Abstract: An optical circuit includes solid state photonics. The optical circuit includes a phased array of solid state waveguides that perform beamsteering on an optical signal. The optical circuit includes a modulator to modulate a bit sequence onto the carrier frequency of the optical signal, and the beamsteered signal includes the modulated bit sequence. The optical circuit includes a photodetector to detect a reflection of the beamsteered optical signal. The optical circuit autocorrelates the reflection signal with the bit sequence to generate a processed signal.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for reversibly instrumenting a computer software application is described. The method may comprise creating a map indicating a plurality of locations of application instruction sections within instructions of a computer software application. The method may further comprise inserting a plurality of instrumentation sections into the computer software application instructions. The method may also comprise updating the map to indicate the locations of the instrumentation sections within the computer software application instructions, where the indications in the map of the locations of the instrumentation sections are distinguishable from the indications in the map of the locations of the application instruction sections.

Abstract: An optical pulse generator, consisting of a semiconductor device and an optical output assembly. The semiconductor device includes an optically-active region having a gain section and a saturable absorber (SA) section, which are adapted to generate coherent optical pulses. The device also includes an output facet for coupling therethrough of the optical pulses generated in the optically-active region, and an SA electrode for application of a radio-frequency (RF) modulation of a desired frequency to the SA section. The optical output assembly is optically coupled to the output facet of the semiconductor device so as to partially reflect the coherent optical pulses within a predetermined wavelength range.
