Abstract: An optical receiver, used in wavelength-division multiplexing, has multiple photodetectors per channel. The optical receiver comprises a demultiplexer to separate incoming light into different output waveguides, one output waveguide for each channel. A splitter is used in each output waveguide to split each output waveguide into two or more branches. A separate photodetector is coupled with each branch so that two or more photodetectors are used to measure each channel.

Abstract: A method of operating a BPSK modulator includes receiving an RF signal at the BPSK modulator and splitting the RF signal into a first portion and a second portion that is inverted with respect to the first portion. The method also includes receiving the first portion at a first arm of the BPSK modulator, receiving the second portion at a second arm of the BPSK modulator, applying a first tone to the first arm of the BPSK modulator, and applying a second tone to the second arm of the BPSK modulator. The method further includes measuring a power associated with an output of the BPSK modulator and adjusting a phase applied to at least one of the first arm of the BPSK modulator or the second arm of the BPSK modulator in response to the measured power.

Abstract: A waveguide mode expander couples a smaller optical mode in a semiconductor waveguide to a larger optical mode in an optical fiber. The waveguide mode expander comprises a shoulder and a ridge. In some embodiments, the ridge of the waveguide mode expander has a plurality of stages, the plurality of stages having different widths at a given cross section.

Abstract: A tunable laser has a first binary super grating (BSG), a second BSG, and a phase adjuster. The first BSG, the second BSG, and the phase adjuster are optically tuned by changing temperatures of respective heating elements. The tunable laser also includes three temperature sensors, a first sensor to measure the temperature of the first BSG; a second sensor to measure the temperature of the second BSG, and a third sensor to measure the temperature of the phase adjuster. A lasing frequency is determined by a set of values of the three temperature sensors. In some embodiments, instead of a third temperature sensor, a pilot tone is applied to the phase adjuster to lock to a maximum of an aligned pair of peaks.

Abstract: A widely tunable laser system includes a substrate, first and second lasers, an output and at least one optical combining device. The first laser is integrated with the substrate, includes a gain medium that includes a first material, and emits light at a wavelength that is tunable within a first wavelength range that is determined at least in part by the first material. The second laser is integrated with the substrate, includes a gain medium that includes a second material, and emits light at a wavelength that is tunable within a second wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range that is determined at least in part by the second material. The at least one optical combining device is configured to direct light from one or both of the first laser and the second laser to the output.

Abstract: A composite semiconductor laser is made by securing a III-V wafer to a transfer wafer. A substrate of the III-V wafer is removed, and the III-V wafer is etched into a plurality of chips while the III-V wafer is secured to the transfer wafer. The transfer wafer is singulated. A portion of the transfer wafer is used as a handle for bonding the chip in a recess of a silicon device. The chip is used as a gain medium for the semiconductor laser.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser has a mirror formed in a gain chip. The mirror can be placed in the gain chip to provide a broadband reflector to support multiple lasers using the gain chip. The mirror can also be placed in the gain chip to have the semiconductor laser be more efficient or more powerful by changing an optical path length of the gain of the semiconductor laser.
