Abstract: Structures for a waveguide and methods of fabricating a structure for a waveguide. A first layer and a second layer are positioned in a layer stack on a surface of a waveguide core. The first layer is positioned in the layer stack between the second layer and the surface of the waveguide core. The waveguide core is composed of a first material having a first refractive index, the first layer is composed of a second material having a second refractive index that is less than the first refractive index of the first material, and the second layer is composed of a third material having a third refractive index that is less than the second refractive index of the second material.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a waveguide-confining layer, a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die with embodiments of a waveguide-confining layer, and methods to form the same. The waveguide-confining layer may include an oxide layer over a buried insulator layer, a silicon-based optical confinement structure embedded within or positioned on the oxide layer, and first and second blocking layers over the oxide layer and separated from each other by a horizontal slot. The first and second blocking layers include a metal or an oxide. A gain medium is positioned on the oxide layer and within the horizontal slot between the first and second blocking layers, and has a lower refractive index than each of the first and second blocking layers. The gain medium is vertically aligned with the silicon-based optical confinement structure, and a portion of the oxide layer separates the gain medium from the silicon-based optical confinement structure.

Abstract: Structures for a waveguide crossing and methods of fabricating a structure for a waveguide crossing. A waveguide crossing includes a central section and an arm positioned between a waveguide core and the central section. The arm and the waveguide core are aligned along a longitudinal axis. The arm is coupled to the waveguide core at a first interface, and the arm is coupled to a portion of the central section at a second interface. The arm has a first width at the first interface, a second width at the second interface, and a third width between the first interface and the second interface. The third width is greater than either the first width or the second width.

Abstract: Structures for a photodetector or light absorber and methods of forming a structure for a photodetector or light absorber. The structure includes a pad, a waveguide core adjoined to the pad, and a light-absorbing layer on the pad. The waveguide core includes a first longitudinal axis, and the light-absorbing layer includes a second longitudinal axis and an end surface intersected by the second longitudinal axis. The end surface of the light-absorbing layer is positioned adjacent to the waveguide core. The first longitudinal axis of the first waveguide core is inclined relative to the second longitudinal axis of the light-absorbing layer and/or the end surface slanted relative to the second longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Structures for a waveguide crossing and methods of forming such structures. The structure comprises a first waveguide core including a first section, a second section, and a first longitudinal axis. The first section and the second section are aligned along the first longitudinal axis, the first section is terminated by a first end, the second section is terminated by a second end, and the first end of the first section is longitudinally spaced from the second end of the second section by a gap. The structure further comprises a second waveguide core having a second longitudinal axis angled relative to the first longitudinal axis. The second longitudinal axis of the second waveguide core crosses the first longitudinal axis of the first waveguide core within the gap.
