    Abstract: Coupled-cavity vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are provided by the present disclosure. The coupled-cavity VCSEL can comprise a VCSEL having a first mirror, a gain medium disposed above the first mirror, and a second mirror disposed above the gain medium, wherein a first cavity is formed by the first mirror and the second mirror. A second cavity is optically coupled to the VCSEL and configured to reflect light emitted from the VCSEL back into the first cavity of the VCSEL. In some embodiments, the second cavity can be an external cavity optically coupled to the VCSEL through a coupling component. In some embodiments, the second cavity can be integrated with the VCSEL to form a monolithic coupled-cavity VCSEL. A feedback circuit can control operation of the coupled-cavity VCSEL so the output comprises a target high frequency signal.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing element-wise multi-vector multiplication. An example includes a waveguide to receive an input optical signal encoded with a first vector and output an output optical signal. One or more optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters are provided to receive one or more optical signals encoded with one or more vectors and generate one or more electrical signals based on the received one or more optical signals. One or more optical modulators are optically coupled to the waveguide and electrically coupled to the one or more O/E converters, the one or more optical modulators modulate an intensity of the input optical signal on the waveguide based on the one or more electrical signals. The output optical signal is encoded with a product of the first vector and the one or more vectors.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for achieving graceful bandwidth scaling (i.e. higher data transmission rates) for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and CWDM-4 technologies. Examples utilize a waveband architecture built around the CWDM wavelengths. This waveband architecture adds additional wavelength transmission channels (which may equate to faster data transmission rates) while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing CWDM/CWDM-4 technologies. Examples may include waveband devices (e.g. waveband light sources, waveband transmitters, waveband receivers, waveband transceivers, etc.) designed to operate with one or more CWDM wavebands while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing CWDM-4 technologies.
