Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques relating to optical communications are described. A described hub optical module includes an optical transceiver configured to communicate with edge optical modules of respective edge devices via an optical communication network, the edge optical modules comprising edge interfaces; and a controller coupled with the optical transceiver.

The controller can advertise, to the hub device, an application select code to enable the hub device to configure an operational mode and to selectively enable each of the hub interfaces in the operational mode, store one or more associations among the hub interfaces and the edge interfaces, and configure one or more cross-connections among the hub interfaces and the optical subcarriers based on the one or more associations.

Abstract: The systems and methods discussed herein are associated with substrate support pedestals used in processing chambers to manufacture semiconductors, electronics, optics, and other devices. The substrate support pedestals include an electrostatic chuck body bonded to a cooling base via a bond layer. A gas flow passage is formed between a top surface of the electrostatic chuck body and a bottom surface of the cooling base, and a porous plug is positioned in the gas flow passage. The gas flow passage passes through a hole in the bond layer and the porous plug and has a swept volume physically shielded from an inside edge of the hole in the bond layer, protecting the bond layer from erosion.
