    摘要: A CMOS driver circuit is configured to provide a tri-state condition after a predetermined number of like-valued data bits have been transmitted, reducing the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) along a transmission channel. In situations where the transmission channel is bandwidth-limited, the use of the tri-stating technique allows for the complete transition to the supply rails during the given bit period.

    摘要: The surface silicon layer (SOI layer) of an SOI-based optical modulator is processed to exhibit a corrugated surface along the direction of optical signal propagation. The required dielectric layer (i.e., relatively thin “gate oxide”) is formed over the corrugated structure in a manner that preserves the corrugated topology. A second silicon layer, required to form the modulator structure, is then formed over the gate oxide in a manner that follows the corrugated topology, where the overlapping portion of the corrugated SOI layer, gate oxide and second silicon layer defines the active region of the modulator. The utilization of the corrugated active region increases the area over which optical field intensity will overlap with the free carrier modulation region, improving the modulator's efficiency.

    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.

    摘要: Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are used to perform the integrated design, verification and layout of electrical and optical components in a monolithic, silicon-based electro-optic chip. Separate top-level behavioral logic designs are prepared for the three different types of elements included within the final, silicon-based monolithic structure: (1) digital electronic integrated circuit elements; (2) analog/mixed signal electronic integrated circuit elements; and (3) opto-electronic elements (including passive and active optical elements). Once the behavioral logic design is completed, the results are combined and co-simulated. A physical layout design is developed and verified for each different type of element in the circuit. The separate physical layouts are then co-verified, to assess the properties of the overall physical design. The results of the co-simulation are compared to the results of the co-verification, with alterations made in the logic design and/or the physical layout until the desired operating parameters are obtained. Once the desired results are generated, conventional wafer-level fabrication operations are then considered to provide a final product (“tape out”).

    摘要: An improvement in the reliability and lifetime of SOI-based opto-electronic systems is provided through the use of a monolithic opto-electronic feedback arrangement that monitors one or more optical signals within the opto-electronic system and provides an electrical feedback signal to adjust the operation parameters of selected optical devices. For example, input signal coupling orientation may be controlled. Alternatively, the operation of an optical modulator, switch, filter, or attenuator may be under closed-loop feedback control by virtue of the inventive monolithic feedback arrangement. The feedback arrangement may also include a calibration/look-up table, coupled to the control electronics, to provide the baseline signals used to analyze the system's performance.

    摘要: A tunable optical coupling arrangement for use with a relatively thin (generally sub-micron thickness) silicon waveguiding layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The arrangement comprises a multi-layer structure including a substrate for supporting one or more diffractive optical elements and a layer of tunable liquid crystal material. The multi-layer structure is disposed over a conventional SOI substrate including the thin silicon waveguiding layer, where the refractive index of the liquid crystal material can be modified to adjust the deflection of an input optical beam through the various diffractive optical elements and present an optimized launch angle into the silicon waveguiding layer, thus reducing insertion loss at the waveguiding layer.
