Patent number: 11256046Abstract: A photonic interface for an electronic circuit is disclosed. The photonic interface includes a photonic integrated circuit having a modulator and a photodetector, and an optical fiber or fibers for optical communication with another optical circuit. A modulator driver chip may be mounted directly on the photonic integrated circuit. The optical fibers may be placed in v-grooves of a fiber support, which may include at least one lithographically defined alignment feature for optical alignment to the silicon photonic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Michael J. Hochberg, Ari Jason Novack, Peter D. Magill

Patent number: 11209674Abstract: An optical modulator apparatus may include a plurality of segment drivers, each segment driver having a unique offset voltage and driving but a portion or a segment of an electro-optical modulator. A modulating electrical signal may be applied to the segment drivers via a plurality of electrical delays. Parameters of the segment drivers may be selected so as to approximate a pre-defined transfer function, which may include a linear or a non-linear transfer function.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Nokia Solutions & Networks OyInventors: Ran Ding, Thomas Wetteland Baehr-Jones, Peter D. Magill, Michael J. Hochberg, Alexander Rylyakov

Publication number: 20200112374Abstract: A high data rate, high sensitivity, low power optical link using low-bandwidth components and low-bandwidth E/O drivers and receivers and method of building same. The method is based on the idea of making the optical part of the link look like a bandwidth limited lossy electrical channel, so that the powerful equalization methods used in the wireline electrical links can be applied to recover the transmitted data in a situation with low bandwidth and/or high loss and strong inter-symbol interference. Linear and non-linear optical channel components, E/O drivers and receivers can benefit from the apparatus and the methods of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Alexander Rylyakov, Richard Younce, Ran Ding, Peter D.
