Abstract: Methods and systems of performing feed forward equalization (FFE) on data streams are described. A circuitry may generate staggered data streams from data streams of an input signal. The staggered data streams may include data in staggered unit intervals. The circuitry may include a plurality of segments. A segment may define a specific unit interval to carve the staggered data streams into one unit interval pulses positioned at the specific unit interval. The specific unit interval to carve the staggered data streams may indicate an assignment of the segment as one of a FFE pre tap, a FFE main tap, and a FFE post tap. The plurality of segments may be assigned to different FFE taps based on different clock signal selection defining different unit intervals to perform the carving. The plurality of segments may output respective one unit interval pulses to reproduce the input signal.

Abstract: A device and method of optical equalization using an optical modulator is provided. An electrical modulation signal is split into a first modulation signal and a second modulation signal. The second modulation signal is delayed relative to the first modulation signal. An amplitude of the second modulation signal is attenuated relative to the first modulation signal. The first modulation signal is applied to a first waveguide segment of the optical modulator. The second modulation signal that is delayed and attenuated relative to the first modulation signal is applied to a second waveguide segment of the optical modulator. Both the applied first and second modulation signals generate a feed-forward equalized optical signal that is recombined in the optical domain.

Abstract: A method and system of optical communication are provided. An optical modulator device includes a first and a second waveguide segment, and is configured to modulate an incident optical signal. A first feed-forward equalization (FFE) circuit including an inner first tap and an inner second tap, is configured to equalize the first waveguide segment. A second FFE circuit including a first inner tap and a second inner tap, is configured to equalize the second waveguide segment. An FFE recombination of the first inner tap and the second inner tap of the first and second FFE circuits, is in the electrical domain, respectively. An FFE recombination of the first and second modulation signals, operative to equalize a combination of the first second waveguide segments, is in the optical domain.

Abstract: Methods an systems for low-power transmission include biasing an emitter in a non-linear operating range of the emitter near a threshold current of the emitter. A data signal is distorted to add a precursor pulse to a rising edge of a data waveform to quickly bring the emitter into a linear operating range. The distorted data signal is transmitted at the emitter.

Abstract: A dual-use thermal and electro-optic modulator. A thermal adjustment hardware set and an electric-field adjustment hardware set adjust the thermal and electrostatic properties of a common waveguide area. The hardware sets are electrically coupled. Signals for each type of modulation are conducted to the waveguide through a shared portion of a communication medium.

Abstract: A circuit includes at least three equally weighted drivers; a state variable generator; and an element selector. The latter is coupled to the drivers, has a first input from the generator, has a second input including a plurality of input thermometer-encoded data streams, and has an output of an equal number of thermometer-encoded output data streams supplied to the drivers. The element selector maps the second input to the output dynamically based on a value of the first input from the state variable generator, with an update rate that is no more than one half of a symbol-rate. A serializer is configured to provide serialized data at the symbol rate, with output coupled to one of the second input of the element selector and input of the drivers. The drivers have outputs that are combined to produce an output of the circuit at the symbol rate.

Abstract: P and N termination networks couple a P line and an N line to corresponding receiver inputs. Each termination network includes an electrostatic discharge protection T-coil having an input port coupled to the corresponding line, a terminal port, and a center tap port. At least one of the termination networks further includes at least one delay T-coil having a terminal port, a center tap port, and an input port coupled to the terminal port of a corresponding one of the electrostatic discharge protection T-coils. In a no delay mode, a multiplexer selectively connects the P and N electrostatic discharge protection T-coil center tap ports to the P and N inputs of the receiver. In a delay mode, the multiplexer selectively connects the delay T-coil center tap port to a corresponding one of the P input of the receiver and the N input of the receiver.
