    摘要: In part, in one aspect, the disclosure relates to a system including an integrated optical multiplexer. The integrated optical multiplexer may include a plurality of optical inputs configured and constructed to receive input optical signals; two or more stages of multiplexing in a cascading configuration, wherein the two or more stages of multiplexing are divided into wavelength stages and a last stage, wherein each of the wavelength stages combine subsets of input optical signals by wavelength, the last stage combines input optical signals by polarization using a polarization beam combiner, and at a combined output of the integrated optical multiplexer a first subset of the input optical signals have a different polarization than a second subset of the input optical signals.

    摘要: An integrated wavelength division multiplexer is described. The integrated wavelength division multiplexer may include a first waveguide core defining a first propagation axis and configured to guide light of a first wavelength and light of a second wavelength, and a second waveguide core defining a second propagation axis and configured to guide the light of the second wavelength. A first portion of the second propagation axis for which the first waveguide core and second waveguide core may be overlapping is oriented at a non-zero angle relative to the first propagation axis. The first waveguide core and second waveguide core may be configured relative to each other to adiabatically couple the light of the second wavelength between the first and second waveguide cores.

    摘要: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) coupled to a substrate may be aligned with receptacles having guide pin structures configured to receive guide pins attached to a fiber assembly. The receptacles may be affixed to a surface of the substrate and/or the PIC to permit the fiber assembly to be removed during a solder reflow process while maintaining the alignment of the fiber assembly to the PIC when reconnected following the solder reflow process.

    摘要: An optical Mach Zehnder modulator is described. The optical Mach Zehnder modulator may comprise a plurality of segments separated by curved waveguides. For example, an optical Mach Zehnder modulator may comprise a first waveguide arm having a first pn-junction formed therein, a second waveguide arm having a second pn-junction formed therein, a third waveguide arm coupled to the first waveguide arm via a first curved waveguide and a fourth waveguide arm coupled to the second waveguide arm via a second curved waveguide. The segments may have the same polarities. Alternatively, the segments may have opposite polarities. The different segments may be driven using different RF signals. The RF signals may be delayed from one another.

    摘要: Disclosed are designs and methods of fabrication of silicon carrier-depletion based electro-optical modulators having doping configurations that produce modulators exhibiting desirable modulation efficiency, optical absorption loss and bandwidth characteristics. The disclosed method of fabrication of a modulator having such doping configurations utilizes counter doping to create narrow regions of relatively high doping levels near a waveguide center.
