Applying the stochastic parallel gradient algorithm in the auto alignment problem for the amplifier channel of the UFL-2M facility

The procedure of automatic alignment of the four-pass amplifier channel of a UFL-2M facility has been simulated numerically in the presence of aberrations in the optical path. The alignment procedure is based on the “marker” or “reference” method. The control elements are directed by the stochastic parallel gradient algorithm. The order of executing the automatic alignment is determined. The numerical simulation shows the possibility of positioning the beam at the exit from the channel with an accuracy of 1% of the pinhole size in the far field and of 0.1% of the beam aperture size in the near field. It was established that the centering accuracy of the alignment beam in inner pinholes in the presence of optical inhomogeneities in the amplifier channel can be worse than at the exit of the channel. The possibility of symmetrizing the picture of far-field markers has been considered in the case where the position of the optical axis of the channel is unknown.

Optical clock distribution with a compact free space interconnect system

Optical clock signal distribution has been widely discussed to be an attractive way to reduce the clock skew in high-speed digital systems. For short interconnect lengths, especially for chip level clock distribution, free space systems using diffractive optical elements (DOEs) have specific advantages. The optoelectronic pathway described in this paper consists of a GaAs laser diode, a microetched silicon mirror, a faceted diffractive element and four silicon photodiodes hybridized to a (dummy) silicon chip. The key element of the clock distribution demonstrator is the diffractive element which matches setup requirements like compactness, off-axis geometry and use of an unshaped laser beam. The whole setup meets the demands of alignment accuracy in an excellent way. This is achieved by the very good imaging characteristic of the DOE and by an alignment technique based on precision mounting of micromachined silicon components. The system was tested with clock rates up to 2.5 GHz, the cut-off frequency is 350 MHz.
