    Abstract: A device (e.g., a photonic multiplexer) is provided that includes a plurality of first switches. Each first switch in the plurality of first switches includes a plurality of first channels. Each first switch is configured to shift photons in the plurality of first channels by zero or more channels, based on first configuration information provided to the first switch. The device further includes a plurality of second switches. Each second switch includes a plurality of second channels. Each second channel is coupled with a respective first channel from a distinct first switch of the plurality of first switches. Each second switch is configured to shift photons in the plurality of second channels by zero or more channels, based on second configuration information provided to the second switch.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a first multi-mode waveguide, a first optical coupler coupled to the first multi-mode waveguide, the first coupler being tapered and curved, and a first single-mode waveguide having a first end coupled to the first optical coupler. The optical device maybe used in an optical delay device. A method of propagating light in a first multi-mode waveguide toward a first optical coupler, propagating the light in the first optical coupler toward a first single-mode waveguide, the first optical coupler being tapered and curved, and propagating the light along the first single-mode waveguide is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving input light having an input wavelength in a first optical resonator for causing resonance of the input light in the first optical resonator. The first optical resonator includes a non-linear optical medium. The method also includes converting at least a portion of the input light to a combination of first output light having a first output wavelength that is different from the input wavelength and second output light having a second output wavelength that is different from the input wavelength and the first output wavelength by passing the input light through the non-linear optical medium. The method further includes causing resonance of the first output light and the second output light in a second optical resonator. A portion of the first optical resonator is coupled to a portion of the second optical resonator.

    Abstract: A device includes a plurality of first switches. Each first switch includes a set of two or more first channels. Each first switch is configured to shift photons in the set of first channels by zero or more channels, based on first configuration information provided to the first switch. The device further includes a plurality of second switches. Each second switch includes a corresponding set of two or more second channels. The plurality of second switches is coupled to two or more output channels. Each second switch is coupled, by the set of second channels, to outputs of two or more first switches. Each second switch is configured to shift photons in the set of second channels by zero or more channels, based on second configuration information provided to the second switch so that photons are provided to respective output channels of the two or more output channels.
