Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to reducing far end cross talk (FEXT), including differential-to-differential far end crosstalk (DDFEXT) or single ended FEXT through generating and applying a delay shifter/inverter that is cascaded onto a target electrical system and shifts the even-mode and odd-mode propagation delay of a target electrical system to be substantially equal, which in turn reduces FEXT in the overall system.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein involve a media adaptor configured to provide electrical/optical and optical/electrical conversion for a multi-mode waveguide (MMWG) interconnect, the media adaptor involving one or more ball grid arrays; and a tail-cut fiber array block (tcFAB) connected to a first array of photodiodes and a second array of laser diodes from direct optical wire (DOW) bonding.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to an interface configured to redirect light between a connector connected to a printed optical board (POB) via an optical waveguide, and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), the interface involving two-dimensionally distributed waveplates (TDWs) having multiple layers of p-doped and n-doped silicon, the TDWs configured to be driven to change a dielectric constant at a two dimensional location on the TDWs such that the received light is redirected at the two dimensional location.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to a system involving one or more photonic integrated circuits having multi-mode waveguides and connected to a printed optical board through the use of multi-mode waveguide connectors described herein. The printed optical board can include an embedded multi-mode waveguide bus to facilitate optical signal to and from the photonic integrated circuits. The system can also include a chiplet such as a photonic integrated circuit with a single mode waveguide configured to connect to an optical fiber cable.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical system for reducing differential-to-differential far end crosstalk (DDFEXT) includes converting a first S parameter representative of a design of a first electrical system into a differential-only S parameter, generating a second differential-only S parameter configured to add even-mode propagation delay and odd-mode propagation delay of the differential-only S parameter of the electrical system such that a total even-mode propagation delay and odd-mode propagation delay of the differential-only S parameter are substantially equivalent, and reconfiguring a second electrical system from the differential-only S parameter and the second differential-only S parameter.

Abstract: The first terminals have contact arm portions extending in a rectilinear manner in the direction of connector plugging and unplugging; the second terminals have convex contact point portions contactable with an intermediate portion of the contact arm portions in the same direction. When the stub portions of the contact arm portions are divided into a free end side range and a proximal end side range such that the center point of said stub portions in the direction of plugging and unplugging forms a boundary, in the arranged state of the first terminals, impedance at arbitrary locations in the direction of plugging and unplugging within the free end side range is larger than impedance at arbitrary locations in the plugging direction within the proximal end side range.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to a method and apparatus for improving insertion loss of connector stub and thereby increasing a system's signal bandwidth. This technique shapes the connector stub in a specific way to shift its resonant frequency higher while having equal or better electrical performance below the original resonant frequency.

Abstract: The present invention involves connectors for reducing Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT) through the use of novel polarity swapping to negate the cumulative effect of FEXT. Skew adjustment is used to improve the FEXT cancellation from polarity swapping. The polarity reversal location or locations among FEXT sources are optimized to achieve maximum FEXT cancellation. The novelty polarity swapping technique can be applied to a wide variety of connectors, such as mezzanine connectors, backplane connectors, and any other connectors that can benefit from FEXT reduction.
