20130294782 | Methods and Systems for Optical Receivers - Broadband access networks are driving the upgrade of DWDM networks from 10 Gb/s per channel to more spectrally-efficient 40 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s. Signal quality degradation due to linear and non-linear impairments are significant and error control coding and signal processing solutions play increasingly key roles in meeting increasing demand, providing improved quality of service, and reduced cost. It would be beneficial to reduce the power consumption of optical receivers for optical links exploiting for example LPDC encoding. Accordingly, the inventors have established a low complexity soft-decision front-end compatible with deployable LDPC codes in next-generation optical transmission systems. Beneficially the optical receiver design can be retro-fitted into deployed hard-decision based optical systems and replaces the 3-to-2 encoder of the prior art in the electrical portion of the receiver with a single gate design.

20130330076 | Methods and Devices for Space-Time Multi-Plane Optical Networks - Scalability and energy efficiency are key issues in data centers imposing tight constraints on the networking infrastructure connecting the servers. Optical interconnection mitigates electronic limitations but the additional flexibility offered by WDM and datarate across a data center interconnection network requires architectural design, photonic technologies, and operating strategies be selected and optimized to meet power consumption requirements. Multi-plane architectures based upon space-wavelength domain architectures have been proposed to overcome scalability limitations. It would be beneficial to extend space and time switching domains with the wavelength domain for additional capacity to increase throughput as well as providing same electro-optic interface. Accordingly, the inventors have established space-time domain interconnection network architectures with wavelength domain overlay overcoming power consumption issues, especially at low utilization, by exploiting all-optical implementations with active elements which act simultaneously as a switch and an amplifier, and the possibility to remain in an idle state when unused. | 12-12-2013 |
20160094308 | OPTICAL INTERCONNECTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS EXPLOITING MODE MULTIPLEXING - Optical solutions to address and overcome the issues of superseding/replacing electrical interconnection networks have generally exploited some form of optical space switching. Such optical space switching architectures required multiple switching elements, leading to increased power consumption and footprint issues. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for new optical, e.g. fiber optic or integrated optical, interconnection architectures to address the traditional hierarchal time-division multiplexed (TDM) space based routing and interconnection to provide reduced latency, increased flexibility, lower cost, and lower power consumption. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to exploit networks operating in multiple domains by overlaying mode division multiplexing to provide increased throughput in bus, point-to-point networks, and multi-cast networks, for example, discretely or in combination with wavelength division multiplexing. | 03-31-2016 |
20160103382 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PHOTONIC M-ARY PULSE AMPLITUDE MODULATION - CMOS compatible SOI photonic integrated circuits (PICs) offer a low cost and promising solution to future short reach optical links operating beyond 100 Gb/s. A key building block in these optical links is the external optical modulator. Amongst, the PIC geometries for external modulators are those based upon ring resonators and Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) where whilst the latter have been reported with increased thermal stability and fabrication tolerances, the former have demonstrated lower loss and lower driving voltages leading to a more energy efficient approach. Multi-segmented electrode structure based PAM optical modulator can potentially replace the analog digital-to-analog circuits (DACs) which are commonly used to achieve the multilevel electrical driving signal. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to combine the benefits of ring resonators to provide PAM-N modulators. It would be further beneficial for such PAM-N ring resonator modulators to exploit multi-segmented electrode structures to remove the requirements for high speed DACs. | 04-14-2016 |
