    摘要: Example optical devices having a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with improved linearity are presented. An example optical device may include an MZI and a microring resonator (MRR) optically coupled to any one of a first optical waveguide arm or a second optical waveguide arm, where the MRR is operable in a resonance state and in an off-resonance state during operation of the optical device. The MZI includes a length difference between the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm thereby achieving a quarter-period phase delay between optical signals of the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm such that a superlinear transmission region of the microring resonator is aligned with peaks of an optical output of the MZI improving linearity of the optical output of the MZI.

    摘要: An example system for multi-wavelength optical signal splitting is disclosed. The example disclosed herein comprises a first splitter, a second splitter, and a modulator. The system receives a multi-wavelength optical signal and an electrical signal, wherein the multi-wavelength optical signal comprises a plurality of optical wavelengths and has a power level. The first splitter is to split the plurality of optical wavelengths into a plurality of optical wavelength groups. The second splitter is to split the multi-wavelength optical signal or the plurality of optical wavelength groups into a plurality of lower power signal groups. The modulator is to encode the electrical signal into the plurality of optical wavelength groups, the plurality of lower power signal groups, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: Examples described herein relate to reducing a magnitude of a supply voltage for a circuit element of an optical transmitter device. In some such examples, the circuit element is a driving element that is to receive a first electrical data signal and to provide a second electrical data signal to an optical element that is to provide an optical data signal. A testing element is to compare the optical data signal to the first electrical data signal to determine whether the optical transmitter device meets a performance threshold. When the device meets the performance threshold, a regulating element is to reduce a magnitude of the supply voltage of the driving element.

    摘要: A photonic integrated circuit package includes two arrays or sets of integrated comb laser modules that are bonded to a silicon interposer. Each comb laser of an array has a common or overlapping spectral range, with each laser in the array being optically coupled to a local optical bus. The effective spectral range of the lasers in each array are different, or distinct, as to each array. An optical coupler is disposed within the silicon interposer and is optically coupled to each of the local optical buses. An ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) is bonded to the silicon interposer and provides control and operation of the comb laser modules.
