Assignee: nan
Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated receiver chip comprising:
a first end and a second end;
at least one optical input port disposed at the first end;
a polarization manipulation device optically connected to one of the at least one optical input port, the polarization manipulation device being adapted to split an optical signal into a first and a second optical signals;
a first and a second dispersion compensators each optically connected to the polarization manipulation device, the first and the second dispersion compensators each being adapted to selectively induce a dispersion on an optical signal propagating through the dispersion compensator; and
a first and a second single polarization waveguide photodetectors optically connected to the first and the second dispersion compensators, respectively, the first and the second single polarization waveguide photodetectors each being electrically connected in parallel and adapted to convert optical signals into electrical currents, such that corresponding electrical currents from the first and the second single polarization waveguide photodetectors are configured to be combined;
wherein the integrated receiver chip is configured for direct detection.
