    摘要: An optical coupler structure may include a substrate, a waveguide section and an anchored cantilever section. The substrate may include a main body and a sub-pillar structure formed on the main body. The waveguide section may be disposed on the substrate, and may include a core waveguide of a first material surrounded by a cladding layer of a second material. The anchored cantilever section may be disposed on the sub-pillar structure on the substrate, which may be configured to support the cantilever section and separate the cantilever section from the main body of the substrate. The anchored cantilever section may include a multi-stage inverse taper core waveguide and a cladding layer, of the second material, which surrounds the multi-stage inverse taper core waveguide.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a germanium-on-silicon (Ge—Si) avalanche photodiode are provided. In one aspect, the Ge—Si avalanche photodiode utilizes a silicon buffer layer to reduce the energy of holes drifting into absorption layer where the absorption material has lower ionization threshold, thereby suppressing multiplication noise and increasing the gain-bandwidth product of the avalanche photodiode. In another aspect, the Ge—Si avalanche photodiode utilizes an edge electric field buffer layer region to reduce the electric field along the sidewall of multiplication layer, where high electric field is applied for avalanche, thereby reducing probability of sidewall breakdown and enhancing reliability of the avalanche photodiode.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line as well as a silicon-based electro-optic (E-O) modulator comprising the CPW transmission line are described. The CPW transmission line has a curved or winding shape. The silicon-based E-O modulator includes a rib optical waveguide, a beam splitter, a beam combiner, and a CPW transmission line that exhibits the winding shape. At least one of the two optical arms of the rib optical waveguide alternately and periodically extends through a first groove and a second groove of the CPW transmission line. The plurality of active sections of the rib optical waveguide are evenly distributed on both sides of the CPW transmission line to suppress undesired transmission modes. An increased length of transmission path of the rib optical waveguide is also avoided or minimized, thereby reducing the transmission speed mismatch of the E-O modulator, which is essential for achieving high-speed operation.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a monolithic electro-optical (E-O) modulator are described, which may be fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The monolithic E-O modulator includes an optical waveguide that allows an optical signal to propagate therein. The monolithic E-O modulator also includes a comb-shaped transmission line for conducting an electrical modulation signal that modulates the optical signal. The comb-shaped transmission line includes electrical conductors running in parallel with the optical waveguide. At least one of the conductors includes recesses or thin slots that form the conductor into a shape having a plurality of teeth, like a comb. The comb-shaped transmission line can be engineered to realize a close matching between a propagation velocity of the optical signal along the optical waveguide and a group velocity of the electrical modulation signal along the comb-shaped transmission line, which helps to achieve a high operating speed of the monolithic E-O modulator.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a monolithic electro-optical (E-O) modulator are described herein. The monolithic E-O modulator may include a phase shifter having a suspended structure. The suspended structure may be realized by partially or completely removing silicon material underneath the active area of the phase shifter to form a void in the bulk silicon substrate supporting the phase shifter. The suspended structure may be utilized to result in a lower radio-frequency loss and an effective group refractive index of the phase shifter that is closer to the refractive index of silicon waveguides or optical fibers, both advantageous to enhancing the performance of the E-O modulator such as a higher operating bandwidth.
