摘要： A CMOS processing compatible germanium on silicon integrated waveguide photodiode. Positioning contacts in predicted low optical field regions, establishing side trenches in the silicon layer along the length of the photodiode reduces optical losses. Novel taper dimensions are selected based on the desirability of expected operational modes, reducing optical losses when light is injected from the silicon layer to the germanium layer. Reduced vertical mismatch systems have improved coupling between waveguide and photodiode. Light is coupled into and/or out of a novel silicon ring resonator and integrated waveguide photodiode system with reduced optical losses by careful design of the geometry of the optical path. An integrated waveguide photodiode with a reflector enables transmitted light to reflect back through the integrated waveguide photodiode, improving sensitivity. Careful selection of the dimensions of a novel integrated waveguide microdisk photodiode system results in reduced scattering. Improved sensitivity integrated waveguide photodiodes comprise integrated heaters.

摘要： A fiber to chip coupling connecting an optical fiber to an integrated circuit. A section of fiber is laid on top of the surface of the chip, where the end of the fiber has been cut at an angle to form an angled tip. The angled tip has a flat surface which reflects light down to a waveguide grating coupler disposed on the integrated circuit. Light is reflected off the reflective surface of the angled tip by total internal reflection. The waveguide grating coupler is designed to accept the slightly diverging light beam from the reflective surface of the angled tip of the fiber. Light can also propagate through the fiber to chip coupler in the opposite direction, up from the substrate through the waveguide grating and into an optical fiber after bouncing off the reflective surface of the angled tip.

摘要： Electronically controllable arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) with integrated phase error compensation for each individual arm of the array of waveguides. These AWGs and associated methods for static and dynamic phase compensation enable the fabrication of tunable AWGs which can track one or more drifting channels of an AWG.
