Abstract:
Various embodiments of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) are described herein. A PIC, functioning as a coherent receiver, may include optical components such as an optical coupler, a directional coupler, a beam splitter, a polarizing beam rotator-splitter, a variable optical attenuator, a monitor photodiode, 90-degree hybrid mixer, and a waveguide photodiode. The PIC may also include electrical components such as an electrode, a capacitor, a resistor and a Zener diode.

Claim (Index 18):
The PIC of  claim 8 , wherein each of the first quad-channel WGPD array and the second quad-channel WGPD array comprises a ground-signal-ground-signal-ground-signal-ground-signal-ground (GSGSGSGSG) electrode having a first ground pad, a second ground pad, and third ground pad, a fourth ground pad, a fifth ground pad, a first signal pad disposed between the first and second ground pads, a second signal pad disposed between the second and third ground pads, a third signal pad disposed between the third and fourth ground pads, a fourth signal pad disposed between the fourth and fifth ground pads, and wherein the first, second, third and fourth ground pads are electrically connected together.
