Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a semiconductor photonic device having a waveguide disposed above a substrate. The waveguide has a first section including amorphous silicon with a first refractive index, and a second section including crystalline silicon with a second refractive index different from the first refractive index. The semiconductor photonic device further includes a heat element at a vicinity of the first section of the waveguide. The heat element is arranged to generate heat to transform the amorphous silicon of the first section of the waveguide to partially or completely crystallized crystalline silicon with a third refractive index. The amorphous silicon in the first section may be formed with silicon lattice defects caused by an element implanted into the first section. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for an optical coupler including an optical waveguide to guide light to an optical fiber. In embodiments, the optical waveguide includes a tapered segment to propagate the received light to the optical fiber. In embodiments, the tapered segment is buried below a surface of a semiconductor substrate to transition the received light within the semiconductor substrate from a first optical mode to a second optical mode to reduce a loss of light during propagation of the received light from the optical waveguide to the optical fiber. In embodiments, the surface of the semiconductor substrate comprises a bottom planar surface of a silicon photonic chip that includes at least one or more of passive or active photonic components. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure describe a tapered waveguide and a method of making the tapered waveguide, wherein the tapered waveguide comprises a first and a second waveguide, wherein the first and second waveguides overlap in a waveguide overlap area. The first and second waveguides have a different size in at least one dimension perpendicular to an intended direction of propagation of electromagnetic radiation through the tapered waveguide. Across the waveguide overlap area, one of the waveguides gradually transitions or tapers into the other.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for an optical coupler. In some embodiments, the device may include an optical waveguide to transmit light input from a light source. The optical waveguide may include a semiconductor layer, having a trench with one facet that comprises an edge formed under an approximately 45 degree angle and another facet formed substantially normal to the semiconductor layer. The edge may interface with another medium to form a mirror to receive inputted light and reflect received light substantially perpendicularly to propagate the received light. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A kinematically aligned optical connector may be implemented with a silicon PIC component and a glass substrate component. The kinematically aligned optical connector includes one or more kinematic connectors or mechanical alignment features and visual fiducials that enable true kinematic coupling (i.e., in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, full constraint in all 6 degrees of freedom, meaning, X, Y, Z planes and all 3 angles), and enables an increased thickness of the glass substrate material of the glass waveguide substrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing a photonic IC (PIC) with an optical probe having an out-of-plane edge coupler to convey test signals between the out-of-plane probe and an edge coupled photonic waveguide within a plane of the PIC. To accommodate dimensions of the optical probe, a test trench may be fabricated in the PIC near an edge coupler of the waveguide. The optical probe may be displaced along one or more axes relative to a prober to position a free end of the prober within the test trench and to align the probe's out-of-plane edge coupler with an edge coupler of a PIC waveguide. Accordingly, a PIC may be probed at the wafer-level, without first dicing a wafer into PIC chips or bars. The optical probe may be physically coupled to a prober through a contact sensor to detect and/or avoid physical contact between probe and PIC.

Abstract: A method may include: forming a base layer on a substrate; forming a waveguide assembly on the base layer, where the waveguide assembly is surrounded by a cladding layer; forming a trench opening through the cladding layer and the base layer; forming an undercut void by etching the substrate through the trench opening, where the undercut void extends under the waveguide assembly and the base layer; and filling the trench opening with a filler to seal off the undercut void. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
