    摘要: An apparatus comprises: a gain medium configured to be pumped by a pump source; a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) positioned in a laser cavity that includes the gain medium, the PIC comprising a substrate comprising silicon, a plurality of photonic structures, and one or more ports coupling an optical wave into the PIC, and coupling an optical wave out of the PIC; an optical isolator configured to limit propagation of an optical wave in a single direction through the optical isolator; and an output coupler configured to provide an output that comprises a fraction of the power of an optical wave that is incident upon the output coupler and to redirect remaining power of the optical wave around a closed path of the laser cavity, where the fraction is greater than 0.5.

    摘要: A display device that can display an image and make a background visible even when the image represented by a display gradation value and a transparency gradation value included in an image information signal is not within a displayable range is provided. Even when the image specified by the display gradation value and the transparency gradation value included in the image information signal is not within the displayable range, the display gradation value and the transparency gradation value can be adjusted by prioritizing the transparency gradation value or prioritizing the display gradation value. In this way, the display device can display the image, make the background transparent, and display the image and the background overlapping each other regardless of whether the image specified by the display gradation value and the transparency gradation value is within the displayable range.

    摘要: An optical phase modulator includes an input source that is configured to receive a light source. There is an output operative to provide a phase modulated output signal based on the received light source. There is a first optical coupler configured to split the light source into a first optical path of a Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and a second optical path of the MZI. A static phase shifter is configured to provide a static phase shift to the first optical path. There is a phase modulator in the second optical path. There is a second optical coupler configured to combine the first optical path and the second optical path. The first and second optical couplers are tuned such that the phase modulated optical signal at the output provides a substantially constant amplitude that is independent of a change in loss introduced by the phase modulator.
