    Abstract: The device includes an optical waveguide on a base. The waveguide is configured to guide a light signal through a light-transmitting medium. A light sensor is also positioned on the base. The light sensor including a ridge extending from slab regions. The slab regions are positioned on opposing sides of the ridge. A light-absorbing medium is positioned to receive at least a portion of the light signal from the light-transmitting medium included in the waveguide. The light-absorbing medium is included in the ridge and also in the slab regions. The light-absorbing medium includes doped regions positioned such that an application of a reverse bias across the doped regions forms an electrical field in the light-absorbing medium included in the ridge.

    Abstract: The system includes a light-transmitting medium positioned on a base. The light-transmitting medium included a ridge and a slab region. The ridge extends upward from the slab region and defines a portion of a waveguide on the base. The waveguide is configured to guide a light signal through the device. The device also includes an avalanche effect light sensor positioned on the base and configured to detect the presence of the light signal. The light sensor includes a light-absorbing medium positioned on the ridge of the light-transmitting medium such that the light signal is coupled from the light-transmitting medium into the light- absorbing medium. The light-transmitting includes a charge layer located at an interface of the light-transmitting medium and the light-absorbing medium. A multiplication region is formed in the slab regions of the light-transmitting medium such that the multiplication region receives charge carriers from the charge layer during the operation of the light sensor.

    Abstract: The ring resonator includes waveguides configured to guide light signals. The waveguides include an input waveguide and one or more loop waveguides. One of the loop waveguides is a primary loop waveguide that is optically coupled with the input waveguide at a wavelength of light. A tuner is configured to tune the wavelength at which the light is optically coupled from the input waveguide into the primary loop waveguide. One or more light detectors are each configured to provide an output indicating an intensity of light guided in one of the one or more loop waveguides. Electronics are configured to tune the tuner in response to the output from the light detector.
