摘要： An optical device that includes multiple optical modulators having target operating wavelengths that are distributed over a band of wavelengths and actual operating wavelengths is described. For example, the target operating wavelengths of adjacent optical modulators may be separated by a wavelength increment. Moreover, because of differences between the actual operating wavelengths and the target operating wavelengths of the optical modulators, tuning elements may be used to tune the optical modulators so that the actual operating wavelengths match corresponding carrier wavelengths in a set of optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical device may assign the optical modulators to the corresponding carrier wavelengths based at least on differences between the carrier wavelengths and the actual operating wavelengths, thereby reducing an average tuning energy associated with the tuning elements.

摘要： An optical device that includes multiple optical modulators having actual operating wavelengths at a given temperature is described. Because of differences between the actual operating wavelengths and target operating wavelengths of the optical modulators, heating elements may be used to thermally tune the optical modulators so that the actual operating wavelengths match corresponding carrier wavelengths in a set of optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical device may assign the optical modulators to the corresponding carrier wavelengths based at least on differences between the carrier wavelengths and the actual operating wavelengths, thereby reducing an average thermal tuning energy associated with the heating elements.

摘要： Embodiments of an optical device, an array of optical devices, and a technique for fabricating the optical device or the array are described. This optical device is implemented on a substrate (such as silicon), and includes a thermally tunable optical waveguide that has good thermal isolation from its surroundings. In particular, a portion of a semiconductor in the optical device, which includes the optical waveguide, is free standing above a gap between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. By reducing the thermal coupling between the optical waveguide and the external environment, the optical device can be thermally tuned with significantly less power consumption.

摘要： Embodiments of an optical device, an array of optical devices, and a technique for fabricating the optical device or the array are described. This optical device is implemented on a substrate (such as silicon), and includes a thermally tunable optical waveguide with a high thermal resistance to the surrounding external environment and a low thermal resistance to a localized heater. In particular, the thermal resistances associated with thermal dissipation paths from a heater in the optical device to an external environment via electrodes and via the substrate are increased, while the thermal resistance between the optical waveguide and the heater is decreased.

摘要： A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that includes an optical source that provides an optical signal having a wavelength is described. This optical source includes a reflecting layer, a bottom cladding layer, an active layer (such as a III-V semiconductor) having a bandgap wavelength that exceeds that of silicon, and a top cladding layer. Moreover, an optical coupler (such as a grating coupler) that couples the optical signal out of a plane of the active layer is included in a region of the active layer. In this region, the top cladding layer is absent. Furthermore, in an adjacent region, the top cladding layer includes an inverse taper so that the top cladding layer is tapered down from a width distal from the region. In conjunction with the optical coupler, the inverse taper may facilitate low-loss optical coupling of the optical signal between the PIC and another PIC.

摘要： An optical device with high thermal tuning efficiency is described. This optical device may be implemented using a tri-layer structure (silicon-on-insulator technology), including: a substrate, a buried-oxide layer and a semiconductor layer. In particular, a thermally tunable optical waveguide may be defined in the semiconductor layer. Furthermore, a portion of the substrate under the buried-oxide layer and substantially beneath a location of the thermally tunable optical waveguide is fabricated so that a portion of the buried-oxide layer is exposed. In this way, the thermal impedance between the thermally tunable optical waveguide and an external environment is increased, and power consumption associated with thermal tuning of the optical waveguide is reduced.

摘要： Embodiments of an optical device, an array of optical devices, and a technique for fabricating the optical device or the array are described. This optical device is implemented using two semiconductor layers (such as silicon), one of which includes a heater and the other includes a thermally tunable optical waveguide. Spatially separating these two functions in the optical device results in more efficient heat transfer between the heater and the optical waveguide, reduced heat transfer to the surroundings, and reduced optical losses in the optical waveguide relative to existing silicon-based optical devices.
