Abstract: Photonic and electronic integrated circuits can be cooled using variable conductance heat pipes containing a non-condensable gas in addition to a phase-changing working fluid. To package the heat pipe with a subassembly including the integrated circuits in a standard housing providing a heat sink contact area, the heat pipe is oriented, in some embodiments, with its axis between evaporator and condenser ends substantially perpendicular to the direction along which the integrated circuit subassembly is separated from the heat sink contact area, and a portion of the exterior surface of the heat pipe is thermally insulated, with a suitable thermal insulation structure, from the heat sink contact area.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, optical systems, and methods related to utilizing optical cladding layers. According to one embodiment, a hybrid optical device includes a silicon semiconductor layer and a III-V semiconductor layer having an overlapping region, wherein a majority of a field of an optical mode in the overlapping region is to be contained in the III-V semiconductor layer. A cladding region between the silicon semiconductor layer and the III-V semiconductor layer has a spatial property to substantially confine the optical mode to the III-V semiconductor layer and enable heat dissipation through the silicon semiconductor layer.

Abstract: An example photonic integrated circuit includes a transmitter circuit with a optical communication path to an optical coupler configured to couple with an optical fiber. The optical communication path has a propagation direction away from the transmitter circuit and towards the optical coupler. A counter-propagating tap diverts light sent by a light source backward against the propagation direction of the optical communication path. A photodiode receives the diverted light and measures its power level. The photodiode generates a feedback signal for the optical coupler and provides the feedback signal to the optical coupler. The optical coupler receives the feedback signal and adjusts a coupling alignment of the optical communication path to the optical fiber based on the feedback signal, which indicates the measured power level of the diverted counter-propagating light.

Abstract: Optical alignment of an optical connector to input/output couplers of a photonic integrated circuit can be achieved by first actively aligning the optical connector successively to two loopback alignment features formed in the photonic chip of the PIC, optically unconnected to the PIC, and then moving the optical connector, based on precise knowledge of the positions of the loopback alignment features relative to the input/output couplers of the PIC, to a position aligned with the input/output couplers of the PIC and locking it in place.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, optical systems, and methods for utilizing a dynamically reconfigurable optical transmitter. A laser array outputs a plurality of laser signals (which may further be modulated based on electrical signals), each of the plurality of laser signals having a wavelength, wherein the wavelength of each of the plurality of laser signals is tunable based on other electrical signals. An optical router receives the plurality of (modulated) laser signals at input ports and outputs the plurality of received (modulated) laser signals to one or more output ports based on the tuned wavelength of each of the plurality of received laser signals. This reconfigurable transmitter enables dynamic bandwidth allocation for multiple destinations via the tuning of the laser wavelengths.

Abstract: Photonically integrated normal incidence photodetectors (NIPDs) and associated in-plane waveguide structures optically coupled to the NIPDs can be configured to allow for both in-plane and normal-incidence detection. In photonic circuits with light-generation capabilities, such as integrated optical transceivers, the ability of the NIPDs to detect in-plane light is used, in accordance with some embodiments, to provide self-test functionality.
