Abstract: Aspects described herein include a mode multiplexer comprising a first optical waveguide extending between a first port and a second port. A first input mode of an optical signal entering the first port is propagated through the first optical waveguide to the second port. The mode multiplexer further comprises a second optical waveguide configured to evanescently couple with a coupling section of the first optical waveguide. A second input mode of the optical signal entering the first port is propagated through the second optical waveguide to a third port. The first optical waveguide further defines a filtering section between the coupling section and the second port, the filtering section configured to filter the second input mode.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for testing optical components in a photonic chip using a testing structure disposed in a sacrificial region of a wafer. In one embodiment, the wafer is processed to form multiple photonic chips integrated into the wafer. While forming optical components in the photonic chips (e.g., modulators, detectors, waveguides, etc.), a testing structure can be formed in one or more sacrificial regions in the wafer. In one embodiment, the testing structure is arranged near an edge coupler in the photonic chip such that an optical signal can be transferred between the photonic chip and the testing structure. Moreover, the testing structure has a grating coupler disposed at or near a top surface of the wafer which permits optical signals to be transmitted into, or received from, the grating coupler when an optical probe is arranged above the grating coupler.
