Patent Images
1. An intra chip or intra multi-chip module on a shared substrate multi-wavelength optical communication system comprising:
- a number of emitters each of which emits radiation at a different wavelength;
a plurality of detectors each of which senses radiation at a different wavelength corresponding to the radiation from one of said emitters; and
a shared waveguide including a scattering medium configured with dispersive particles for transmitting emitted radiation to said detectors;
wherein each emitter includes a scattering grating for redirecting the emitted radiation laterally through said shared waveguide.
