Abstract: End-face coupling structures within an electrical backend are provided via photonic integrated circuit (PIC), comprising: a first plurality of spacer layers; a second plurality of etch-stop layers, wherein each etch-stop layer of the second plurality of etch-stop layers is located between two spacer layers of the first plurality of spacer layers; and an optical coupler comprising a plurality of waveguides arranged as a waveguide array configured to receive an optical signal in a direction of travel, wherein each waveguide of the plurality of waveguides is located at a layer interface defined between an etch-stop layer and a spacer layer. Portions of the PIC can be formed by depositing layers of spacer and etch-stop materials in which cavities are formed to define the waveguides when the waveguide material is deposited or interconnects when a metal is deposited therein.

Abstract: Embodiments include a multimode interference (MMI) device with offset facets. The MMI device includes a first set of facets positioned on opposite edges of the MMI device with an optical path between the set of facets. The MMI device also includes a second set of facets positioned on opposite edges of the MMI device, where the second set of facets are offset from the first set of facets, where a second optical path passes through the MMI device between the second set of facets.

Abstract: Embodiments include a photonic device with a compensation structure. The photonic device includes a waveguide with a refractive index which changes according to the thermo-optic effect as a temperature of the photonic device fluctuates. The compensation structure is positioned on the photonic device to counteract or otherwise alter the thermo-optic effect on the refractive index of the waveguide in order to prevent malfunctions of the photonic device.
