    Abstract: An example method for clock and data recovery (CDR) includes generating, in a set of slicers of a receiver, in addition to a data signal and a first error signal, at least one additional error signal. The method further includes receiving, at a frequency detector (FD) of a CDR unit of the receiver, the data signal, the first error signal, and the at least one additional error signal, and processing them to generate a FD output. The method still further includes multiplying the FD output by a user-defined FD gain, and adding the FD output, as multiplied by the FD gain, in a frequency path of the CDR unit.

    Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for controlling output modulation amplitude for optoelectronic devices. In an example, a method includes transmitting a data pattern to an optical modulator device. The method also includes identifying, for each heater control value of a plurality of heater control values for a heater thermally coupled with the optical modulator device, an optical modulation amplitude corresponding to the heater control value based on a corresponding photodiode current value identified while transmitting the data pattern. The method also includes determining a maximum optical modulation amplitude for the optical modulator device based on a plurality of optical modulation amplitudes corresponding to the plurality of heater control values according to the identifying. The method also includes controlling the heater based at least in part on the determined maximum optical modulation amplitude that has been modified according to scaling maximum photodiode current values.

    Abstract: A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) device includes micro-ring modulators (MRMs) having radii under 5 micrometers. A 16-channel embodiment may provide a free spectral range of 3.2 THz, 200 GHz channel spacing, 41 GHz bandwidth, and a Q factor of 4500. PN junctions of rib ring waveguides (RWRs) may be perpendicular or parallel with a plane of the RWRs. On-chip inductive components may be used to match reactances of the PN junctions. The RWRs may be relatively wide and a rib bus waveguide may be relatively narrow (e.g., narrower than the RWRs). MRM outer slaps may be wider than inner slabs. Regions inside and outside of the RWRs, including slabs at optical coupling gaps may be doped to improve modulation efficiency. Regions of the rib bus waveguide distant from the optical coupling gaps may be undoped. Cavities may be provided below the MRMs and associated heater elements.

    Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for a heterogeneous integration module (HIM) that includes a thermal management apparatus. In an example, an apparatus (e.g., a HIM) includes a wiring substrate, a first component, a second component, and a thermal management apparatus. The first component and the second component are communicatively coupled together via the wiring substrate. The thermal management apparatus is in thermal communication with the first component and the second component. The thermal management apparatus has a first thermal energy flow path for dissipating thermal energy generated by the first component and has a second thermal energy flow path for dissipating thermal energy generated by the second component. The first thermal energy flow path has a lower thermal resistivity than the second thermal energy flow path.
