  • Echelle grating with cyclic free-spectral range
    Patent number: 8873961
    Abstract: An optical de-multiplexer (de-MUX) that includes an optical device that images and diffracts an optical signal using a reflective geometry is described, where a free spectral range (FSR) of the optical device associated with a given diffraction order abuts FSRs associated with adjacent diffraction orders. Moreover, the channel spacings within diffraction orders and between adjacent diffraction orders are equal to the predefined channel spacing associated with the optical signal. As a consequence, the optical device has a comb-filter output spectrum, which reduces a tuning energy of the optical device by eliminating spectral gaps between diffraction orders of the optical device.

  • SCALABLE HIGH THROUGHPUT VIDEO ENCODER
    Publication number: 20140169481
    Abstract: A scalable high throughput video encoder is described herein. A plurality of dedicated, hardware video encoders runs in a staggered, parallel architecture, where each video encoder encodes a video frame and the stagger or delay is a programmable number of macroblock rows. In an example method, after a first video encoder finishes encoding the first x macroblock rows of a frame, the first video encoder signals a second video encoder to start encoding a macroblock row of a next unprocessed frame. Both video encoders continue encoding in parallel in a synchronized, staggered manner. At the end of the frame, the first video encoder starts encoding x macroblock rows of another unprocessed frame.

  • Dynamic-grid comb optical source
    Patent number: 8737846
    Abstract: An optical source uses feedback to maintain a substantially fixed spacing between adjacent wavelengths in a set of wavelengths in a wavelength comb output by the optical source. In particular, a set of light sources in the optical source provide optical signals having the set of wavelengths. Moreover, the optical signals are output at diffraction angles of an optical device in the optical source (such as an echelle grating), and optical detectors in the optical source determine optical metrics associated with the optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical source provides control signals to the set of light sources based on the determined optical metrics.

    Abstract: A laser source includes an optical cavity having a length exceeding a first predefined distance (such as 6 mm), where a wavelength spacing between optical modes associated with the optical cavity is less than a second predefined distance (such as 100 pm). Moreover, a gain medium in the laser source amplifies the optical signal. Furthermore, tunable-grating waveguides in the laser source, which are optically coupled to ends of the optical cavity, reflect a portion of the optical signal back into the optical cavity, and at least one of the tunable-grating waveguides transmits a remainder of the optical signal out of the optical cavity.
