    摘要: Methods, devices and systems for communication are disclosed. An example device can comprise a first waveguide portion disposed on a substrate, a second waveguide portion, and a third waveguide portion disposed between the first waveguide portion and the second waveguide portion. The third waveguide portion can be configured to carry a signal based on a refractive index of the third waveguide portion matching an effective refractive index of an optical mode of a combination of the first waveguide portion and the second waveguide portion.

    摘要: Methods and systems are described for adjusting an optical signal. An example device can comprise a plurality of waveguides. The device can comprise an interference structure optically coupled to the plurality of waveguides and configured to receive an optical signal and distribute the optical signal to the plurality of waveguides as a plurality of optical signals. The device can comprise a plurality of phase shifters coupled to corresponding waveguides of the plurality of waveguides and configured to adjust the phase of one or more of the plurality of optical signals. The device can comprise a plurality of emitters optically coupled to corresponding outputs of the plurality of phase shifters and configured to output the adjusted plurality of optical signals. The adjusted plurality of optical signals can be output as light patterns reconfigurable in at least one dimension.
