    Abstract: A sensor includes, in part, a multitude of splitters/couplers and optical couplers. One of the splitter/couplers splits an incoming optical signal into first and second optical signals. A first optical coupler includes, in part, a through path receiving the first signal, a coupled path, and an exposure window receiving a sample undergoing sensing by the sensor. The second optical coupler includes, in part, a through path receiving the second signal, and a coupled path. A first output port of the sensor supplies the optical signal travelling in the through path of the first optical coupler. A second splitter/coupler combines the optical signals travelling in the coupled paths of the first and second optical couplers to generate a second output signal delivered to a second output port. An optional third output port supplies the optical signal travelling in the through path of the second optical coupler.

    Abstract: A massively parallel computer system (MPCS) includes a multitude of tiles each adapted to include one or more processing/memory units, power generation unit, and associated circuitry. The tiles are formed in an array of thin, light-weight material that may be foldable and/or collapsible to enable the packaging and folding of the MPCS into a small amount of volume for launch into space. The power generation units may be photovoltaic cells or solar panels that generate DC energy from sun light. The DC energy powers the processing units, memory and other circuits of the MPCS. Heat dissipating structures disposed in the MPCS transfer heat away from the processing/memory unit and into space. Communication between the processing units and earth-based systems may be accomplished using any number of communication protocols and mediums. A control unit disposed in the MPCS may maintain the solar panels towards the sun as the MPCS orbits the earth.

    Abstract: An integrated optical phased array includes an input channel receiving an optical input signal, and a multitude of signal processing channels each adapted to supply an associated optical output signal along a first axis in response to the input signal. Each signal processing channel includes, in part, a phase modulator adapted to modulate the phase of the signal travelling through the channel, thereby to control or steer the output signal of the phased array. Each channel optionally includes first and second photo detection circuits respectively generating first and second detection signals. The first and second detection signals in each channel may be used to modulate the amplitude and/or phase of the output signal of that channel thereby to control and steer the output signal of the phased array.

    Abstract: An opto-electrical oscillator includes, in part, first and second optical phase modulators, a coupler, an optical-to-electrical signal conversion circuit, and a control circuit. The first optical phase modulator modulates the phase of a first optical signal in response to a first feedback signal to generate a first phase modulated signal. The second optical phase modulator modulates the phase of a second optical signal in response to a second feedback signal to generate a second phase modulated signal. The first and second optical signals travel through first and second optical paths respectively and are generated from the same optical source. The optical-to-electrical signal conversion circuit receives an optical signal from the coupler and in response generates an electrical signal applied to the control circuit. The output signals of the control circuit cause the first and second feedback signals to be out of phase.
