Abstract: An optical interposer for providing optimal optical coupling between an optical transceiver interface and an external optical interface includes an interposer photonic integrated circuit (PIC) operably configured to couple an optical signal between the optical transceiver interface and the external optical interface, one or more waveguide based optical devices operably integrated on a common substrate and one or more of interposer input/output (I/O) channels operably configured with the optical transceiver interface and the external optical interface.

Abstract: An optical mode converter for coupling between photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and optical fiber of different mode sizes is illustrated. The optical mode converter includes a waveguide assembly including a Single waveguide structure, a Multi-layer waveguide structure, and a Transitional waveguide structure. The Single waveguide structure includes a single waveguide. The dimension and propagation constant of a first end, of the single waveguide, is similar to a waveguide of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). Furthermore, the Multi-layer waveguide structure included a multi-layer waveguide. Further, the Transitional waveguide structure is formed at a transitional structure. The Transitional waveguide structure allows transition of an optical mode between the Single waveguide structure and Multi-layer waveguide structure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a modulator, including: a first modulation module, configured to: receive first to-be-modulated data, and output a first transmission curve according to the first to-be-modulated data; a second modulation module, configured to: receive second to-be-modulated data, and output a second transmission curve according to the second to-be-modulated data, where a period of the second transmission curve is half of a period of the first transmission curve; and a combination module, configured to perform phase superposition on the first transmission curve and the second transmission curve, to obtain a combined linear result. In addition, this solution further provides a modulation system and a method for implementing higher order modulation, so that a linear result that can be modulated can be obtained by controlling a superposition ratio between transmission curves, to implement linear curve transmission.
