    摘要: An optical interconnect system includes an integrated circuit, at least one optical modulator, and a slab waveguide. The optical modulator is coupled to the integrated circuit and receives an input light beam from a light source and data from a source device and generates a modulated output light beam. The slab waveguide is coupled to the optical modulator and includes at least one input waveguide microlens, a plurality of output waveguide microlenses, and at least one deflector prism. The input waveguide microlens focuses the modulated output light beam from the modulator into a collimated light beam. The deflector prism is coupled to the integrated circuit, receives the collimated light beam from the input waveguide microlens, and deflects the collimated light beam toward one of the output waveguide microlenses according to an input voltage.

The input deflector receives light beams from input channels, and deflects each light beam to an initial deflection angle. A Bragg grating deflects at least one light beam from the initial deflection angle to an increased deflection angle, where the increased deflection angle is at least closer to an output channel than the initial deflection angle.

An electro-optical component is fabricated and may include a bottom electrode, a bottom cladding layer, side cladding features, an electro-optic polymer layer, a top cladding layer, and a top electrode. After fabrication, the electro-optical component is poled to create or enhance polarization properties of the electro-optic polymer layer. The electro-optical component may be heated to at least a first threshold temperature. An electric field may then be applied to the electro-optical component. In the presence of the electric field, the electro-optical component may be cooled to at or below a second threshold temperature that is less than the first threshold temperature. Once the electro-optical component has cooled to the second threshold temperature, the electric field may be removed.

    摘要: An integrated electro-optic module may contain a continuous layer of electro-optic polymer through both a splitter portion and a modulator portion in order to facilitate high speed data transmission. The integrated electro-optic module may be fabricated by depositing a bottom cladding layer on a wafer, creating side cladding features, depositing the electro-optic polymer, and coating with a top cladding layer. The electro-optic polymer in both the splitter portion and modulator portion of the integrated electro-optic module may create inverted-ridge waveguide structures. The waveguide in the splitter portion may have a first ridge depth, and the waveguide in the modulator portion may have a second ridge depth, the first ridge depth greater than the second ridge depth.

    摘要: An optical beam splitter includes an input waveguide, two or more branching arms, two or more fan-out arms, and two or more output waveguides. The input waveguide receives an input light beam. The two or more branching arms are coupled to the input waveguide at a separation point and split the input light beam at the separation point into two or more light beams. Each fan-out arm is coupled to one of the branching arms and fans-out one of the two or more light beams to a predetermined output pitch. Each output waveguide is coupled to one of the fan-out arms and transmits one of the two or more light beams out of the optical beam splitter.
