摘要:
EOP-based photonic devices employing coplanar electrodes and in-plane poled chromophores and methods of their manufacture. In an individual EOP-based photonic device, enhanced performance is achieved through in-plane poled chromophores having opposing polarities, enabling, for example, a push-pull optical modulator with reduced operational voltage and switching power relative to a conventional MZ modulator. For a plurality of EOP-based photonic devices, enhanced manufacturability is achieved through a sacrificial interconnect enabling concurrent in-plane poling of many EOP regions disposed on a substrate.

Embodiments of the present invention describe a waveguide-based photodetector device and its methods of fabrication. The waveguide photodetector device comprises a substrate having a cladding structure formed thereon. A waveguide element for receiving optical signals is disposed within the cladding structure. A portion of the waveguide element is encapsulated by a photodetector element that detects the optical signal received by the waveguide element and generates an electrical signal based on the optical signal. Encapsulating the waveguide element in the photodetector element improves coupling efficiency and enables a waveguide photodetector device with higher speeds and higher responsivity.
