Abstract: A first transmission line comprises a first pair of electrodes receiving an electrical drive comprising first and second drive signals, which are loaded by a first series of p-n junctions applying optical phase modulation to respective optical waves propagating over a first section of the first and second optical waveguide arms of an MZI. A second transmission line comprises a second pair of electrodes configured to receive the electrical drive after an electrical signal delay. The second pair of electrodes are loaded by a second series of p-n junctions applying optical phase modulation to the respective optical waves propagating over a second section of the first and second optical waveguide arms after propagation over the first section. An electrode extension structure provides the electrical drive to the second pair of electrodes, and comprises an unloaded transmission line portion imposing the electrical signal delay based on an optical signal delay.

Abstract: Systems and methods include obtaining a table having a plurality of addresses each having a plurality of attributes and classifications; responsive to a requirement to reduce a size of the table, reducing a number of the plurality of addresses based on one or more reduction approaches that use any of the plurality of attributes and classifications; and obtaining an output table having some or all of the plurality of addresses for a table receiver. The table can be obtained via control plane components including one or more of Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The requirement to reduce the size is based on a size of the table and a size of memory associated with the table receiver.

Abstract: Described herein is a phase frequency detector (PFD) with a wide operational range. The PFD includes a first flip-flop to receive a reference clock and generate a first output signal based on differences between the reference clock and a feedback clock, a second flip-flop to receive the feedback clock and generate a second output signal based on differences between the reference the feedback clocks, a reset processing path connected to the first flip-flop and second flip-flop, the reset processing path having a reset delay to control a pulse width of a reset signal associated with the first flip-flop and second flip-flop, and an output processing path connected to the first flip-flop and second flip-flop, the output processing path having an output delay to control a pulse width of the first output signal and the second output signal, where the reset processing path and the output processing path are delay independent.

Abstract: Systems and methods include creating a graph of a network having i) vertices representing ports, and ii) edges representing possible connections between vertices; receiving a request for one or more paths in the network; traversing the graph to determine the one or more paths; responsive to encountering a non-local constraint in the graph, adding a traversal state based thereon; and responsive to satisfying the non-local constraint in the graph, removing the traversal state based thereon.

Abstract: An optical modulator includes a rib; and a slab interconnected to both sides of the rib; wherein the rib is dimensioned relative to the slab to support guiding of a Transverse Magnetic (TM) mode with a main lobe that propagates orthogonal to the slab and with the main lobe substantially excluded from the slab. The rib guides wavelengths in an infrared range in the TM mode. A height of the rib, relative to the slab, is about half of a width of the rib, between the slab.

Abstract: Systems and methods for constrained path computation in networks with connectivity and resource availability rules build the necessary constraints directly into the routing graph so that all paths found are by construction satisfying of all the constraints. This is in contrast to the conventional approach of finding multiple paths and then applying the constraints. The present disclosure efficiently addresses the necessary constraints in the routing graph. Path Computation Engine (PCE) performance in terms of time to return acceptable paths to the user generically degrades as network scale (typically expressed through length and number of paths) increases. The present disclosure keeps the input graph small even though the graphs have expanded functionality to address constraints.

Abstract: A computing system includes a processing device and a memory device configured to store an Application Programming Interface (API) and computer software. The computer software has a plurality of software components configured to enable the processing device to utilize internal data for performing a plurality of functions. The API is configured to define interactions between the software components and is further configured to define access constraints with respect to the computing system. The access constraints are configured to restrict access by an end user associated with the computing system with respect to the internal data and software components. Also, the computer software is configured to adjust the access constraints of the API.
