Abstract: The invention describes an integrated-photonics arrangement, implementable in a multi-guide vertical integration (MGVI) structure composed from III-V semiconductors and grown in one epitaxial growth run, allowing for the integration of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and PIN photodetector (PIN) structures within a common wavelength-designated waveguide of the plurality of the vertically integrated wavelength-designated waveguides forming the MGVI structure. The integration includes a wavelength filter integrated between the SOA and PIN to reduce noise within the PIN arising from ASE generated by the SOA. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, the wavelength filter is integrated into MGVI structure either within a common wavelength designated waveguide or within the wavelength-designated waveguide. Further in other embodiments the wavelength filter is provided by a thin-film filter abutting a facet of the integrated-photonics arrangement wherein optical signals are coupled by optical waveguides and/or additional optical elements such as a multimode interference device.

Abstract: In a ridge waveguide serial interferometer mode conversion is induced by a first mode conversion section, a phase difference between modes is introduced by propagation over a length of waveguide and optical interference is produced following further mode conversion induced in a second mode conversion section. The first mode conversion section has a first radius of curvature, which is equal to a second radius of curvature of the second mode conversion section. The ridge waveguide interferometer advantageously provides an equal phase dependency as a function of temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of improving the performance of optical receivers within optical transceivers by compensating for crosstalk, both optical and electrical. Optical crosstalk may arise within the optical receiver from a variety of sources including directly from the optical emitter within, indirectly from the optical emitter via losses, and losses of other received wavelengths within the optical transceiver coupled to the optical receiver. Electrical crosstalk may arise for example between the electrical transmission lines of the optical transmitter and optical receiver. The method comprises providing a secondary optical receiver in predetermined location to the primary optical receiver, the optical receivers being electrically coupled such that the crosstalk induced photocurrent in the secondary optical receiver is subtracted from the photocurrent within the primary optical receiver. The method may be applicable to either monolithic and hybrid optical transceivers.

Abstract: A container for feminine hygiene products. The container is designed to hold feminine hygiene products and to be placed on the side of a toilet or other vertical surface. The container has a body compartment, a mounting assembly, a top lid, a hinge, and a latch. The body compartment has an open top and is sized to hold a variety of tampons. The lid is operatively connected to the body by the hinge and closes to cover the open top of the body. The hinge is biased to keep the lid in an open position. The latch releasably secures the top lid in the closed position. The mounting assembly, such as suction cups, allows the container to be secured to the side of a toilet. In that position, the container provides feminine hygiene products easily accessible to a female user.
