    摘要： A tunable optical coupling arrangement for use with a relatively thin (generally sub-micron thickness) silicon waveguiding layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The arrangement comprises a multi-layer structure including a substrate for supporting one or more diffractive optical elements and a layer of tunable liquid crystal material. The multi-layer structure is disposed over a conventional SOI substrate including the thin silicon waveguiding layer, where the refractive index of the liquid crystal material can be modified to adjust the deflection of an input optical beam through the various diffractive optical elements and present an optimized launch angle into the silicon waveguiding layer, thus reducing insertion loss at the waveguiding layer.

    摘要： A vertical stack of integrated circuits includes at least one CMOS electronic integrated circuit (IC), an SOI-based opto-electronic integrated circuit structure, and an optical input/output coupling element. A plurality of metalized vias may be formed through the thickness of the stack so that electrical connections can be made between each integrated circuit. Various types of optical input/output coupling can be used, such as prism coupling, gratings, inverse tapers, and the like. By separating the optical and electrical functions onto separate ICs, the functionalities of each may be modified without requiring a re-design of the remaining system. By virtue of using SOI-based opto-electronics with the CMOS electronic ICs, a portion of the SOI structure may be exposed to provide access to the waveguiding SOI layer for optical coupling purposes.

    摘要： An ECL laser structure utilizes an SOI-based grating structure coupled to the external gain medium to provide lasing activity. In contrast to conventional Bragg grating structures, the grating utilized in the ECL of the present invention is laterally displaced (i.e., offset) from the waveguide (in most cases, a rib or strip waveguide) comprising the laser cavity. The grating is formed in an area with higher contrast ratio between materials (silicon and oxide) and thus requires a lesser amount of optical energy to reflect the selected wavelength, and can easily be formed using well-known CMOS fabrication processes. The pitch of the grating (i.e., the spacing between adjacent grating elements) and the refractive index values of the grating materials determine the reflected wavelength (also referred to as the “center wavelength”). A thermally conductive strip is disposed alongside the grating to adjust/tune the center wavelength of the grating, where the application of an electric current to the thermally conductive strip will heat the strip and transfer this heat to the grating. The change of temperature of the grating will modify the refractive indexes of the grating materials and as a result change its center wavelength.

    摘要： A unitary optical receiver assembly is formed to include a V-groove passively aligned with a first aspheric lens (the lens formed along a surface perpendicular to the V-groove). An optical fiber is disposed along the V-groove and is used to bring the received optical signal into the unitary assembly. Upon passing through the first aspheric lens, the received optical signal will intercept a 45° turning mirror wall that directs the signal downward, through a second aspheric lens (also molded in the unitary assembly), and then into a photosensitive device. Advantageously, the photosensitive device is disposed in passive alignment with the second aspheric lens, allowing for a received signal to be coupled from an incoming optical fiber to a photosensitive device without needing any type of active alignment therebetween.

    摘要： An arrangement for removing unwanted amplitude modulation from the output of an electro-optic phase modulator (formed within a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) system) includes resonant filters that are biased on the positive and negative slopes of the response signal. Therefore, as the amplitude response of one filter decreases, the amplitude response of the other filter increases, resulting in balancing the output and essentially eliminating amplitude modulation from the phase-modulated output signal. In one embodiment, ring resonators (formed in the SOI layer) are used to provide the filtering, where as the number of resonators is increased, the performance of the filtering arrangement is improved accordingly.
