A method and system for locking the resonance frequency of ring resonators by using laser sources to emit a plurality of different wavelengths, applying a tagging signal to each of the wavelengths, multiplexing the tagged wavelengths using a wavelength division multiplexor, coupling the multiplexed tagged wavelengths onto a bus waveguide, detecting the multiplexed tagged wavelengths with a first photodetector disposed before a first ring resonator and a second photodetector disposed after a last ring resonator of a plurality of ring resonators, sending the signals detected by the first and second photodetector to a processor, which identifies and processes the tagging signals, generating a control signal for each ring resonator, by the processor and applying the control signals to phase shifters on each ring resonator of the plurality of ring resonators to tune and align the resonance wavelengths of the ring resonators with the wavelengths of the corresponding laser sources.

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.

An optical-communication module includes an arrayed waveguide grating; a light transmitter including light-emitting elements for emitting first signal beams into the arrayed waveguide grating, wherein the first signal beams are converged into one first communication beam in the arrayed waveguide grating; a wavelength division multiplexing filter is used to transmit the first communication beam emitted by the arrayed waveguide grating to an optical fiber; an optical receiver including optical sensor for sensing second signal beams emitted from the arrayed waveguide grating. The optical fiber is used for transmitting a second communication beam to the wavelength division multiplexing filter. The second communication light beam enters the arrayed waveguide grating through the wavelength division multiplexing filter. The second communication beam is divided into the second signal beams in the arrayed waveguide grating.

Examples of the present disclosure include the use of a topological system including an array of coupled ring resonators that exhibits topological edge states to generate frequency combs and temporal dissipative Kerr solitons. The topological edge states constitute a travelling-wave super-ring resonator causing generation of at least coherent nested optical frequency combs, and self-formation of nested temporal solitons that are robust against defects in the array at a mode efficiency exceeding 50%.

A sourceless co-packaged optical-electrical chip can include a plurality of different optical transceivers, each of which can transmit to an external destination or internal components. Each of the transceivers can be configured for a different modulation format, such as different pulse amplitude, phase shift key, and quadrature amplitude modulation formats. Different light sources provide light for processing by the transceivers, where the light source and transceivers can be configured for different applications (e.g., different distances) and data rates. An optical coupler can combine the light for the different transceivers for input into the sourceless co-packaged optical-electrical chip via a polarization maintaining media (e.g., polarization maintaining few mode fiber and polarization maintaining single mode fiber), where another coupler operates in splitting mode to separate the different channels of light for the different transceivers according to different co-packaged configurations.

A 6.4 Tbps silicon-based photonics engine transceiver chip module for high-speed optical communication manufactured based on processing techniques of semiconductors such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and indium phosphide (InP). The photonics engine transceiver chip module uses a silicon photonic chip as a substrate, and optical chips of an InP laser and an optical amplifier are heterogeneously integrated with the silicon photonic chip through bonding or flip-chip soldering. As a pump light source, the laser generates a soliton-based optical frequency comb by using an ultra-low loss silicon nitride (SiN) resonator cavity, and can be used as a multi-wavelength laser. This reduces use of a single-wavelength laser chip, reduces a power consumption and heat conduction of a laser in an optical chip of a photonic engine, and improves an integration level of an optical device. The optical frequency comb generates an optical carrier with wide bandwidth coverage and a large quantity of wavelengths.

An optical transmission module includes a photonic integrated circuit, a processor that controls the power state of the photonic integrated circuit, and a current source circuit that supplies electric current to a light source used for the photonic integrated circuit.

The light source emits a light beam to be incident onto a corresponding one of the 2{circumflex over ( )}n optical multiplexers. The processor controls the current source circuit for each of the plurality of the multiplexers, based on the monitored value acquired from the photodetector provided to each of the plurality of the multiplexers.

The light detector is located between the rear-end side of the laser and the one end face or the inclined end face, and the second light is outputted diagonally relative to a perpendicular line with respect to the one end face or the inclined end face.
