    摘要: An optical modulator element includes a rib optical waveguide, a first thin film, a first high-concentration doped region, and a first metal electrode. The rib optical waveguide includes a rib portion having a PN junction, a P-type slab region connected to a P-type region of the rib portion, and an N-type slab region connected to an N-type region of the rib portion. The first thin film is formed on the P-type slab region and has electron affinity different from electron affinity of a material for the P-type slab region. The first high-concentration doped region is a region in the P-type slab region, the region being at a position separate from the rib portion. The first metal electrode is electrically connected to the first high-concentration doped region positioned outward in the P-type slab region having the first thin film formed over the P-type slab region.

    摘要: An optical module includes a transmitter assembly; a receiver assembly; and circuitry connected to the transmitter assembly and the receiver assembly, wherein the circuity is configured to, responsive to a test of delay in one or more of the transmitter assembly and the receiver assembly, store a delay value for one or more of the transmitter assembly and the receiver assembly, and, responsive to a query of the delay, provide the stored delay value for each of the transmitter assembly and the receiver assembly. The circuitry can be further configured to perform the test of delay via inserting an event that is used for timing detection at a corresponding receiver assembly.

    摘要: A 6.4 Tbps silicon-based photonics engine transceiver chip module for high-speed optical communication manufactured based on processing techniques of semiconductors such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and indium phosphide (InP). The photonics engine transceiver chip module uses a silicon photonic chip as a substrate, and optical chips of an InP laser and an optical amplifier are heterogeneously integrated with the silicon photonic chip through bonding or flip-chip soldering. As a pump light source, the laser generates a soliton-based optical frequency comb by using an ultra-low loss silicon nitride (SiN) resonator cavity, and can be used as a multi-wavelength laser. This reduces use of a single-wavelength laser chip, reduces a power consumption and heat conduction of a laser in an optical chip of a photonic engine, and improves an integration level of an optical device. The optical frequency comb generates an optical carrier with wide bandwidth coverage and a large quantity of wavelengths.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a first transmitter/receiver module having a housing defining a longitudinal axis and with opposed first and second longitudinal sides extending along the longitudinal axis. The housing includes a first interlocking structure disposed along the first longitudinal side and having a first power interface, a second interlocking structure disposed along the second longitudinal side and having a second power interface, and first and second signal connectors positioned at respective first and second ends of the housing. The first transmitter/receiver module is configured to assume a mated condition in stacked coupled relation with one or more additional transmitter/receiver modules through cooperative engagement of at least one of the first and second interlocking structures of the first transmitter/receiver module with corresponding complementary interlocking structure arranged on a longitudinal side of a housing of one of the additional transmitter/receiver modules.
