    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: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for a MEMS device configured to determine inertial change applied to the device. In one instance, the device may comprise a laser arrangement configured to generate a light beam having a resonant wavelength, a waveguide configured to receive and output the light beam, and an optical resonator comprising a deformable closed loop and optically coupled to the waveguide to receive a portion of the light beam. A deformation of the optical resonator may result in a change of an optical path length of a portion of the light beam traveling through the optical resonator, causing a change in the resonant wavelength of the light beam outputted by the waveguide. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Described herein are IC devices that include hybrid lasers formed with a bonding layer. Hybrid lasers include an active light-emitting region coupled to a waveguide. In a hybrid laser, the waveguide and the light-emitting regions are formed separately from different materials, e.g., the waveguide is a single-crystal silicon, and the light-emitting region includes III-V semiconductors. An amorphous group IV material, such as silicon or germanium, is advantageously used to bond the light-emitting region to the waveguide.
