    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a system has a plurality of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) having a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. A signal within a given wavelength channel transmitted to one of the input ports of a given AWG is routed to one of the output ports of the given AWG based on a signal wavelength. The system also has a plurality of nodes, with each node comprising a set of components for each AWG that the node is coupled to. Each set of components comprises a plurality of optical transmitters, where each optical transmitter is tunable over multiple wavelength channels within a different wavelength band; a band multiplexer to multiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; and a first output fiber to couple an output of the band multiplexer to one of the input ports of a first AWG.

    Abstract: A VCSEL device includes a substrate and a first DBR structure disposed on the substrate. The VCSEL device further includes a cathode contact disposed on a top surface of the first DBR structure. In addition, the VCSEL device includes a VCSEL mesa that is disposed on the top surface of the first DBR structure. The VCSEL mesa includes a quantum well, a non-circularly-shaped oxide aperture region disposed above the quantum well, and a second DBR structure disposed above the non-circularly-shaped oxide aperture region. In addition, the VCSEL mesa includes a selective polarization structure disposed above the second DBR structure and an anode contact disposed above the selective polarization structure.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first and second VCSEL, each with an integrated lens. The VCSELs emit a first light beam having first optical modes at first wavelengths and a second light beam having second optical modes at second wavelengths. The apparatus also has an optical block with a first and second surface, a mirror coupled to the second surface, and a wavelength-selective filter coupled to the first surface. The first integrated lens mode matches the first beam to the optical block, and the second integrated lens mode matches the second beam to the optical block such that the first beam and second beam each have substantially a beam waist with a beam waist dimension at the first and second input region, respectively. An exit beam that includes light from the first beam and the second beam is output from the second surface of the optical block.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a dual-side bi-directional optical multiplexing system includes a light receiving elements array receiving light from in an egress propagation direction from an optical fiber, arranged at a side of the optical fiber. The system also includes a light transmitting elements array emitting light in an ingress propagation direction into the optical fiber, and arranged at a second position to an opposing side of the optical fiber. The light receiving elements array and the light transmitting elements array are on dual-sides of the system with respect to the optical fiber. The system also includes bi-directional micro-optics interfacing with the optical fiber, and interfacing with the light transmitting elements array to direct light propagating in the ingress direction emitted from the light transmitting element array towards the optical fiber.
