  • Publication number: 20220413215
    Abstract: A circuit for detecting an optical data signal includes a photonics substrate and first and second photodiodes formed in the photonics substrate. The first photodiode is configured to receive, via an input port formed in the photonics substrate, a first portion of the optical data signal and convert light power of the first portion of the optical data signal to generate a first current based on the optical data signal. The second photodiode is configured to output a second current without receiving any portion of the optical data signal. The second current corresponds to a dark current induced in the second photodiode. The circuit is configured to subtract the second current from the first current to generate an output signal corresponding to a power of the optical data signal without dark current induced in the first photodiode.

  • Publication number: 20220397388
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring strain in an optical chip in silicon photonics platform. The apparatus includes a silicon photonics substrate shared with the optical chip. Additionally, the apparatus includes an optical input configured in the silicon photonics substrate to supply an input signal of a single wavelength. The apparatus further includes a first waveguide arm and a second waveguide arm embedded in the silicon photonics substrate to form an on-chip interferometer. The second waveguide arm forms a delay line being disposed at a region in or adjacent to the optical chip. The on-chip interferometer is configured to generate an interference pattern serving as an indicator of strain distributed at the region in or adjacent to the optical chip. The interference pattern is caused by a temperature-independent phase shift at the single wavelength of the interferometer between the first waveguide arm and the second waveguide arm.
