Abstract: A multicore optical fiber includes two or more cores, a common interior cladding surrounding the two or more cores, and a common exterior cladding surrounding the common interior cladding. The common exterior cladding has a lower relative refractive index than the common interior cladding and reduces tunneling losses from the cores. The reduced tunneling loss allows placement of cores closer to the edge of the fiber, thus providing multicore optical fibers having higher core count for a given fiber diameter. Separation between cores is controlled to minimize crosstalk.

Abstract: A time-to-digital converter (TDC) uses voltage as a representation of time offset. A voltage change is induced over a time period from a start signal to a stop signal. The final voltage is then measured, and the voltage measurement is mapped to a time value representing the time between the start signal and the stop signal. The voltage change can be increasing or decreasing, e.g., by charging or discharging a capacitive circuit between the start signal and the stop signal. The voltage can be measured using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or other voltage measurement circuit. The voltage measurement can be mapped to the time value in any manner, such as, for example, using a transfer function or using a mapping table that provides a time value for each possible voltage measurement value.
