Abstract: The invention provides a method for fabricating planar waveguiding structures with embedded microchannels. The method includes the step of depositing, over a planar template having at least one indented feature comprising a ridge of a first optical material and a narrow trench adjacent thereto, a second optical material, and the step of subsequent annealing thereof, so that an embedded hollow microchannel forms within the trench. The method provides planar structures wherein the ridge and the embedded microchannel cooperate to form an optical waveguiding structure having a waveguiding direction collinear with the embedded microchannel. Embodiments of the method for forming microfluidic devices integrating ridge waveguides with hollow microchannels having surface access points for fluid delivery, and for forming photonic crystals, are disclosed together with corresponding device embodiments.

Abstract: An optical attenuator and/or optical terminator is provided. The device includes an optical channel having two regions with different optical properties, such as an undoped silicon region which is less optically absorptive and a doped silicon region which is more optically absorptive. Other materials may also be used. A facet at the interface between the two regions is oriented at a non-perpendicular angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the channel. The angle can be configured to mitigate back reflection. Multiple facets may be included between different pairs of regions. The device may further include curved and/or tapers to further facilitate attenuation and/or optical termination.

Abstract: A photonic platform based polarization controller providing a fixed target polarization is disclosed. The polarization controller has a polarization rotator splitter splitting the beam into first and second feeds corresponding to first and second orthogonal polarization components. A first Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) stage provides a first phase delay between the first and second feeds based on a first control signal, and a first mixer mixes the first and second feeds to provide third and fourth feeds. A second MZI stage provides a second phase delay between the third and fourth feeds based on a second control signal, and a second mixer mixes the third and fourth feeds to provide fifth and sixth feeds. A third MZI stage provides a third phase delay between the fifth and sixth feeds based on a third control signal, and a third mixer mixes the fifth and sixth feeds to provide the fixed target polarization. An optical tap splits a portion of the beam.

Abstract: A tapered optical fiber component is provided that has an optical fiber with a cladded region. An optical core passes through the cladded region. The cladded region has a tapered extended first region drawn down in diameter to form an effective area region that has a predetermined effective area. The tapered extended first region is formed to adiabatically concentrate an optical signal for propagation through the effective area region of reduced diameter. The power density of the optical signal propagating through the effective area region is increased as an inverse function of the effective area.
