  • Variation-tolerant wavelength division multiplexing receiver and transceiver, and associated methods
    Patent number: 9948423
    Abstract: A variation-tolerant receiver includes a plurality of receiver resonators configured to demultiplex a multiplexed modulated signal received from at least one wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmitter having a plurality of transmitter resonators and wherein operationally each of the receiver resonators has a receiver resonance linewidth not exceeding a minimum spacing between two adjacent transmitter resonances of the transmitter resonators, the receiver resonances collectively spanning a free spectral range of one of the receiver resonators such that the variation-tolerant receiver achieves gapless spectral response.
    Type: Grant
