    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for a photonic apparatus with a photodetector with bias control to provide substantially constant responsivity. The apparatus includes a first photodetector, to receive an optical input and provide a corresponding electrical output; a second photodetector coupled with the first photodetector, wherein the second photodetector is free from receipt of the optical input; and circuitry coupled with the first and second photodetectors, to generate a bias voltage, based at least in part on a dark current generated by the second photodetector in an absence of the optical input, and provide the generated bias voltage to the first photodetector. The first photodetector is to provide a substantially constant ratio of the electrical output to optical input in response to the provision of the generated bias voltage. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a dynamic polarization controller (DPC) to receive a first light beam and a second light beam, to adjust a rotation of a state of polarization (SOP) of the first light beam and the second light beam to generate a third light beam and a fourth light beam, under the control of a first control signal, a second control signal, and a third control signal. The first control signal may be related to a phase difference between the third light beam and the fourth light beam, the second control signal may be related to an intensity difference between the third light beam and the fourth light beam, and the third control signal may be related to a rotation of a SOP of the third light beam and the fourth light beam. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
