Abstract: Structures for a waveguide bend and methods of fabricating a structure for a waveguide bend. A first waveguide core has a first section, a second section, and a first waveguide bend connecting the first section with the second section. The first waveguide core has a first side surface extending about an outer radius of the first waveguide bend. A second waveguide core also has a first section, a second section, and a second waveguide bend connecting the first section with the second section. The second waveguide core has a second side surface extending about an outer radius of the second waveguide bend. The first waveguide bend is spaced from the second waveguide bend in a first non-contacting relationship with a gap between the first side surface and the second side surface. The gap has a perpendicular distance selected to permit optical signal transfer between the first and second waveguide bends.

Abstract: Structures with waveguides in multiple levels and methods of fabricating a structure that includes waveguides in multiple levels. A waveguide crossing has a first waveguide and a second waveguide arranged to intersect the first waveguide. A third waveguide is displaced vertically from the waveguide crossing, The third waveguide includes a portion having an overlapping arrangement with a portion of the first waveguide. The overlapping portions of the first and third waveguides are configured to transfer optical signals between the first waveguide and the third waveguide.

Abstract: Structures that include an optical component, such as a grating coupler, and methods of fabricating a structure that includes an optical component, such as a grating coupler. First and second layers are arranged over the optical component with the first layer arranged between the second layer and the optical component. The first and second layers are each composed of a tunable material having a refractive index that is a function of a bias voltage applied to the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: Structures for a wavelength-division multiplexing filter and methods of fabricating a structure for a wavelength-division multiplexing filter. The structure includes a first waveguide core, a second waveguide core laterally spaced from the first waveguide core, and a ring resonator arranged in a vertical direction over the first waveguide core and the second waveguide core. The ring resonator is also arranged in a lateral direction between the first waveguide core and the second waveguide core. The first and second waveguide cores are composed of a semiconductor material, such as single-crystal silicon, and the ring resonator is composed of a dielectric material, such as silicon nitride.
