two or more second optical sources configured to be injection locked to a different respective wavelength of the emitted light transmitted via the waveguide from the first optical source. In some implementations, the first optical source is a master comb laser and the two or more second optical sources are slave ring lasers.

    Abstract: A three-terminal avalanche photodiode provides a first controllable voltage drop across a light absorbing region and a second, independently controllable, voltage drop across a photocurrent amplifying region. The compositions of the absorbing region and the amplifying region may be optimized independently of each other. In the amplifying region, p-doped and n-doped structures are offset from each other both horizontally and vertically. Directly applying a voltage across a controlled region of the photocurrent path increases avalanche gain by shaping the electric field to overlap the photocurrent density. The resulting high-gain, low-bias avalanche photodiodes may be fabricated in integrated optical circuits using commercial CMOS processes, operated by power supplies common to mature computer architecture, and used for optical interconnects, light sensing, and other applications.

    Abstract: Coupling modulation of an optical resonator employs a variable modal index to provide modulation of optical signal coupling. A coupling-modulated optical resonator includes an optical resonator having a coupled portion and a bus waveguide having a modulation section adjacent to and coextensive with and separated by a gap from the coupled portion. The modulation section is to modulate coupling of an optical signal between the optical resonator and the bus waveguide according to a variable difference between a modal index of the bus waveguide modulation section and a modal index of the optical resonator coupled portion.
