    摘要: A method forms a vertical output coupler for a waveguide that propagates light along a horizontal propagation direction, through a waveguide material that overlies a buried oxide layer. The method includes etching the waveguide to remove a portion of the waveguide. The etching forms at least a first plane that is at an edge of the waveguide, is adjacent to the removed portion of the waveguide, and is tilted at a vertical angle between 20 degrees and 70 degrees with respect to the propagation direction. The method further includes coating the first tilted plane with a reflective metal to form a mirror, such that the mirror reflects the light into a direction having a vertical component.

    摘要: A scanning device is presented having a substrate with a first surface and an opposite, parallel second surface. A region of the substrate includes the first surface and the opposite parallel second surface, and is defined via an etching process through a thickness of the substrate, where the region remains attached to the substrate via one or more hinges. A waveguide is patterned over the first surface of the region and guides a beam of radiation along a length of the waveguide. The scanning device includes a facet located on the first surface of the region. The facet is designed to reflect at least a portion of the beam of radiation through the region. An optical element is located on the second surface of the region, and is designed to receive the reflected portion of the beam of radiation.

    摘要: A semiconductor photonics device (100) for coupling radiation to a semiconductor waveguide (130) is described. The photonics device comprises a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate comprising a semiconductor substrate (110), a buried oxide layer (120) positioned on top of the semiconductor substrate (110) and the semiconductor waveguide (130) on top of the buried oxide layer to which radiation is to be coupled. The device (100) also comprises a grating coupler (140) positioned on top of the buried oxide layer (120) and configured for coupling incident radiation to the semiconductor waveguide (130). The semiconductor substrate (110) has a recessed portion (110) at the backside of the semiconductor substrate (110) for receiving incident radiation to be coupled to the semiconductor waveguide (130) via the backside of the semiconductor substrate (110) and the grating coupler (140).
