Abstract: An example system may include a first vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) that includes a first integrated polarization locking structure to produce a polarized optical data signal. The system may also comprise a second VCSEL that includes a second integrated polarization locking structure, the second integrated polarization locking structure orthogonal to the first integrated polarization locking structure, to produce an orthogonally polarized optical data signal. Lenses may be disposed on the substrate opposite the first VCSEL, to collimate the polarized optical data signal, and opposite the second VCSEL to collimate the orthogonally polarized optical data signal. A polarization division multiplexer may combine the first collimated polarized optical data signal and the second collimated orthogonally polarized optical data signal.

Abstract: Example optical devices having a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with improved linearity are presented. An example optical device may include an MZI and a microring resonator (MRR) optically coupled to any one of a first optical waveguide arm or a second optical waveguide arm, where the MRR is operable in a resonance state and in an off-resonance state during operation of the optical device. The MZI includes a length difference between the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm thereby achieving a quarter-period phase delay between optical signals of the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm such that a superlinear transmission region of the microring resonator is aligned with peaks of an optical output of the MZI improving linearity of the optical output of the MZI.

Abstract: An example optical system having an electro-optical (EO) logic gate connected to a controller is presented. The controller modulates a first encoded electrical signal and a second encoded electrical signal based on an operation selection input. The EO logic gate includes a first Mach Zehnder interferometer (MZI) coupled between an optical input port and an optical output port; a second MZI optically coupled in parallel with the first MZI; a first phase shifter adjacent to the first MZI and; and a second phase shifter adjacent to the second MZI. The phase shifters apply phase shifts to the optical signals propagating via the first and second MZIs based on the modulated first encoded electrical signal and the modulated second encoded electrical signal to cause an optical output at the optical output port to vary based on the logic operation of the first encoded electrical signal and the second encoded electrical signal.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an optical device that entails phase shifting an optical signal. The optical device includes an optical waveguide having a first semiconductor material region and a second semiconductor material region formed adjacent to each other and defining a junction therebetween. Further, the optical device includes an insulating layer formed on top of the optical waveguide. Moreover, the optical device includes a III-V semiconductor layer formed on top of the insulating layer causing an optical mode of an optical signal passing through the optical waveguide to overlap with the first semiconductor material region, the second semiconductor material region, the insulating layer, and the III-V semiconductor layer thereby resulting in a phase shift in the optical signal passing through the optical waveguide.

Abstract: An example Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is provided. The MZI includes a first waveguide arm and a second waveguide arm coupled to the first waveguide arm via a pair of optical couplers. In the proposed MZI, at least one of the first waveguide arm and the second waveguide arm includes a plurality of Bragg-grating segments and a phase-shifter segment formed between adjacent Bragg-grating segments of the plurality of Bragg-grating segments. The phase-shifter segment formed between adjacent Bragg-grating segments induces a predefined phase-shift in an optical signal propagating through respective at least one of the first waveguide arm and the second waveguide arm, resulting in increased linearity an optical transmission via the MZI.

Abstract: An example optical device, such as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is presented. The MZI includes a plurality of optical waveguide arms. At least one of the plurality of optical waveguide arms comprises a control gate, an optical waveguide, and a floating gate positioned between the control gate and the optical waveguide and electrically isolated from the optical waveguide and the control gate. The control gate receives a control voltage. The application of the control voltage to the control gate causes charges to accumulate in the floating gate resulting in a non-volatile change in an operating wavelength of the MZI.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an optical device. The optical device includes a first microring resonator (MRR) laser having a first resonant frequency and a first free spectral range (FSR). The first FSR is greater than a channel spacing of the optical device. Further, the optical device includes a first frequency-dependent filter formed along a portion of the first MRR laser via a common bus waveguide to attenuate one or more frequencies different from the first resonant frequency. A length of the common bus waveguide is chosen to achieve a second FSR of the common bus waveguide to be substantially equal to the channel spacing to enable a single-mode operation for the optical device. Moreover, the optical device includes a first reflector formed at a first end of the common bus waveguide to enhance a unidirectionality of optical signal within the first MRR laser.
