Abstract
Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques related to a dual polarization chiplet that may be used by an optical receiver to split multi-polarized light traveling on a single fiber and carrying two or more light signals into two or more fibers each carrying the particular light signal. The dual polarization chiplet may also be used by an optical transmitter to combine multiple light signals to be transmitted onto a single fiber, where each of the multiple light signals are represented by a different polarization of a wavelength on the single fiber. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
