Abstract: Structures for a waveguide crossing and methods of fabricating a structure for a waveguide crossing. The structure comprises a first waveguide core and a second waveguide core each including a first section, a second section, and a first waveguide bend connecting the first section to the second section. The second section terminates the first waveguide core. The second section terminates the second waveguide core. The second waveguide bend has a side surface that is spaced from a side surface of the first waveguide bend by a gap. A third waveguide core is terminated by a section having an overlapping arrangement with the second section of the first waveguide core. A fourth waveguide core is terminated by a section having an overlapping arrangement with the second section of the second waveguide core.

Abstract: Structures including a waveguide core and methods of fabricating a structure including a waveguide core. The structure comprises a photonics chip including a first chip region, a second chip region, a first waveguide core in the first chip region, and a second waveguide core in the second chip region. The first chip region adjoins the second chip region along a boundary. The first waveguide core includes a first tapered section, and the second waveguide core includes a second tapered section positioned across the boundary from the first tapered section. The first tapered section has a first width dimension that increases with increasing distance from the boundary, and the second tapered section has a second width dimension that increases with increasing distance from the boundary.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die includes a silicon nitride optical component over an active region. Multiple interconnect layers are over the silicon nitride optical component, each of the multiple interconnect layers including a metal interconnect therein. At least one optical deflector is over the multiple interconnect layers and over the silicon nitride optical component. The optical deflector(s) may also include a contact passing therethrough to the interconnect layers, but do not include any other electrical interconnects. Each optical deflector may deflect light within an ambient light range of less than 570 nanometers (nm) to protect the silicon nitride optical component from light-induced degradation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure including a first waveguide core with a first end portion and a second waveguide core with a second end portion, which overlays and is physically separated from the first end portion. The structure includes a coupler configured for interlayer waveguide coupling. Specifically, the coupler includes an additional waveguide core stacked vertically between and physically separated from the first end portion and the second end portion. Optionally, the coupler includes multiple additional waveguide cores. The shapes of the various waveguide cores are configured in order to achieve mode matching so that optical signals pass between the first end portion of the first waveguide core and the second end portion of the second waveguide core through each additional waveguide core in sequence. Also disclosed is a structure including a crossing array implemented using couplers.
