摘要: A laser device based on silicon photonics with an in-cavity power monitor includes a gain chip mounted on a silicon photonics substrate and configured to emit light in an active region bounded between a frontend facet with low reflectivity and a backend facet with anti-reflective characteristics. The laser device further includes a wavelength tuner formed with waveguides in the silicon photonics substrate optically coupled to the backend facet to receive light from the gain chip and configured to have a reflector with high reflectivity to reflect the light in an extended cavity formed with the frontend facet through which a laser with a tuned wavelength and amplified power is outputted. Additionally, the laser device includes a photodiode formed in the silicon photonics substrate and coupled to the waveguides in the extended cavity right in front of the reflector to measure power of light thereof.

摘要: The present invention is directed to communication systems and methods. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides an optical receiver that receives a data stream from an optical transmitter. The optical receiver determines a histogram contour parameter using the data stream and inserts the histogram contour parameter into a back-channel data segment, which is then transmitted to the optical transmitter. The optical transmitter changes its data transmission setting based on the histogram contour parameter. There are other embodiments as well.

摘要: A silicon-based edge coupler for coupling a fiber with a waveguide includes a cantilever member being partially suspended with its anchored end coupled to a silicon photonics die in a first part of a silicon substrate and a free end terminated near an edge region separating a second part of the silicon substrate from the first part. The edge coupler further includes a mechanical stopper formed at the edge region with a gap distance ahead of the free end of the cantilever member. Additionally, a V-groove is formed in the second part of the silicon substrate characterized by a top opening and a bottom plane symmetrically connected by two sloped side walls along a fixed Si-crystallography angle. The V-groove is configured to support a fiber with an end facet being pushed against the mechanical stopper and a core center being aligned with the free end of the cantilever member.

摘要: The present invention is directed to a communication signal tracking system comprising an optical receiver including one or more delay line interferometers (DLIs) configured to demultiplex incoming optical signals and a transimpedance amplifier configured to convert the incoming optical signals to incoming electrical signals. The communication signal tracking system further includes a control module configured to calculate a bit-error-rate (BER) of the incoming electrical signals before forward-error correction decoding, and use the BER as a parameter for optimizing settings of the one or more DLIs in one or more iterations in a control loop and generating a back-channel data.
