Abstract:
Devices and techniques for integrated optical data communication. A method of encoding symbols in an optical signal may include encoding a first symbol by injecting charge carriers, at a first rate, into a semiconductor device, such as a PIN diode. The method may also include encoding a second symbol by injecting charge carriers, at a second rate, into the semiconductor device. The first rate may exceed the second rate. A modulator driver circuit may include a resistive circuit coupled between supply terminal and drive terminals. The modulator driver circuit may also include a control circuit coupled between a data terminal and the resistive circuit. The control circuit may modulate a resistance of the resistive circuit by selectively coupling one or more of a plurality of portions of the resistive circuit to the drive terminal based on data to be optically encoded. In some embodiments, a modulator driver circuit and an optical modulator may be integrated on the same die or stacked (3D integrated) die and connected with through-oxide or through-silicon vias.

Claim (Index 28):
The integrated circuit of  claim 24 , wherein the control circuit includes one or more pulse generator circuits configured to generate pulse signals in response to the data to be optically encoded.
