Photonic Passive Delay Lines with Reduced Parasitic Losses - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18234562 titled 'Photonic Passive Delay Lines with Reduced Parasitic Losses
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes photonic passive delay lines with waveguides wound into straight segments and bends to reduce losses from parasitic modes of light. The dimensions of the straight segments vary to provide different amounts of dephasing between input light and parasitic modes.

Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments disclosed herein describe photonic passive delay lines that have a waveguide wound into a plurality of straight segments and bends. The photonic passive delay lines are configured to reduce losses from parasitic modes of light generated at the bends. Embodiments of the photonic passive delay lines vary the dimensions of the straight segments to provide different amounts of dephasing between a mode of input light received by the photonic passive delay line and one or more parasitic modes.
