Abstract: A three-dimensional photonic integrated structure includes a first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate. The first substrate incorporates a first waveguide and the second semiconductor substrate incorporates a second waveguide. An intermediate region located between the two substrates is formed by a one dielectric layer. The second substrate further includes an optical coupler configured for receiving a light signal. The first substrate and dielectric layer form a reflective element located below and opposite the grating coupler in order to reflect at least one part of the light signal.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a waveguide includes an upstream portion, a downstream portion, and an intermediate portion between the upstream portion and the downstream portion. A first band is disposed on an insulating layer, the first band oriented along a first direction. A first lateral strip and a second lateral strip are disposed on either side of the first band, the first lateral strip and the second lateral strip being thinner or interrupted along the intermediate portion.

Abstract: An E/O phase modulator may include a waveguide having an insulating substrate, a single-crystal silicon strip and a polysilicon strip of a same thickness and doped with opposite conductivity types above the insulating substrate, and an insulating interface layer between the single-crystal silicon strip and polysilicon strip. Each of the single-crystal silicon strip and polysilicon strip may be laterally continued by a respective extension, and a respective electrical contact coupled to each extension.

Abstract: A method for making an electro-optic device includes forming a first photonic device having a first material in a first photonic layer over a substrate layer. A second photonic layer with a second photonic device is formed over the first photonic layer and includes a second material different than the first material. A dielectric layer is formed over the second photonic layer. A first electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer and the second photonic layer is formed so as to couple to the first photonic device. A second electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer and coupling to the second photonic device is formed. A third electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer, the second photonic layer, and the first photonic layer is formed so as to couple to the substrate layer.

Abstract: A photonic system includes a first photonic circuit having a first face and a second photonic circuit having a second face. The first photonic circuit comprises first wave guides, and, for each first wave guide, a second wave guide covering the first wave guide, the second wave guides being in contact with the first face and placed between the first face and the second face, the first wave guides being located on the side of the first face opposite the second wave guides. The second photonic circuit comprises, for each second wave guide, a third wave guide covering the second wave guide. The first photonic circuit comprises first positioning devices projecting from the first face and the second photonic circuit comprises second positioning devices projecting from the second face, at least one of the first positioning devices abutting one of the second positioning devices in a first direction.

Abstract: A photodiode includes an active area formed by intrinsic germanium. The active area is located within a cavity formed in a silicon layer. The cavity is defined by opposed side walls which are angled relative to a direction perpendicular to a bottom surface of the silicon layer. The angled side walls support epitaxial growth of the intrinsic germanium with minimal lattice defects.
