Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method including arranging a laser die on a substrate. The laser die has multiple channels that are arranged with a first planar arrangement proximate to a facet of the laser die. The substrate is arranged on a housing component. The method further includes aligning a single lens to the facet, and aligning a multicore optical fiber to the laser die through the single lens. The multicore optical fiber has a plurality of optical cores that are arranged with a second planar arrangement. Aligning the multicore optical fiber to the laser die includes attaching the multicore optical fiber to the housing component and rotationally aligning the multicore optical fiber to align the second planar arrangement with the first planar arrangement.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method of fabricating an optical component. The method comprises electrically coupling different laser channels of a laser die to different electrical leads, testing a respective optical coupling of each of the different laser channels, optically aligning an optical fiber with a first laser channel of the different laser channels having the greatest optical coupling, and designating a second laser channel of the different laser channels as a heater element for the first laser channel.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include a method comprising forming an insulator layer above a silicon layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A first optical device is formed partly in the silicon layer and partly in the insulator layer. A first optical waveguide is formed in the insulator layer and optically coupled with the first optical device. The method further comprises forming conductive contacts extending partly through the insulator layer to the first optical device, bonding a first surface of an interposer with a top surface of the insulator layer, and forming, from a second surface of the interposer opposite the first surface, a plurality of first conductive vias extending at least partly through the interposer. The plurality of first conductive vias are coupled with the conductive contacts.

Abstract: The embodiments herein describe an optical transmitter that integrates a SCOWA into a photonic chip that includes a modulator. The embodiments herein place the SCOWA between the laser and the modulator. To accommodate the large mode size of the waveguide in the SCOWA, the photonic chip includes a pair of spot size converters coupled to the input and output of the SCOWA. Rather than amplifying a modulated signal as is typical with an inline amplifier, the SCOWA amplifies a continuous wave (CW) optical signal generated by the laser which introduces less noise and improves the OSNR of the transmitter.

Abstract: A system includes a first device and a second device. The first device generates a source optical signal using a first optical signal and a polarization splitter-rotator. The second device modulates the source optical signal from the first device using a first data signal to produce a first modulated optical signal. The first modulated optical signal has a polarization that is orthogonal to a polarization of the source optical signal. The first device recovers the first data signal from the first modulated optical signal using at least the polarization splitter-rotator.

Abstract: By determining an alignment point for a photonic element in a substrate of a given material; applying, via a laser aligned with the photonic element according to the alignment point, an etching pattern to the photonic element to produce a patterned region and an un-patterned region in the photonic element, wherein applying the etching pattern alters a chemical bond in the given material for the patterned region of the photonic element that increases a reactivity of the given material to an etchant relative to a reactivity of the un-patterned region, and wherein the patterned region defines an engagement feature in the un-patterned region that is configured to engage with a mating feature on a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC); and removing the patterned region from the photonic element via the etchant, various systems and methods may make use of laser patterning in optical components to enable alignment of optics to chips.
