  • Publication number: 20210151952
    Abstract: A method (700) of biasing a tunable laser (310) during burst-on and burst-off states includes receiving a burst mode signal (514) indicative of the burst-on state or the burst-off state and when the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state: delivering a first bias current (IGAIN) to an anode of a gain-section diode (590a) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser; and delivering a second bias current (IPH) to an anode of phase-section diode (590b) disposed on the shared substrate. The second bias current is less than the first bias current. When the burst mode signal transitions to be indicative of the burst-off state, the method also includes delivering the first bias current to the anode of the gain-section diode; and delivering the second bias current to the anode of the phase-section diode wherein the first bias current is less than the second bias current.

  • Publication number: 20210073941
    Abstract: Systems and methods for stitching videos are disclosed. Image-based registration between frames from a first video source and frames from a second video source is performed at a first rate. Calibration-based registration between frames from the first video source and frames from the second video source are performed at a second rate higher than the first rate. Then, for a first frame from the first video source for which calibration-based registration data and image-based registration data have been generated, a stitching transform that maps the first frame to a counterpart frame from the second video source based on image-based registration data is generated. A delta transform from the image-based registration data and the calibration-based registration data at the first frame is also derived.
