Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system includes an optical Y-junction coupler to receive a first modulated optical signal on a wide input path of the optical Y-junction coupler and to receive a second modulated optical signal on a narrow input path of the optical Y-junction coupler, wherein the optical Y-junction coupler generates a combined optical signal from signals received on the wide input path and the narrow input path. A multimode waveguide receives the combined optical signal from the optical Y-junction coupler and propagates a spatially multiplexed optical output signal along a transmission path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: first and second optical Y-junction couplers to each receive a first modulated optical signal on a wide input path of the first and second optical Y-junction couplers and to each receive a second modulated optical signal on a narrow input path of the first and second optical Y-junction couplers, wherein the first and second optical Y-junction couplers each generate a combined optical signal from signals received on the wide input path an…
