Application: Electro-optic transducer with integrated optical delay line (Patent ID: US20240195512A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes an electronic structure that facilitates the conversion of photons between optical and microwave domains. The structure includes a resonator assembly with microwave and optical resonators, an optical pump waveguide for inputting an optical pump, an optical signal waveguide for transmitting optical signals, and a microwave signal waveguide. The optical pump waveguide includes a delay portion to reduce decoherence caused by scattered light.
The method outlined in the patent involves transmissively coupling devices by inputting an optical pump through a waveguide to a resonator assembly with microwave and optical resonators. An optical signal is then transmitted through a separate waveguide. The method includes delaying the optical pump input transmission to reduce decoherence, converting signals between microwave and optical domains, and transmitting microwave signals. The patent also describes an electronic system with multiple transducers for coupling quantum computers.
