  • Publication number: 20200103680
    Abstract: An integrated optical modulator array useful for modulating light at different wavelengths in the same optical band includes multiple GeSi waveguides on a substrate. Each GeSi waveguide has a different width and is coupled to electrodes to form an electro-absorption modulator. A stressor material, such as SiN, disposed between the GeSi waveguides in the optical modulators applies a strain to the GeSi waveguides. Because each GeSi waveguide has a different width, it experiences a different strain. This difference can be a difference in magnitude, type (homogeneous v. inhomogeneous, compressive v. tensile), or both. The different strains shift the bandgaps of the Ge in the GeSi waveguides by different amounts, shifting the optical absorption edges for the GeSi waveguides by different amounts. Put differently, the stressor layer strains each GeSi modulator differently, causing each GeSi modulator to operate at a different wavelength.

  • Publication number: 20200103705
    Abstract: A display may have display layers that form an array of pixels. The array of pixels may be illuminated using a backlight unit. The backlight unit may include multiple strings of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The multiple LED strings may be controlled by one or more backlight driver integrated circuits (ICs). In a multi-driver IC architecture, an enable signal may be used to set a desired phase delay between the multiple ICs. One or more of the LED strings may exhibit a short fault. Depending on the number of faulty LED strings, the backlight unit can selectively throttle the maximum brightness of the display. The LED strings may receive an output voltage from a DC/DC converter and may be driven using a current driver. The DC/DC converter may be controlled by a headroom feedforward control circuit to ensure sufficient headroom for the current driver while suppressing acoustic noise.
