    摘要: A method includes providing a sacrificial wafer, contacting the sacrificial wafer to a photonic device wafer, and bonding the sacrificial wafer to the photonic device wafer. The sacrificial wafer includes a substrate and an electro-optical material strip disposed within a dielectric matrix. The photonic device wafer includes a photonic device die, and the electro-optical material strip is disposed proximate to the photonic device die. A photonic device structure includes a photonic device wafer and a sacrificial wafer. The photonic device structure includes a device wafer substrate and a photonic device die fabricated in a device wafer dielectric layer. The sacrificial wafer includes a sacrificial wafer substrate and an electro-optical material strip embedded in a sacrificial wafer dielectric matrix. The sacrificial wafer dielectric matrix is bonded to the device wafer dielectric layer, and the electro-optical material strip is disposed proximate to the photonic device die.

    摘要: A system, method, and photonic chip for an optical circulator are described. The system includes a first polarization splitter, a first optical circuit, and a first controller. The first polarization splitter receives, at a first port of the first polarization splitter, a first optical signal. The first optical circuit is optically coupled to the first polarization splitter. The first optical circuit includes a first plurality of phase shifters. The first optical circuit receives, at a first port of the first optical circuit, a second optical signal. The first controller adjusts the first plurality of phase shifters such that the first optical circuit outputs the first optical signal at a second port of the first optical circuit and such that the first polarization splitter outputs the second optical signal at the first port of the first polarization splitter.
