  • Single mode reflector using a nanobeam cavity
    Patent number: 9647424
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an optical reflector with one or two bus optical waveguides and a one-dimensional, photonic crystal nanobeam cavity to provide single-mode reflection with a narrow bandwidth. In particular, the nanobeam cavity may be implemented on a nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide (such as a channel or ridge optical waveguide), which is optically coupled to the one or two bus optical waveguides. The nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide may include notches along a symmetry axis of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide that are partially etched from edges of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide toward a center of the nanobeam-cavity optical waveguide. Furthermore, a fill factor of the notches may vary as a function of location along the symmetry axis, while a pitch of the notches is unchanged, to define the nanobeam cavity.

  • Hybrid integration of edge-coupled chips
    Patent number: 9618709
    Abstract: A technique for fabricating a hybrid optical source is described. During this fabrication technique, a III-V compound-semiconductor active gain medium is integrated with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip (or wafer) using edge coupling to form a co-planar hybrid optical source. Using a backside etch-assisted cleaving technique, and a temporary transparent substrate with alignment markers, a III-V compound-semiconductor chip with proper edge polish and coating can be integrated with a processed SOI chip (or wafer) with accurate alignment. This fabrication technique may significantly reduce the alignment complexity when fabricating the hybrid optical source, and may enable wafer-scale integration.

  • Optical reflector based on a directional coupler and a coupled optical loop
    Patent number: 9575256
    Abstract: An optical device includes an optical reflector based on a coupled-loopback optical waveguide. In particular, an input port, an output port and an optical loop in arms of the optical reflector are optically coupled to a directional coupler. The directional coupler evanescently couples an optical signal between the arms. For example, the directional coupler may include: a multimode interference coupler and/or a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI). Moreover, destructive interference during the evanescent coupling determines the reflection and transmission power coefficients of the optical reflector.

  • EFFICIENT LOW-COMPLEXITY VIDEO COMPRESSION
    Publication number: 20160295234
    Abstract: Disclosed is a low-complexity and yet efficient lossy method to compress distortion information for motion estimation, resulting in significant reduction in needed storage capacity. A system for implementing the method and a computer-readable medium for storing the method are also disclosed. The method includes determining and storing a distortion value for each trial motion vector in a plurality of trial motion vectors. Each trial motion vector specifies a position of a search region relative to a reference frame. The method further includes compressing each of the distortion values as a fixed number of bits based upon a minimum distortion value amongst the stored distortion values, and re-storing each compressed distortion value in place of its uncompressed value.
