Abstract: A system for integrated power combiners is disclosed and may include receiving optical signals in input optical waveguides and phase-modulating the signals to configure a phase offset between signals received at a first optical coupler, where the first optical coupler may generate output signals having substantially equal optical powers. Output signals of the first optical coupler may be phase-modulated to configure a phase offset between signals received at a second optical coupler, which may generate an output signal having an optical power of essentially zero and a second output signal having a maximized optical power. Optical signals received by the input optical waveguides may be generated utilizing a polarization-splitting grating coupler to enable polarization-insensitive combining of optical signals. Optical power may be monitored using optical detectors. The monitoring of optical power may be used to determine a desired phase offset between the signals received at the first optical coupler.

Abstract: Methods and systems for stabilized directional couplers are disclosed and may include a system comprising first and second directional couplers formed by first and second waveguides, where one of the waveguides may comprise a length extender between the directional couplers. The directional couplers may be formed by reduced spacing between the waveguides on opposite sides of the length extender. An input optical signal may be communicated into one of the waveguides, where at least a portion of the input optical signal may be coupled between the waveguides in the first directional coupler and at least a portion of the coupled optical signal may be coupled between the waveguides in the second directional coupler. Optical signals may be communicated out of the system with magnitudes at a desired percentage of the input optical signal. The length extender may add phase delay for signals in one of the first and second waveguides.

Abstract: A method and system for integrated power combiners are disclosed and may include a chip comprising a polarization controller, the polarization controller comprising an input optical waveguide, optical couplers, and a polarization-splitting grating coupler. The chip may be operable to: generate two output signals from a first optical coupler that receives an input signal from said input optical waveguide, phase modulate one or both of the two output signals to configure a phase offset between the two generated output signals before communicating signals with the phase offset to a second optical coupler. One or both optical signals generated by said second optical coupler may be phase modulated to configure a phase offset between signals communicated to the polarization-splitting grating coupler; and an optical signal of a desired polarization may be launched into an optical fiber via the polarization-splitting grating coupler by combining the signals communicated to the polarization-splitting grating coupler.
