    摘要: An optical waveguide network (11) is formed in an integrated optics chip (58) that includes a substrate (16) formed of an electrooptically active material. The optical waveguide network (11) has an input facet (46) where optical signals may be input to the optical waveguide network (11) and an output facet (48) where optical signals may be output from the optical waveguide network (11). A structure (60) is located in an upper portion (44) of the substrate (16) to prevent surface waves that propagate in the substrate (16) from cross coupling into the output facet (48).

    摘要: An integrated optics chip (70) includes an optical waveguide network (11) formed on a surface (106) of a substrate (72) formed of an electrooptically active material. The optical waveguide network (11) has an input facet (86) where an optical signal may be input to the optical waveguide network (11) and an output facet (88) where optical signals may be output from the optical waveguide network (11). A trench (74) is formed in the bottom surface (80) of the substrate and arranged to extend into the substrate toward the optical waveguide network (11). The trench (74) prevents light rays incident thereon from inside the substrate (72) from propagating to the output facet (88). In particular, the trench (74) prevents light scattered at the input facet (86) or from scattering centers in the optical waveguide network (11) from reflecting from the bottom surface (80) of the substrate (72) to the output facet (88). A cover (78) may be mounted to the top surface (106) of the substrate (72) to provide structural strength to the integrated optics chip (70). One or more side grooves (143, 144) may be formed in the sides of the substrate (72) and cover (78). A light absorbing material may be placed in the trench (74) and grooves (143, 144). A plurality of electrodes (150) may be formed on the substrate (72) adjacent the optical waveguide network (11), and a plurality of access electrodes (158, 160) may be formed on sides of the substrate (72) and cover (78) to provide electrical signals to the electrodes (150).

    摘要: An optical waveguide network (11) is formed in a substrate (78) of an electrooptically active material. The optical waveguide network 11 has input and output facets (50, 52) where optical signals may be input to and output from the integrated optics chip (82). At least one lateral trench (84) is formed in the substrate (78). The lateral trench (84) is arranged to prevent light rays incident thereon from inside the substrate (78) from propagating to the output facet (52). The lateral trench (84) may be formed as a slot that extends toward the surface of the substrate (78) where the optical waveguide network (11) is formed, or the trench (84) may be parallel to the plane of the optical waveguides (11). The trench (84) may be formed in a surface (71, 77) that is either parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the optical waveguide network (11).
