摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementing high-radix switch topologies on relatively lower-radix physical networks. In one embodiment, the method comprises constructing the physical network (702) composed of one or more optical switches connected via one or more waveguides. A desired switch topology (704) is then designed for implementation on the physical network. The switch topology is then overlain on the switch network by configuring the optical switches and waveguides (706) to implement the switch topology on the physical network. The optical switches can be reconfigured following a transmission over the physical network and can be configured to implement circuit switching or packet switch.

A system employs a flexible optical media, two connectors, and a mechanism such as a magnet that brings the connector together when the connectors are close to each other. The optical media is able to guide optical signals, and one connector is attached to an end of the optical media. Each connector also has alignment features and provides paths for the optical signals. The alignment features of each connector are shaped to mate with the alignment features of the other connector and to shift the connectors relative to each other as the mechanism pushes the connector together. The alignment features further have seated positions at which the paths in one connector are aligned with the paths in the other connector and separated by a free space gap.

Systems and methods are provided for modulating, channels in dense wavelength division multiplexing (“DWDM”) systems. In one aspect, a modulation and wavelength division multiplexing system includes a channel source and a waveguide tree structure disposed on a substrate. The tree structure includes waveguides branching from a root waveguide. The waveguides include two or more terminus waveguides coupled to the channel source. The system also includes one or more modulator arrays disposed on the substrate. Each modulator array is optically coupled to one of the two or more terminus waveguides and is configured to modulate channels injected into a terminus waveguide from the channel source to produce corresponding optical signals that propagate from the terminus waveguide along one or more of the waveguides to the root waveguide.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for achieving low-latency, prioritized, distributed optical-base arbitration. In one embodiment, an optical arbitration system (100,1100) comprises a waveguide (102,1102) having a first end and a second end, and a source (104,1104) optically coupled to the first end of the waveguide and configured to input at least one wavelength of light into the waveguide. The system also includes a number of wavelength selective elements (106-109,1106-1109) optically coupled to the waveguide. Each wavelength selective element is capable of extracting a wavelength of light from the waveguide when activated by an electronically coupled node. An arbiter (110,116,120,1112,1116,1120) is optically coupled to the second end of the waveguide and to the waveguide between the source and a wavelength selective element located closest to the source along the waveguide.
摘要:
A synchronous optical bus system for communication between computer system components is described. In one example, the optical bus system is used for communication between a memory controller and memory devices optically coupled to an optical interconnect. Optical bus interface units couple the components to the optical interconnect and are arranged on the optical interconnect in order that a sum of an optical path length from a controller component to each computer system component and from each computer system component to the controller component is the same for all the coupled computer system components. A synchronous protocol is used for communication between the components.

A hybrid electro-optical package for an opto-electronic engine. The package includes a carrier substrate, and a package base. Electrical vias and an optical via of the carrier substrate communicate between a back side and a front side of the carrier substrate. The package base is coupled to the carrier substrate by intra-package electrical interconnects. The carrier substrate is to interconnect electrically with an opto-electronic component mounted on its back side, and includes an optical aperture at its front side for communication of optical signals. Similarly, lands disposed at a front side of the package base provide for communication of electrical signals to an integrated circuit and the opto-electronic component. A system and an opto-electronic engine that include the hybrid electro-optical package are also provided.
