Patent number: 11791902Abstract: A photonics frequency comb generator includes two integrated dies: an indium phosphide die laser of a first wavelength is grown on from, and a silicon photonics die having a microring resonator connected to the laser and frequency modulators. The microring resonator converts the first wavelength into a number of second wavelengths. One type of the microring resonator is a hybrid non-linear optical wavelength generator, comprising non-silicon materials, such as SiC or SiGe built on silicon to yield a non-linear wavelength generation. The second wavelengths are generated by adjusting the ring's geometric size and a distance between the ring and the traverse waveguide. Another type of microring resonator splits the first wavelength into a plurality of second wavelengths and transmits the multiple second wavelengths to filters and modulators, and each selects and modulates one of the second wavelengths in a one-to-one relationship.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Juan Jose Vegas Olmos, Elad Mentovich, Paraskevas Bakopoulos, Dimitrios Kalavrouziotis

Publication number: 20230121874Abstract: The disclosure addresses the problem of increased optical insertion losses in integrated optical switches. It enables the implementation of an array of optical amplifiers, typically with low/moderate gain, to compensate for optical insertion losses in the integrated switches. The amplifier is based on a doped optical fiber which is optically pumped by a pump laser. The integrated optical switch includes a transposer that facilitates connectivity between a set of fibers and a photonic chip through an optical mode conversion. An all passive circuitry is built in a doped fiber amplifier, WDM couplers combine/separate the signals from the pump, and splitters allow sharing of a single pump by multiple amplifiers. In addition, switch pigtails are implemented with the doped fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Paraskevas Bakopoulos, Ioannis Giannis Patronas, Dimitris Kalavrouziotis, Juan Jose Vegas Olmos, Elad Mentovich, Nikos Argyris
