    Abstract: A method for making an electro-optic device includes forming a first photonic device having a first material in a first photonic layer over a substrate layer. A second photonic layer with a second photonic device is formed over the first photonic layer and includes a second material different than the first material. A dielectric layer is formed over the second photonic layer. A first electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer and the second photonic layer is formed so as to couple to the first photonic device. A second electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer and coupling to the second photonic device is formed. A third electrically conductive via extending through the dielectric layer, the second photonic layer, and the first photonic layer is formed so as to couple to the substrate layer.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional photonic integrated structure includes a first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate. The first substrate incorporates a first waveguide and the second semiconductor substrate incorporates a second waveguide. An intermediate region located between the two substrates is formed by a one dielectric layer. The second substrate further includes an optical coupler configured for receiving a light signal. The first substrate and dielectric layer form a reflective element located below and opposite the grating coupler in order to reflect at least one part of the light signal.

    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit includes a first insulating region encapsulating at least one metallization level, a second insulating region at least partially encapsulating a gain medium of a laser source, and a stacked structure placed between the two insulating regions. The stacked structure includes a first polycrystalline or single-crystal silicon layer, a second polycrystalline or single-crystal silicon layer, an intermediate layer optically compatible with the wavelength of the laser source and selectively etchable relative to silicon and that separates the first layer from a first portion of the second layer, and the gain medium facing at least one portion of the first layer. The first layer, the intermediate layer, and the first portion of the second layer form an assembly containing a resonant cavity and a waveguide, which are optically coupled to the gain medium, and a second portion of the second layer containing at least one other photonic component.
