    Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for controlling output modulation amplitude for optoelectronic devices. In an example, a method includes transmitting a data pattern to an optical modulator device. The method also includes identifying, for each heater control value of a plurality of heater control values for a heater thermally coupled with the optical modulator device, an optical modulation amplitude corresponding to the heater control value based on a corresponding photodiode current value identified while transmitting the data pattern. The method also includes determining a maximum optical modulation amplitude for the optical modulator device based on a plurality of optical modulation amplitudes corresponding to the plurality of heater control values according to the identifying. The method also includes controlling the heater based at least in part on the determined maximum optical modulation amplitude that has been modified according to scaling maximum photodiode current values.

    Abstract: A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) device includes micro-ring modulators (MRMs) having radii under 5 micrometers. A 16-channel embodiment may provide a free spectral range of 3.2 THz, 200 GHz channel spacing, 41 GHz bandwidth, and a Q factor of 4500. PN junctions of rib ring waveguides (RWRs) may be perpendicular or parallel with a plane of the RWRs. On-chip inductive components may be used to match reactances of the PN junctions. The RWRs may be relatively wide and a rib bus waveguide may be relatively narrow (e.g., narrower than the RWRs). MRM outer slaps may be wider than inner slabs. Regions inside and outside of the RWRs, including slabs at optical coupling gaps may be doped to improve modulation efficiency. Regions of the rib bus waveguide distant from the optical coupling gaps may be undoped. Cavities may be provided below the MRMs and associated heater elements.

    Abstract: Clock generation circuitry includes quadrature locked loop circuitry having first injection locked oscillator circuitry, second injection locked oscillator circuitry, and XOR circuitry. The first injection locked oscillator circuitry receives a first input signal and a second input signal and outputs first clock signals. The first input signal and the second input signal correspond to a reference clock signal. The second injection locked oscillator circuitry is coupled to outputs of the first injection locked oscillator circuitry, and receives the first clock signals and generates second clock signals. The XOR circuitry receives the second clock signals and generates a first clock signal, a second clock signal, a third clock signal, and a fourth clock signal. The frequencies of the first clock signal, the second clock signal, the third clock signal, and the fourth clock signal are greater than the frequency of the reference clock signal.
