Each network device includes (i) first optical communication devices configured to communicate first optical signals having a first carrier wavelength and (ii) second optical communication devices configured to communicate second optical signals having a second carrier wavelength. The universal multi-core fiber (UMCF) interconnect includes multiple cores that are configured to convey the first optical signals and the second optical signals between the network devices, using single-mode propagation for the first optical signals and multi-mode propagation for the second optical signals. Each WDM device is connected between a respective network device and the UMCF interconnect and configured to couple the first and second optical communication devices of the respective network device to the cores in accordance with a defined channel assignment.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods are described that provide signal transmission over copper media. An example module includes a number of electrical signal generators that each generate an electrical signal, and a signal modulation system that receives the electrical signals generated by the electrical signal generators. The signal modulation system further modulates each of the electrical signals such that each modulated electrical signal is distinguishable from the other modulated electrical signals. The module further includes an active copper multiplexer in electrical communication with the electrical signal generators that receives the modulated electrical signals from the signal modulation system. The active copper multiplexer further combines the multiple modulated signals into a single combined electrical signal and transmits the single combined electrical signal through a single copper cable.

Abstract: Processes for localized lasering of a lamination stack and graphene-coated printed circuit board (PCB) are disclosed. An example PCB may include a lamination stack, post-lamination, that may further include a core, an adhesive layer, and at least one graphene-metal structure. A top layer of graphene of the graphene-metal structure may have never been grown before the lamination process or may have been removed post-lamination such that a portion of the top layer of graphene is missing. The localized lasering process described herein may grow (for the first time) or re-grow the graphene layer of the exposed portion of the metal layer without adverse effects to the rest of the lamination stack or PCB and while promoting a uniform layer of graphene on the top surface. A process of growing graphene through application of molecular layer and a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), are also described herein.

Abstract: A light emitting device, a transmitter, and a silicon photonics chip, among other things, are disclosed. An illustrative light emitting device is disclosed to include a silicon substrate, a waveguide disposed on or integrated in the silicon substrate, where the waveguide includes a wide waveguide section at a first end and a narrow waveguide section at a second end, a first metal pad disposed over the wide waveguide section and at least partially across the first end of the waveguide, and a second metal pad disposed over the wide waveguide section, distanced away from the first metal pad. Electrical current passing between the first metal pad and the second metal pad may cause light to be produced in the wide waveguide section and the light produced in the wide waveguide section is at least partially reflected by the first metal pad and directed to the narrow waveguide section for transmission.

Abstract: Processes for laminating a conductive-lubricant coated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are disclosed. An example laminated PCB may include a lamination stack that may further include a core, an adhesive layer, and at least one graphene-metal structure or at least one hexagonal Boron Nitride metal (h-BN-metal) structure. The materials of the PCB may change in accordance with the invention described herein, including the materials of the core, the materials of the conductive-lubricant coatings, or the metal layers of the conductive-lubricant-metal structures. Doping processes for each change in materials used are also described herein. The conductive-lubricant of the conductive-lubricant-metal structure will promote high frequency performance and heat management within the PCB. Furthermore, a removal process of those materials post-lamination is described herein to promote protection of materials and subsequent removal of protective layers without breakage or tearing.
