    摘要: A system includes a first chiplet, a second chiplet, an electronic amplification module, and a converter module. The first chiplet includes, e.g., a network switch, a central processor unit, a graphics processor unit, a tensor processing unit, a neural network processor, an artificial intelligence accelerator, a digital signal processor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a data storage device. The second chiplet includes a photonic module having, e.g., optical switches, optical couplers, optical routers, optical splitters, optical multiplexers, optical demultiplexers, optical filters, optical modulators, optical phase shifters, lasers, optical amplifiers, optical-to-electrical signal converters, or electrical-to-optical signal converters. The electronic amplification module includes, e.g., a driver amplifier or a transimpedance amplifier, and configured to process electrical signals sent to or from the photonic module. The converter module converts signals between a first interface (for communicating with the first chiplet) and a second interface (for communicating with the electronic amplification module).

    摘要: An apparatus includes a pluggable optical module having a fiber connector, an optical module, a fiber harness, and an edge connector. The fiber connector optically couples to an optical fiber cable. The optical module includes a photonic integrated circuit having a first surface at which optical couplers are provided. The fiber harness optically couples the fiber connector and the first surface, and includes optical fibers and an optical fiber connector that optically couples the optical fibers to the first surface. The optical fiber connector includes a 2D arrangement of fiber ports that in combination with the optical couplers enable light signals to be transmitted between the photonic integrated circuit and the optical fibers. The edge connector includes conductive pads that electrically couple to conductive pads of a receptacle when the edge connector is mated with the receptacle. The conductive pads of the edge connector are electrically coupled to the optical module.

    摘要: Provided is an optical communication system comprising a polarization-diversity optical power supply capable of supplying light over a non-polarization-maintaining optical fiber to a polarization-sensitive modulation device. In an example embodiment, the polarization-diversity optical power supply operates to accommodate random polarization fluctuations within the non-polarization-maintaining optical fiber and enables an equal-power split at a passive polarization splitter preceding the polarization-sensitive modulation device.

    摘要: A system includes a housing and a first circuit board positioned inside the housing. The housing has a top panel, a bottom panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, a front panel, and a rear panel. The front panel is at an angle relative to the bottom panel in which the angle is in a range from 30 to 150°. The first circuit board has a length, a width, and a thickness, in which the length is at least twice the thickness, the width is at least twice the thickness, and the first circuit board has a first surface defined by the length and the width. The first surface of the first circuit board is at a first angle relative to the bottom panel in which the first angle is in a range from 30 to 150°. The first surface of the first circuit board is substantially parallel to the front panel or at a second angle relative to the front panel in which the second angle is less than 60°. The system includes a first data processing module and a first optical interconnect module both electrically coupled to the first circuit board. The optical interconnect module is configured to receive first optical signals from a first optical link, convert the first optical signals to first electrical signals, and transmit the first electrical signals to the first data processing module.

    摘要: A system includes a substrate on which a data processor and a connector block are mounted. The connector block has a first array of electrical connectors on a first surface, and a second array of electrical conducts on a second surface that is oriented at an angle between 45° to 135° relative to a main surface of the substrate. At least a portion of the first array of electrical connectors are electrically coupled to the data processor, and the second array of electrical contacts are electrically connected to the electrical contacts of a pluggable module. The pluggable module includes an optical module, at least one first optical connector, a first fiber optic cable optically coupled between the optical module and the first optical connector, and a fiber guide positioned between the optical module and the first optical connector and provides mechanical support for the optical module and the first optical connector.
