Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a photodetector including growing a quantity of germanium within an optical pathway of a waveguide. The detection of a current caused by an interaction between the optical signal and the germanium is used to indicate the presence of an optical signal passing through the waveguide.
Abstract:
A device that filters optical signals using a waveguide having a slotted optical pathway. The shape of the optical pathway passively restricts at least one optical signal from traveling through the waveguide. The device can also be used to reference the phase of an optical signal in an optical circuit.
Abstract:
A waveguide having a substrate, a first germanium sidewall and a second germanium sidewall. The waveguide is formed by growing the first germanium sidewall and second germanium sidewall on the substrate.
