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.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe providing a decoupling capacitor on a first wafer (or substrate) that is then bonded to a second wafer to form an integrated decoupling capacitor. Using wafer bonding means that the decoupling capacitor can be added to the second wafer without having to take up space in the second wafer. In one embodiment, after bonding the first and second wafers, one or more vias are formed through the second wafer to establish an electrical connection between the decoupling capacitor and bond pads on a first surface of the second wafer. An electrical IC can then be flip chipped bonded to the first surface. As part of coupling the decoupling capacitor to the electrical IC, the decoupling capacitor is connected between the rails of a power source (e.g., VDD and VSS) that provides power to the electrical IC.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include an optical waveguide emitter that includes a first optical waveguide and a second optical waveguide that are evanescently coupled and collectively configured to selectively propagate only a first mode of a plurality of optical modes. Each of the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide extend through an input waveguide section, a turning waveguide section, and an output waveguide section. One or more of the input waveguide section, the turning waveguide section, and the output waveguide section includes an optically active region. The optical waveguide emitter further includes a refractive index-increasing feature in the turning waveguide section.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an optical apparatus comprises forming a first waveguide on a dielectric substrate. The first waveguide extends in a direction of an optical path. The first waveguide comprises a monocrystalline semiconductor material and is doped with a first conductivity type. The method further comprises depositing a first dielectric layer on the first waveguide, etching a first opening that extends at least partly through the first dielectric layer, and forming a second waveguide at least partly overlapping the first waveguide along the direction. The second waveguide is doped with a different, second conductivity type. Forming the second waveguide comprises depositing a monocrystalline semiconductor material on the first dielectric layer, whereby the first opening is filled with the deposited monocrystalline semiconductor material.
