Abstract: Coherent optical communications technology for recovery of 1D and 2D formatted optical signals. For example, 1D or 2D formatted signals that travel through fiber optic media may be recovered by separating the light into X- and Y-polarization components, rotating one polarization component (e.g., Y-component) into the polarization space of the other component (e.g., Y-component into the X-polarization space), delaying the rotated component enough to avoid destructive interference and combining the delayed component with the undelayed component to form a folded optical signal, which may then be processed as a X-polarized signal.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a first transistor region and a second transistor region and then forming a first gate structure on the first transistor region and a second gate structure on the second transistor region, in which the first gate structure includes a first hard mask, the second gate structure includes a second hard mask, and the first hard mask and the second hard mask have different thicknesses. Next, a patterned mask is formed around the first gate structure and the second gate structure, and then part of the first hard mask is removed.

The receiver system may include an optical polarization component configured to modulate a polarization of the received coherent PAM encoded signal. The receiver system may further include a digital signal processor (DSP) configured to perform polarization recovery between the received coherent PAM encoded signal and the LO signal using a first control loop, and to perform phase recovery between the received coherent PAM encoded signal and the LO signal using a second control loop.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring chirp in a modulated light beam. The modulated light is passed through a variable dispersion element or “VDE”, and the light from the variable dispersion element is detected to yield a signal. A parameter which represents the strength of modulation in the light after passage through the VDE such as the peak intensity of the modulated light is measured as the VDE is controlled to vary the applied dispersion. The chip is determined from the variation of the parameter with dispersion, such as from the dispersions at which the parameter is at minima. The method can be applied to beams modulated by common digital transmitters used in optical communication systems.

Abstract: An optical transceiver may include an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. The optical transmitter and receiver may each include a grid including one or more lanes spaced apart. Each lane may correspond to a predetermined optical signal, or wavelength. The optical transmitter may include one or more sets of lasers to output one or more optical signals corresponding to the grid. Each set of laser may output a set of optical signals. Each set of lasers and, therefore, each set of optical signals may have a different passband. For example, the multiplexing and/or demultiplexing architecture may have a wide passband for the first set of optical signals and a narrow passband for the second set of optical signals. The narrow passband may be determined based on the space between two wider passbands.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including an apparatus for generating clusters of building blocks of compute nodes using an optical network. In one aspect, a method includes receiving request data specifying requested compute nodes for a computing workload. The request data specifies a target n-dimensional arrangement of the compute nodes. A selection is made, from a superpod that includes a set of building blocks that each include an m-dimensional arrangement of compute nodes, a subset of the building blocks that, when combined, match the target n-dimensional arrangement specified by the request data. The set of building blocks are connected to an optical network that includes one or more optical circuit switches. A workload cluster of compute nodes that includes the subset of the building blocks is generated. The generating includes configuring, for each dimension of the workload cluster, respective routing data for the one or more optical circuit switches.
