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 14):
The chip of  claim 1 , wherein the waveguides include a utility waveguide that terminates at a facet through which a outgoing LIDAR signal exits from the chip,\n the utility waveguide also configured to receive a LIDAR input light signal through the facet, the LIDAR input light signal including light from the outgoing LIDAR signal; and a data branch that includes a light sensor that receives a light signal that includes light from the LIDAR input light signal.
