    Abstract: Techniques and systems for a semiconductor laser, namely a grating-coupled surface-emitting (GCSE) comb laser, having thermal management for facilitating dissipation of heat, integrated thereon. The thermal management is structured in manner that prevents deformation or damage to the GCSE laser chips included in the semiconductor laser implementation. The disclosed thermal management elements integrated in the laser can include: heat sinks; support bars; solder joints; thermal interface material (TIM); silicon vias (TSV); and terminal conductive sheets. Support bars, for example, having the GCSE laser chip positioned between the bars and having a height that is higher than a thickness of the GCSE laser chip. Accordingly, the heat sink can be placed on top of the support bars such that heat is dissipated from the GCSE laser chip, and the heat sink is separated from directed contact with the GCSE laser chip due to the height of the support bars.

    Abstract: An photonic circuit includes a substrate, a plurality of first light waveguides disposed on the substrate, the first light waveguides extending in a first direction, a plurality of second light waveguides disposed on the substrate and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a plurality of first micro-ring resonators disposed on the substrate. Each of the first light waveguides has an intersection with each of the second light waveguides. Each of the intersections is provided with a first micro-ring resonator of the first micro-ring resonators. Each first micro-ring resonator is configured to route signals of a respective wavelength from one of the light waveguides at the intersection to another light waveguide at the intersection.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide etch-variation tolerant optical coupling components and processes for making the same. An etch-variation tolerant geometry is determined for at least one waveguide of an optical coupling component (e.g., a directional coupler). The geometry is optimized such that each fabricated instance of an optical component design with the etch-variation tolerant geometry has substantially the same coupling ratio at any etch depth between a shallow etch depth and a deep etch depth.
