摘要： Methods and apparatus for spreading and concentrating information to constant-weight encode data words on a parallel data line bus while allowing communication of information across sub-word paths. In one embodiment, data transfer rates previously obtained only with differential architectures are achieved by only a small increase in line count above single ended architectures. For example, an 18-bit data word requires 22 encoded data lines for transmission, where previously, 16 and 32 lines would be required to transmit un-coded data with single-ended and differential architectures respectively. Constant-weight parallel encoding maintains constant current in the parallel-encoded data lines and the high and low potential driver circuits for the signal lines.

摘要： A comb light source and spectrometer is disclosed. The comb light source and spectrometer can include a plurality of light emitters, where each light emitter can be configured to emit light included in a plurality of wavelength bands. Each wavelength band can be separated from an adjacent wavelength band by a noise band. Due to the separated wavelength bands for a light emitter, any signal received outside of the one or more wavelength bands can originate from noise (e.g., drift, ambient light, electrical noise), thereby enhancing signal analysis and noise rejection. In some examples, the comb light emitters can be activated sequentially such that a plurality of wavelengths across a spectrum can be measured. In some examples, the resolution and the number of spectral lines in the comb light source can be tuned by changing the properties of the quantum dots and/or increasing the number of comb light emitters.
