Abstract: Structures for a photonics chip that include a fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator field-effect transistor and related methods. A first device region of a substrate includes a first device layer, a first portion of a second device layer, and a buried insulator layer separating the first device layer from the first portion of the second device layer. A second device region of the substrate includes a second portion of the second device layer. The first device layer, which has a thickness in a range of about 4 to about 20 nanometers, transitions in elevation to the second portion of the second device layer with a step height equal to a sum of the thicknesses of the first device layer and the buried insulator layer. A field-effect transistor includes a gate electrode on the top surface of the first device layer. An optical component includes the second portion of the second device layer.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die are provided. The PIC die includes a set of optical connect grooves including a first groove aligning a core of a first optical fiber positioned with a first optical component in a first layer at a first vertical depth in a plurality of layers of a body of the die, and a second groove aligning a core of a second optical fiber positioned therein with a second optical component in a second, different layer at a second different vertical depth in the plurality of layers. The grooves may also have end faces at different lateral depths from an edge of the body of the PIC die. Any number of the first and second grooves can be used to communicate an optical signal to any number of layers at different vertical and/or lateral depths within the body of the PIC die.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure including a polarization device with first and second waveguides. The first waveguide includes a core (e.g., a silicon nitride (SiN) core) suitable for high-power applications. The second waveguide includes: a primary core (e.g., another SiN core), which is positioned laterally adjacent to the core of the first waveguide and suitable for high-power applications, and secondary core(s) stacked vertically with the primary core to steer the optical mode and ensure that mode matching occurs between adjacent first and second coupling sections of the first and second waveguides, respectively, in order to achieve high-power splitter and/or combiner functions. Optionally, the primary and secondary cores of the second waveguide can be tapered at least within the second coupling section to increase the likelihood of mode matching.
