The system also includes an optical dispersion element which separates the collimated light from the collimating lens into a plurality of light beams and direct each of the plurality of light beams to a respective section of the plurality of grating sections. Each light beam in the plurality of light beams is diffracted from the optical dispersion element at a different wavelength a light beam of the plurality of light beams is directed to a respective section of the plurality of grating sections at a respective incidence angle based on the wavelength of the light beam of the plurality of light beams to provide optimum grating coupling.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for an optical modulator that includes a first silicon region, a polycrystalline silicon region; a gate oxide region joining the first silicon region to a first side of the polycrystalline region; and a second silicon region formed on a second side of the polycrystalline silicon region opposite to the first side, thereby defining an active region of an optical modulator between the first silicon region, the polycrystalline region, the gate oxide region, and the second silicon region. The polycrystalline silicon region may be between 0 and 60 nanometers thick, and may be formed or patterned to the desired thickness. The second silicon region may be epitaxially grown from the polycrystalline silicon region and patterned into a desired cross sectional shape separately from or in combination with the polycrystalline silicon region.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method comprising forming an insulator layer above a silicon layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A first optical device is formed partly in the silicon layer and partly in the insulator layer. A first optical waveguide is formed in the insulator layer and optically coupled with the first optical device. The method further comprises forming conductive contacts extending partly through the insulator layer to the first optical device, bonding a first surface of an interposer with a top surface of the insulator layer, and forming, from a second surface of the interposer opposite the first surface, a plurality of first conductive vias extending at least partly through the interposer. The plurality of first conductive vias are coupled with the conductive contacts.

Abstract: An optical waveguide structure includes a rotator having a dual-layer core. A first layer of the dual-layer core may include a tapering portion. A second layer of the dual-layer core may include a rib portion disposed on the tapering portion. The combination of the rib portion and the tapering portion may receive a pair of optical signals, one being polarized in a TE mode and the other being polarized in a TM mode, and convert them to a pair of TE mode optical signals.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to optical coupling between a highly-confined waveguide region and a low confined waveguide region in an optical device. The low confined waveguide region includes a trench in a substrate of the optical device in order to provide additional dielectric layer thickness for insulation between the substrate of the optical device and waveguides for light signals having a low optical mode. The low confined waveguide region is coupled to the highly-confined waveguide region via a waveguide overlap and in some embodiments via an intermediary coupling waveguide.
