摘要： A waveguide optical gyroscope is disclosed. The waveguide optical gyroscope includes a laser, two detectors, a set of couplers and a set of waveguides. The laser generates a light beam. A first waveguide guides the light beam to travel in a first direction, and a second waveguide guides the light beam to travel in a second direction. The first and second waveguides are coupled to several ring waveguides via the couplers. The first detector detects the arrival of the light beam traveling from the first waveguide, and the second detector detects the arrival of the light beam traveling from the second waveguide.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for optical switching and data control, without the interaction of electronic switching speeds. In one example embodiment, a common cavity optical latch is provided that that can hold an optical state for an extended period of time, and the operation of which is controlled optically. Optical phase control allows optical modal switching to be employed between two common optical cavities, using incident optical signals and the way in which the cavities manipulate the phase within them to lock in one or the other configuration, thereby forming an optical latch. The optical latch is implemented in an integrated fashion, such as in a CMOS environment.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed that facilitate fabrication of semiconductors including structures and devices of varying thickness. One embodiment provides a method for semiconductor device fabrication that includes thinning a region of a semiconductor wafer upon which the device is to be formed thereby defining a thin region and a thick region of the wafer.

Another embodiment provides a semiconductor device that includes a semiconductor wafer defining a thin region and a thick region. The device further includes one or more photonic devices and/or partially depleted electronic devices formed on the thick region, and one or more fully depleted electronic devices formed on the thin region. An isolation area can be formed between the thin region and the thick region.

摘要： A method for fabricating a thermal optical heating element capable of adjusting refractive index of an optical waveguide is disclosed. A silicon block is initially formed on a cladding layer on a silicon substrate. The silicon block is located in close proximity to an optical waveguide. A cobalt layer is deposited on the silicon block. The silicon block is then annealed to cause the cobalt layer to react with the silicon block to form a cobalt silicide layer. The silicon block is again annealed to cause the cobalt silicide layer to transform into a cobalt di-silicide layer.

摘要： An improved method for manufacturing a lateral germanium detector is disclosed. A detector window is opened through an oxide layer to expose a doped single crystalline silicon layer situated on a substrate. Next, a single crystal germanium layer is grown within the detector window, and an amorphous germanium layer is grown on the oxide layer. The amorphous germanium layer is then polished to leave only a small portion around the single crystal germanium layer. A dielectric layer is deposited on the amorphous germanium layer and the single crystal germanium layer. Using resist masks and ion implants, multiple doped regions are formed on the single crystal germanium layer. After opening several oxide windows on the dielectric layer, a refractory metal layer is deposited on the doped regions to form multiple germanide layers.
