Abstract: Optical circuits support reconfigurable spatial rearrangement (also referred to as “spatial multiplexing”) for a group of photons propagating in waveguides. According to some embodiments, a set of 2×2 muxes can be used to rearrange a pattern of photons on a first set of waveguides into a usable input pattern for a downstream optical circuit.

Abstract: A wavelength monitoring circuit obtains a light output proportional to only an input optical signal, independent of wavelength, by adding a light split circuit to the configuration in the related art, or changing the light split circuit to a light trifurcation circuit. In addition, wavelength monitoring with high accuracy is possible while improving the resistance to noise. The extraction of the light output proportional to only the input optical signal is performed by a light split circuit for input light at the top stage of the wavelength monitoring circuit or a light split circuit for interference in a stage in the middle of the circuit. The changed light split circuit causes the MZI included in the wavelength monitoring circuit to operate in a state of losing the balance of the configuration or the optical signal level, and increases the signal level near the bottom portion of the transmission characteristics.

Abstract: A super-compact arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) wavelength division multiplexer based on a sub-wavelength grating is provided and includes an input waveguide, a first planar waveguide, an arrayed waveguide, a second planar waveguide, and the output waveguide that are sequentially connected. The input waveguide has 1 port, and the output waveguide has 8 ports. The arrayed waveguide includes 50 equivalent uniform strip waveguides with the same length difference, and each of the equivalent uniform strip waveguides is configured as a sub-wavelength grating structure, thereby forming the effect of increasing group refractive index or transmission delay based on a slow light effect. The 8 channels with a channel spacing of 200 GHz have the minimum adjacent channel crosstalk of less than -27 dB, and the overall size is within 300×230 µm2. In the multiplexer, the overall integration size of the device is reduced by an order of magnitude.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of manufacturing optical engines and laser projectors that are well-suited for use in wearable heads-up displays (WHUDs) are described. Generally, the optical engines of the present disclosure integrate a plurality of laser diodes (e.g., 3 laser diodes, 4 laser diodes) within a single, hermetically or partially hermetically sealed, encapsulated package. A grating waveguide combiner comprising a plurality of waveguides having grating couplers thereon may be used to combine beams of light emitted by the plurality of laser diodes into a coaxially superimposed aggregate beam. Such optical engines may have advantages over existing designs including, for example, smaller volumes, better manufacturability, faster modulation speed, etc. WHUDs that employ such optical engines and laser projectors are also described.
