    Abstract: A lateral Ge/Si APD constructed on a silicon-on-insulator wafer includes a silicon device layer having regions that are doped to provide a lateral electric field and an avalanche region. A region having a modest doping level is in contact with a germanium body. There are no metal contacts made to the germanium body. The electrical contacts to the germanium body are made by way of the doped regions in the silicon device layer.

    Abstract: A composite optical waveguide is constructed using an array of waveguide cores, in which one core is tapered to a larger dimension, so that all the cores are used as a composite input port, and the one larger core is used as an output port. In addition, transverse couplers can be fabricated in a similar fashion. The waveguide cores are preferably made of SiN. In some cases, a layer of SiN which is provided as an etch stop is used as at least one of the waveguide cores. The waveguide cores can be spaced away from a semiconductor layer so as to minimize loses.

    Abstract: A variable power splitter apparatus and methods of using the same. In some cases, polarization dependent losses in a polarization-multiplexed system are minimized. In the systems and methods described here, in various configurations, the variable power splitter is either tunable or calibrated such that the difference in power between two optical loads is controlled to provide equal power after the respective light components traverse the respective optical loads. The result is that the average power is used. In one example, if the variable power splitter is tuned to balance the polarization dependent losses which occur in a 2:1 ratio, it would have a coupling ratio of 66/33, with the higher power going into the arm with twice the loss. The power in each path is then equal with a loss of 1.8 dB instead of 3 dB.
