Abstract:
The LIDAR chip includes a utility waveguide that guides an outgoing LIDAR signal to a facet through which the outgoing LIDAR signal exits from the chip. The chip also includes a control branch that removes a portion of the outgoing LIDAR signal from the utility waveguide. The control branch includes a control light sensor that receives a light signal that includes light from the removed portion of the outgoing LIDAR signal. The chip also includes a data branch that removes a second portion of the outgoing LIDAR signal from the utility waveguide. The data branch includes a light-combining component that combines a reference light signal that includes light from the second portion of the outgoing LIDAR signal with a comparative light signal that includes light that was reflected off an object located off of the chip.

Claim (Index 19):
The chip of  claim 1 , wherein one of the waveguides receives a comparative light signal that includes light from a LIDAR input light signal, the LIDAR input light signal including light reflected by an object located off of the chip,\n an optical attenuator configured to attenuate an intensity of the comparative light signal on the waveguide.
