    Abstract: An optical receiver is disclosed, including an optoelectronic detector, a transimpedance amplification (TIA) circuit, a single-ended-to-differential converter, an I/O interface, and a controller. The optoelectronic detector, having bandwidth lower than required system transmission bandwidth, converts an optical signal into a current signal. The TIA circuit compensate gain for the received current signal based on a received control signal, to obtain a voltage signal, where a frequency response value of the current signal within first bandwidth is greater than that within the bandwidth of the optoelectronic detector, and any frequency in the first bandwidth is not lower than an upper cut-off frequency of the optoelectronic detector. The single-ended-to-differential converter converts the voltage signal into a differential voltage signal. The I/O interface outputs the differential voltage signal. The controller generates the control signal based on the differential voltage signal. The optical receiver disclosed can reduce costs while ensuring signal quality.

    Abstract: Examples of a polarization independent optical device are described. One example polarization independent optical device includes an input/output preprocessing optical path and M add/drop optical paths. Any add/drop optical path can be configured to drop a first QTE and a first PTE that meet a resonance condition of a microring included in the add/drop optical path such that each add/drop optical path can be configured to drop a desired optical signal. Any add/drop optical path can also be configured to transmit an input optical signal to the input/output preprocessing optical path. Therefore, when any of the M add/drop optical paths is configured to drop a desired optical signal, another add/drop optical path can be configured to add a desired optical signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a passive optical network communications method and apparatus, and a system. The method includes: determining a wavelength channel group of an optical network unit (ONU) and a wavelength channel in the wavelength channel group; and sending a first message to the ONU, where the first message carries identification information of the wavelength channel group and identification information of the wavelength channel in the wavelength channel group. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, such a logical channel group as a wavelength channel group is established, and when a channel in a channel group is faulty, a scheduling module of an OLT can rapidly and easily reallocate a service to another member in the channel group, so that channel interaction is avoided. Therefore, bandwidth scheduling efficiency and bandwidth utilization of a PON system are higher.

    Abstract: An electro-optic modulator includes an input waveguide, a beam splitter connected to the input waveguide, a modulation arm that is disposed on each branch of the beam splitter and modulates a signal. Each modulation arm is correspondingly disposed with a first layer electrode and a second layer electrode. The first layer electrode is a high-frequency traveling wave electrode and is configured to change carrier concentration in the modulation arm, the second layer electrode is a direct current electrode having an inductor function, and an inductor formed in the second layer electrode is connected to the first layer electrode. The electro-optic modulator has functions of a bias tee, so that integration of the electro-optic modulator can be improved without affecting its performance. High-density packaging layout difficulty and cabling pressure can be effectively reduced, and cabling and packaging of a multi-channel high-speed signal on a base board can be implemented.

    Abstract: A multi-wavelength laser is provided, including a reference wavelength-tunable laser, N−1 secondary wavelength-tunable lasers, N beam splitters, a phase modulator, and N−1 frequency difference detection apparatuses. The reference wavelength-tunable laser is connected to one beam splitter which includes two output ports, and one of the output ports is connected to the phase modulator. The phase modulator is separately connected to the N−1 frequency difference detection apparatuses. The N−1 secondary wavelength-tunable lasers one-to-one correspond to remaining N−1 beam splitters and the N−1 frequency difference detection apparatuses. The secondary wavelength-tunable laser is connected to a corresponding beam splitter, the corresponding beam splitter includes two output ports, and one of the output ports is connected to a corresponding frequency difference detection apparatus. N is a positive integer not less than 2. A multi-wavelength optical signal generated by the phase modulator has a precise frequency spacing.
