A wavelength converter for LiDAR systems, such as automotive LiDAR, is disclosed. Implementation of the wavelength converter in LiDAR systems makes possible generation and modulation of laser light in the silicon response region, conversion of the laser light to an eye-safe wavelength for emission and reflection from a target, and efficient conversion of the wavelength of the laser light to the silicon response region. The wavelength converter may implement a single-loop counter-propagating wavelength conversion scheme which provides both up-conversion and down-conversion of the signal within the same loop. The wavelength conversion design also has the potential for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication to enable a combined LiDAR and V2V communication system.

LiDAR system implementing wavelength conversion

An apparatus and method for wavelength conversion of a signal, for example, a dual-polarization signal, is disclosed. The apparatus implements a single-loop counter-propagating wavelength conversion scheme which provides both up-conversion and down-conversion of the signal within the same loop. Nonlinear wavelength conversion devices in the loop provide both up-conversion and down-conversion of the polarization components of the signal within the loop depending on whether the polarization component travels through the nonlinear conversion device in a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction. The wavelength-converted signal is available to be extracted from the wavelength-conversion loop. An all-optical wavelength-division multiplexing transponder based on the wavelength-conversion scheme is also disclosed.

Apparatus for broadband wavelength conversion of dual-polarization phase-encoded signal

A system and method for extending the path length of an electromagnetic wave signal traveling between apertures is disclosed. One such system may comprise N arrays having Mthrough Mapertures, respectively, wherein N&#x2265;2, M&#x2265;2, and each of Mthrough M&#x2265;1, a substantial number of the Mapertures in a first array is configured to send the electromagnetic wave signal to a substantial number of the Mapertures in a second array through the Mapertures in a N-th array, the substantial number of the Mapertures in the second array through the Mapertures in the N-th array receiving the electromagnetic wave signal from the substantial number of the Mapertures in the first array is configured to redirect the received electromagnetic wave signal back to the substantial number of the Mapertures in the first array, and the substantial number of the Mapertures in the first array is further configured to send the electromagnetic wave signal to another one of the Mapertures in the first array after receiving the redirected electromagnetic wave signal from a M-th aperture in the N-th array.

System and method for extending path length of a wave signal using angle multiplexing

An apparatus comprising a cavity having interior surfaces or reflecting elements, one or more transmitters configured to receive an electrical signal, transform the electrical signal into an electromagnetic wave signal, and introduce the electromagnetic wave signal into an inside of the cavity, and one or more receivers configured to retrieve the electromagnetic wave signal, transform the electromagnetic wave signal to a corresponding electrical signal, and transmit the corresponding electrical signal to the outside of the cavity is disclosed. The electromagnetic wave signal is contained within the inside of the cavity until retrieved by undergoing a series of reflections or traversals between the interior surfaces of the cavity or the reflecting elements within the cavity. The apparatus may further comprise one or more regenerators configured to re-amplify, re-shape, and/or re-time the electromagnetic wave signal traveling within the inside of the cavity.

Apparatus and method for storing wave signals in a cavity

A system comprising a recirculating loop configured to store an electromagnetic wave signal, the recirculating loop comprising a transmission medium and a plurality of transceivers configured to introduce the electromagnetic wave signal into the transmission medium and retrieve the electromagnetic wave signal from the transmission medium, and a signal conditioning system comprising a plurality of signal conditioners coupled to the transmission medium, the plurality of signal conditioners configured to amplify or regenerate the electromagnetic wave signal traveling in the transmission medium, one or more pump laser sources, wherein at least one of the one or more pump laser sources is configured to provide a pump laser beam to at least two of the plurality of signal conditioners, and one or more control circuits for controlling the plurality of signal conditioners, wherein at least one of the one or more control circuits is configured to control and monitor at least two of the plurality of signal conditioners, is disclosed.

Systems and methods for building, operating and controlling multiple amplifiers, regenerators and transceivers using shared common components

A data storage system is disclosed that includes a recirculating loop storing data in motion. The data may be carried by a signal via the loop including one or more satellites or other vessels that return, for example by reflection or regeneration, the signals through the loop. The loop may also include a waveguide, for example an optical fiber, or an optical cavity. Signal multiplexing may be used to increase the contained data. The signal may be amplified at each roundtrip and sometimes a portion of the signal may be regenerated.
