ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,710,595, issued on Aug. 18, was assigned to NVIDIA Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Bidirectional microring resonator-based photonic link architecture" was invented by Angad Rekhi (San Francisco) and Benjamin Giles Lee (Ridgefield, Conn.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Optical transceiver architecture utilizing micro-ring modulators and micro-ring resonators configured to route resonant wavelengths of light injected into each micro-ring resonator's input port and through port to that micro-ring resonator's drop port and add port, respectively. The micro-ring resonators drop two distinct streams of data modulated onto the same optical wavelen...
