    Abstract: An apparatus includes an optical circuit having at least one reconfigurable beamsplitter and is configured to receive a plurality of input optical modes in a Gaussian state and generate a plurality of output optical modes. The apparatus also includes at least one detector optically coupled with the optical circuit and configured to perform a non-Gaussian measurement of a first output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes. The non-Gaussian measurement of the first output optical mode is configured to cause a second output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes to be in a first non-Gaussian state. The apparatus also includes a controller operatively coupled to the optical circuit and configured to change a setting of the at least one reconfigurable beamsplitter to cause the second output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes to be in a second non-Gaussian state.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a thermal stabilization circuit including a heater, which is adjacent and thermally coupled to a closed-curve waveguide of an optical ring resonator, and an analog feedback circuit, which includes a fully autonomous analog feedback loop from a drop port of a bus waveguide of the optical ring resonator to the heater. This analog feedback circuit is configured to dynamically control the electrical power provided to the heater and, thereby to dynamically control the thermal output of the heater in order to tune the ring resonance wavelength to the operating laser wavelength. The analog feedback circuit is further configured to be independent of input power, to be power efficient, to have a relatively small footprint, to have a tunable time constant and to facilitate adjustable wavelength locking. Also disclosed is a device (e.g., a ring-based transceiver or the like), which includes multiple optical ring resonators and corresponding thermal stabilization circuits.

    Abstract: A tunable light source includes a substrate; a light source; a wavelength selecting device that selects, according to a control signal, output light with a specific wavelength from light output from the light source; a wavelength filter that is disposed on the substrate, filters the output light, and outputs the filtered light; a light-receiving device that receives the filtered light from the wavelength filter; and a controller configured to generate the control signal based on an output transmittance corresponding to a quantity of the received light received by the light-receiving device, a first transmittance corresponding to a target wavelength, a second transmittance corresponding to a shorter-wavelength limit of a control range including the target wavelength, and a third transmittance corresponding to a longer-wavelength limit of the control range, and output the generated control signal to the wavelength selecting device.

    Abstract: In an optical device, a ring-resonator modulator, having an adjustable resonance (center) wavelength, receives an optical signal that includes a carrier wavelength from an input-output optical waveguide. Then, a monitoring mechanism monitors a performance metric (such as an average power or a signal swing) of a monitor optical signal from the ring-resonator modulator. Moreover, control logic in the optical device adjusts the resonance wavelength based on the monitored performance metric so that the resonance wavelength is locked to the carrier wavelength. In particular, the control logic may apply a change to an adjustment signal that is provided to the ring-resonator modulator. If the change increases the performance metric, the control logic may continue to modify the resonance wavelength. Otherwise, the control logic may modify the resonance wavelength by applying one or more changes, having an opposite sign to the change, to the adjustment signal.
