    摘要： A wafer-level testing arrangement for opto-electronic devices formed in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer structure utilizes a single opto-electronic testing element to perform both optical and electrical testing. Beam steering optics may be formed on the testing element and used to facilitate the coupling between optical probe signals and optical coupling elements (e.g., prism couplers, gratings) formed on the top surface of the SOI structure. The optical test signals are thereafter directed into optical waveguides formed in the top layer of the SOI structure. The opto-electronic testing element also comprises a plurality of electrical test pins that are positioned to contact a plurality of bondpad test sites on the opto-electronic device and perform electrical testing operations. The optical test signal results may be converted into electrical representations within the SOI structure and thus returned to the testing element as electrical signals.

    摘要： An arrangement for actively controlling, in two dimensions, the manipulation of light within an SOI-based optical structure utilizes doped regions formed within the SOI layer and a polysilicon layer of a silicon-insulator-silicon capacitive (SISCAP) structure. The regions are oppositely doped so as to form an active device, where the application of a voltage potential between the oppositely doped regions functions to modify the refractive index in the affected area and alter the properties of an optical signal propagating through the region. The doped regions may be advantageously formed to exhibit any desired “shaped” (such as, for example, lenses, prisms, Bragg gratings, etc.), so as to manipulate the propagating beam as a function of the known properties of these devices. One or more active devices of the present invention may be included within a SISCAP formed, SOI-based optical element (such as, for example, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, ring resonator, optical switch, etc.) so as to form an active, tunable element.

    摘要： An SOI-based opto-electronic structure includes various electronic components disposed with their associated optical components within a single SOI layer, forming a monolithic arrangement. EMI/EMC shielding is provided by forming a metallized outer layer on the surface of an external prism coupler that interfaces with the SOI layer, the metallized layer including transparent apertures to allow an optical signal to be coupled into and out of the SOI layer. The opposing surface of the prism coupler may also be coated with a metallic material to provide additional shielding. Further, metallic shielding plates may be formed on the SOI structure itself, overlying the locations of EMI-sensitive electronics. All of these metallic layers are ultimately coupled to an external ground plane to isolate the structure and provide the necessary shielding.

    摘要： A planar optical isolator is formed within the silicon surface layer of an SOI structure. A forward-directed signal is applied to an input waveguiding section of the isolator and thereafter propagates through a non-reciprocal waveguide coupling region into an output waveguide section. A rearward-directed signal enters via the output waveguide section and is thereafter coupled into the non-reciprocal waveguide structure, where the geometry of the structure functions to couple only a small amount of the reflected signal into the input waveguide section. In one embodiment, the non-reciprocal structure comprises an N-way directional coupler (with one output waveguide, one input waveguide and N-1 isolating waveguides). In another embodiment, the non-reciprocal structure comprises a waveguide expansion region including a tapered, mode-matching portion coupled to the output waveguide and an enlarged, non-mode matching portion coupled to the input waveguide such that a majority of a reflected signal will be mismatched with respect to the input waveguide section. By cascading a number of such planar SOI-based structures, increased isolation can be achieved—advantageously within a monolithic arrangement.

    摘要： An arrangement for achieving and maintaining high efficiency coupling of light between a multi-wavelength optical signal and a relatively thin (e.g., sub-micron) silicon optical waveguide uses a prism coupler in association with an evanescent coupling layer. A grating structure having a period less than the wavelengths of transmission is formed in the coupling region (either formed in the silicon waveguide, evanescent coupling layer, prism coupler, or any combination thereof) so as to increase the effective refractive index “seen” by the multi-wavelength optical signal in the area where the beam exiting/entering the prism coupler intercepts the waveguide surface (referred to as the “prism coupling surface”). The period and/or duty cycle of the grating can be controlled to modify the effective refractive index profile in the direction away from the coupling region so as to reduce the effective refractive index from the relatively high value useful in multi-wavelength coupling to the lower value associated with maintaining confinement of the optical signals within the surface waveguide structure, thus reducing reflections along the transition region.

    摘要： An arrangement for providing optical coupling between a free-space propagating optical signal and an ultrathin silicon waveguide formed in an upper silicon layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure includes a silicon nanotaper structure formed in the upper silicon layer (SOI layer) of the SOI structure and coupled to the ultrathin silicon waveguide. A dielectric waveguide coupling layer, with a refractive index greater than the index of the dielectric insulating layer but less than the refractive index of silicon, is disposed so as to overly a portion of the dielectric insulating layer in a region where an associated portion of the SOI layer has been removed. An end portion of the dielectric waveguide coupling layer is disposed to overlap an end section of the silicon nanotaper to form a mode conversion region between the free-space propagating optical signal and the ultrathin silicon waveguide. A free-space optical coupling arrangement (such as a prism or grating) is disposed over the dielectric waveguide coupling layer and used to couple a propagating optical signal between free space and the dielectric waveguide coupling layer and thereafter into the ultrathin silicon waveguide.

    摘要： An SOI-based photonic bandgap (PBG) electro-optic device utilizes a patterned PBG structure to define a two-dimensional waveguide within an active waveguiding region of the SOI electro-optic device. The inclusion of the PBG columnar arrays within the SOI structure results in providing extremely tight lateral confinement of the optical mode within the waveguiding structure, thus significantly reducing the optical loss. By virtue of including the PBG structure, the associated electrical contacts may be placed in closer proximity to the active region without affecting the optical performance, thus increasing the switching speed of the electro-optic device. The overall device size, capacitance and resistance are also reduced as a consequence of using PBGs for lateral mode confinement.
