Abstract: A first reflecting region is positioned at an end of an optical fiber and includes a polarization-sensitive reflector configured to selectively reflect a first polarization of light emanating from the optical fiber into a first reflected beam and transmit light that is not of the first polarization. The first reflected beam is directed toward a first optical grating coupler on a chip. A spacer layer is disposed on the first reflecting region such that light transmitted from the first reflecting region enters and passes through the spacer layer. A second reflecting region is disposed on the spacer layer and is configured to reflect light that is incident upon the second reflecting region into a second reflected beam directed toward a second optical grating coupler on the chip. A thickness of the spacer layer is set to control a separation distance between the first reflected beam and the second reflected beam.

Abstract: A lens assembly for an optical fiber includes an optical gap structure and a multi-mode optical fiber. The optical gap structure has first and second ends and a length measured therebetween. The first end of the optical gap structure is configured to attach to an end of a single-mode optical fiber. The multi-mode optical fiber has first and second ends and a length measured therebetween. The first end of the multi-mode optical fiber is attached to the second end of the optical gap structure. The length of the optical gap structure and the length of the multi-mode optical fiber are set to provide a prescribed working distance and a prescribed light beam waist diameter. The prescribed working distance is a distance measured from the second end of the multi-mode optical fiber to a location of the prescribed light beam waist diameter.

Abstract: A semiconductor wafer includes a semiconductor chip that includes a photonic device. The semiconductor chip includes an optical fiber attachment region in which an optical fiber alignment structure is to be fabricated. The optical fiber alignment structure is not yet fabricated in the optical fiber attachment region. The semiconductor chip includes an in-plane fiber-to-chip optical coupler positioned at an edge of the optical fiber attachment region. The in-plane fiber-to-chip optical coupler is optically connected to the photonic device. A sacrificial optical structure is optically coupled to the in-plane fiber-to-chip optical coupler. The sacrificial optical structure includes an out-of-plane optical coupler configured to receive input light from a light source external to the semiconductor chip. At least a portion of the sacrificial optical structure extends through the optical fiber attachment region.

Abstract: A beam steering structure includes an alignment structure shaped to receive and align an optical fiber such that an axis of a core of the optical fiber is oriented in a first direction. The beam steering structure includes an end portion having an angled optical surface oriented at a non-zero angle relative to the first direction. The end portion is shaped and positioned so that light propagating along the first direction from the optical fiber passes through the end portion to reach the angled optical surface. A reflecting system is positioned on the angled optical surface across the first direction. The reflecting system is configured to reflect incident light propagating along the first direction into a first reflected beam of a first polarization and a second reflected beam of a second polarization. The first and second reflected beams are directed into first and second optical communication channels, respectively.
