A continuous tunable laser system includes at least one DBR laser. The DBR laser includes a Phase section, a Braggs section, and a gain medium. The DBR laser is capable of generating a continuous-wave laser signal. A Phase current input is electrically connected to the Phase section. A Bragg current input is electrically connected to the Bragg section and synchronized with the Phase current input. A gain control input is electrically connected to the gain medium.

A photonic antenna uses a traveling wave fed, surface wave excited, dielectric waveguide. One or more antenna elements are arranged in a line or other array. An optical interconnect is provide by depositing the waveguide structure on the system of antenna elements, and the photodiode detectors on the waveguide, or wafer bonded to the waveguide core. Optical sources are butt coupled to the edge of the waveguide via wafer bonding or as part of a deposition process. The device acts as a free-space optical transceiver embodied in an integrated photonic antenna and waveguide structure, and provides high speed, spectrally broadband response; it also inherently includes an open architecture for implementing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM).

A rectifier comprising a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure. The insulator may be a native oxide with an adjacent layer of graphene. In one implementation, the rectifier is used in an electromagnetic energy collector consisting of a planar waveguide formed of multiple material layers having at least two different dielectric constants. MIM rectifiers are aligned with mirrors are formed within the waveguide core. In some arrangements, a plurality of MIM rectifiers are disposed in a column or 3D array beneath each mirror.
