Abstract: A system includes a first chiplet, a second chiplet, an electronic amplification module, and a converter module. The first chiplet includes, e.g., a network switch, a central processor unit, a graphics processor unit, a tensor processing unit, a neural network processor, an artificial intelligence accelerator, a digital signal processor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a data storage device. The second chiplet includes a photonic module having, e.g., optical switches, optical couplers, optical routers, optical splitters, optical multiplexers, optical demultiplexers, optical filters, optical modulators, optical phase shifters, lasers, optical amplifiers, optical-to-electrical signal converters, or electrical-to-optical signal converters. The electronic amplification module includes, e.g., a driver amplifier or a transimpedance amplifier, and configured to process electrical signals sent to or from the photonic module.

Abstract: There is provided a fiber optic scribing tool having a self-contained internal light source. The internal light source is coupled via one or more optical fibers to a rear edge of a transparent or translucent scribing blade removably inserted in a chuck of the illuminated fiber optic scribing tool. Typically an LED light source is used. An internal power source is disposed within a chuck receiver, for example one or more disposable or rechargeable batteries. If rechargeable batteries are selected, a connector is provided on an external surface of the scribing tool to allow the internal battery(s) to be recharged. A switch is provided to selectively turn the light source on and off. In alternate configurations, a clip-on external light source is provided for adding to an existing prior art fiber optic scribing tool. In another embodiment, a stop is positioned on a lower surface of the scribing blade.
