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.

Abstract: A structure includes a polarization device such as a polarization splitter, a polarization combiner or a polarization splitter rotator including a waveguide having a light absorber at an end section with an at least hook shape, e.g., it can be hooked or spiral shape. The structure also includes another waveguide adjacent the stated waveguide. The hook or spiral shape acts as a light absorber that reduces undesired optical noise such as excessive light insertion loss and/or light scattering. The hook or spiral shape may also be used on supplemental waveguides used to further filter and/or refine an optical signal in one of the waveguides of the polarization device, e.g., downstream of an output section of the polarization splitter and/or rotator.
