Abstract: An optical modulator uses an optoelectronic phase comparator configured to provide, in the form of an electrical signal, a measure of a phase difference between two optical waves. The phase comparator includes an optical directional coupler having two coupled channels respectively defining two optical inputs for receiving the two optical waves to be compared. Two photodiodes are configured to respectively receive the optical output powers of the two channels of the directional coupler. An electrical circuit is configured to supply, as a measure of the optical phase shift, an electrical signal proportional to the difference between the electrical signals produced by the two photodiodes.

Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus includes a serializer, a re-timing buffer coupled to the serializer, and a plurality of segments coupled to the re-timing buffer. The plurality of segments may be used for controlling a timing of an electrical signal. Each one of the plurality of segments may include a segment serializer, a timing control coupled to the segment serializer and a driver coupled to the timing control. In addition, a phase clock may be coupled to the segment serializer and the timing control of each one of the plurality of segments.

Abstract: Mach-Zehnder interferometers comprise heater elements configured to have projections in the plane of optical waveguides positioned such that two adjacent sections of one optical waveguide arms are heated by a common heater element. The heater and at least a substantial section of the heated waveguide segments can be curved. Configurations of an optical waveguide arm can comprise an outer curved heated section, an inner curved heated section, and a loopback waveguide section connecting the outer curved heated section and the inner curved heated section, with average radius of curvature selected to form an open accessible space. Appropriate configurations of the two optical waveguide arms provide for nested configurations of the arms that provide for a compact structure for the interferometer.

Abstract: A monostatic optical system adaptable for use as a circulator in a LiDAR system wherein the monostatic optical system includes a photonic integrated circuit and a first light detector. The photonic integrated circuit includes a nonlinear optical device. For example, the device may be a ring resonator or a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Transmitted light pulses are of sufficient power to alter the optical characteristics of the nonlinear optical device, whereas received reflected light is of low power thereby traveling on a different path to the first light detector. A feedback monitor and tuner may be included to tune the optical characteristics of the nonlinear optical device.

An optical modulator includes first and second optical waveguides, a first signal electrode that inputs a first high frequency signal into the first optical waveguide, a second signal electrode that inputs a second high frequency signal having a reverse phase with respect to a phase of the first high frequency signal into the second optical waveguide, a first terminating resistor connected to the first signal electrode at a terminating part side, a second terminating resistor connected to the second signal electrode at a terminating part side, a connection point that connects the first and second signal electrodes via the first and second terminating resistors, and a direct current voltage supply connected to the connection point. A resistance value of the first terminating resistor is equal to characteristic impedance of the first signal electrode. A resistance value of the second terminating resistor is equal to characteristic impedance of the second signal electrode.

Abstract: An optical transmitter includes, an optical modulator that multilevel-modulates light outputted from a light source, and a processor that outputs a first drive voltage for driving the optical modulator according to an amplitude component when transmission data is symbol-mapped and a second drive voltage for driving the optical modulator according to a phase component when the transmission data is symbol-mapped. A phase shift of phase modulation by the second drive voltage outputted from the processor is greater than 0 and less than π/2.
