    Abstract: A grating coupled laser (GCL) includes an active section and a passive section. The passive section is butt coupled to the active section to form a butt joint with the active section. The active section includes an active waveguide. The passive section includes a passive waveguide, a transmit grating coupler, and a top cladding. The passive waveguide is optically coupled end to end with the active waveguide and includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the passive waveguide is positioned between the second portion of the passive waveguide and the active waveguide. The transmit grating coupler is optically coupled to the passive waveguide and includes grating teeth that extend upward from the second portion of the passive waveguide. The top cladding is positioned directly above the first portion of the passive waveguide and is absent directly above at least some of the transmit grating coupler.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic assembly may include a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) with a top surface and a laser with a top surface and a bottom surface. The optoelectronic assembly may also include a housing configured to cooperate with the PIC to one or both of house and support one or more components. The housing may include a PIC mount including a first surface to interface with the top surface of the PIC, and a laser mount including a second surface to interface with the top or bottom surface of the laser. The first surface and the second surface may be parallel to each other.

    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to polarization splitters. A polarization splitter may include a silicon nitride (SiN) waveguide core configured to receive an input light signal having a first polarization mode and a second polarization mode. The polarization splitter may further include a silicon (Si) slot waveguide core disposed proximate the SiN waveguide core. The Si slot waveguide core may include a tapered portion at a first end configured to couple the first polarization mode to the Si slot waveguide.
