Methods are provided for planning, performing, and assessing of surgical correction to the spine during a spinal surgical procedure. These methods are implemented by a control unit through a GUI to digitize screw locations, digitize anatomical reference points, accept one or more correction inputs, and generate one or more rod solution outputs shaped to engage the screws at locations distinct from the originally digitized locations.

Systems and methods for planning, performing, and assessing spinal correction during surgery

Implants, instruments, and methods for performing surgical procedures on the spine, including one or more of creating an operative corridor to the spine, delivering implants to the spine, fusing one or more segments of the spine and fixing one or more segments of the spine.

Methods and systems for an optical coupler for photonics devices are disclosed and may include a photonics transceiver comprising a silicon photonics die and a fiber connector for receiving optical fibers and including a die coupler and an optical coupling element. The die coupler may be bonded to a top surface of the photonics die and aligned above an array of grating couplers. The optical coupling element may be attached to the die coupler and the electronics die and the source module may be bonded to the top surface of the photonics die. Modulated optical signals may be received in the photonics die from optical fibers coupled to the fiber connector.

Methods and systems for a light source arrangement supporting direct coupling to a photonically enabled complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip are disclosed. The arrangement may include a laser, a microlens, a turning mirror, reciprocal and/or non-reciprocal polarization rotators, and an optical bench. The laser may generate an optical signal that may be focused utilizing the microlens. The optical signal may be reflected at an angle defined by the turning mirror, and may be transmitted out of the light source arrangement to one or more grating couplers in the chip. The laser may include a feedback insensitive laser. The light source arrangement may include two electro-thermal interfaces between the optical bench, the laser, and a lid affixed to the optical bench. The turning mirror may be integrated in a lid affixed to the optical bench or may be integrated in the optical bench.

Methods and systems for a free space CWDM MUX/DEMUX for integration with a grating coupler based silicon platform may include an optical assembly coupled to a photonic chip. The optical assembly includes a lens array on the top surface of the chip, an angled mirror, a transparent spacer, and a plurality of thin film filters. The optical assembly may receive an input optical signal comprising a plurality of optical signals at different wavelengths via an optical fiber coupled to the optical assembly, communicate the plurality of optical signals through the transparent spacer, pass a first of the plurality of optical signals through a corresponding one of the plurality of thin film filters while reflecting others of the plurality of optical signals back into the transparent spacer, and reflect the others of the plurality of signals towards a second of the plurality of thin film filters.

Methods and systems for a photonic interposer may include receiving a continuous wave (CW) optical signal in a silicon photonic interposer from an optical source. A modulated optical signal may be generated by processing the received CW optical signal based on a first electrical signal received from an electronics die. A second electrical signal may be generated in the silicon photonic interposer based on the generated modulated optical signal, and may then be communicated to the electronics die via copper pillars. Optical signals may be communicated into and/or out of the silicon photonic interposer utilizing grating couplers. The electronics die may comprise one or more of a processor core, a switch core, memory, or a router.
