Abstract: Clock circuits designed to compensate for supply voltage fluctuations (e.g., supply voltage droops) in central processing units (CPUs) are described. The clock circuits described herein involve reducing the clock frequency in response to a decrease to the supply voltage to a value that is approximately equal (or below) to the maximum operating frequency of the CPU at that particular supply voltage. The clock circuits described herein may include a frequency locked loops (FLL). Such FLLs may be designed to lock to a reference frequency when the supply voltage is approximately constant and to deviate from the reference frequency in response to variations in the supply voltage. In some embodiments, an FLL operates in the same supply voltage domain as the CPU.

Abstract: A superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED) includes an active layer that includes a set of mixed strain quantum wells. The set of mixed strain quantum wells includes a set of compressive strained quantum wells and a set of tensile strained quantum wells. A potential difference applied across the SLED causes movement of electron carriers and hole carriers towards the active layer. Radiative recombination of electron and hole pairs in the set of compressive strained quantum wells enables emission of laterally polarized light and radiative recombination of electron and hole pairs in the set of tensile strained quantum wells enables emission of vertically polarized light. A combination of the laterally polarized light and vertically polarized light results in the emission of incoherent light from the SLED.
