Abstract: An optical transmitter includes a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) coupled to an input end of a first optical waveguide. An end of the first optical waveguide provides a transmitter output for the optical transmitter. Moreover, a section of the first optical waveguide between the input end and the output end is optically coupled to a ring modulator that modulates an optical signal based on an electrical input signal. A passive ring filter (or a 1×N silicon-photonic switch and a bank of band reflectors) is connected to provide a mirror that reflects light received from the second optical waveguide back toward the RSOA to form a lasing cavity. Moreover, the ring modulator and the passive ring filter have different sizes, which causes a Vernier effect that provides a large wavelength tuning range for the lasing cavity in response to tuning the ring modulator and the passive ring filter.

Abstract: An integrated circuit that includes a wavelength-filter layer stack (which may include silicon oxynitride) and an optical substrate (such as a silicon-on-insulator platform) is described. During operation, an optical signal received from an optical fiber or an optical waveguide is wavelength filtered into a set of wavelength-filter optical waveguides by an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer (such as an Echelle grating and/or an array waveguide grating) in the wavelength-filter layer stack. Then, wavelength-filtered optical signals are optically coupled to the optical substrate, where they are received using photodetectors. Alternatively, modulators in the optical substrate modulate wavelength-filtered modulated optical signals, which are then optically coupled to the set of wavelength-filter optical waveguides in the wavelength-filter layer stack. Next, the wavelength-filtered modulated optical signals are combined using the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer, and the resulting optical signal is output to the optical fiber or the optical waveguide.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is described. This PIC includes a grating coupler for surface-normal coupling that has an alternating pattern of grating teeth and grating trenches, where the grating trenches are filled with an electro-optical material. By applying an electric potential to the grating teeth, the index of refraction of the electro-optical material can be modified.

Abstract: A hybrid optical source that provides an optical signal having a wavelength is described. This hybrid optical source comprises an optical amplifier (such as a III-V semiconductor optical amplifier) that is butt-coupled or vertically coupled to a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, and which outputs an optical signal. The SOI platform comprises an optical waveguide that conveys the optical signal. A temperature-compensation element included in the optical waveguide compensates for temperature dependence of the indexes of refraction of the optical amplifier and the optical waveguide. In addition, a reflector, included in or in-line with the optical waveguide and after the temperature-compensation element, reflects a portion of the optical signal and transmits another portion of the optical signal that has the wavelength.
