    摘要: An optical component may comprise a horizontal member with two side walls and a substantially transparent end wall protruding from the horizontal member. The end wall, side walls and horizontal member may partially enclose an interior volume, and optical functionality is imparted in any suitable manner on at least a portion of the end wall. An optical assembly may comprise such an optical component mounted on a waveguide substrate along with a planar waveguide and a second waveguide, which are end-coupled by either reflection from the optical component end wall or transmission through the optical component end wall. An end portion of a planar waveguide may be received within the interior volume of the mounted component. Proper positioning of the optical component relative to the waveguides may be facilitated by alignment surfaces and/or alignment marks on the component and/or waveguide substrate.

    摘要: A grating-stabilized semiconductor laser comprises a semiconductor laser gain medium, an integrated low-index waveguide, and a waveguide grating segment providing optical feedback for laser oscillation. The laser may be adapted for multi-mode or single-mode operation. A multiple-mode laser may oscillate with reduced power and/or wavelength fluctuations associated with longitudinal mode wavelength shifts, relative to Fabry-Perot lasers lacking gratings. A single-mode laser may include a compensator, wavelength reference, and detector for generating an error signal, and a feedback mechanism for controlling the compensator for maintaining the laser wavelength locked to the reference. The laser may include means for altering, enhancing, tuning, and/or stabilizing the waveguide grating reflectivity spectral profile. The laser may be adapted for optical transverse-coupling to another waveguide.

    摘要: A method comprises: forming an optical device on a device substrate; forming a first optical waveguide on the device or device substrate; forming a second, structurally discrete optical waveguide on a structurally discrete waveguide substrate; and assembling the optical device, first waveguide, or device substrate with the second waveguide or waveguide substrate. The device and first waveguide are arranged for transferring an optical signal between the device and the first waveguide. Upon assembly the first and second waveguides are positioned between the device and waveguide substrates and are relatively positioned for transferring the optical signal therebetween via optical transverse coupling. The first or second optical waveguide is arranged for transferring the optical signal therebetween via substantially adiabatic optical transverse coupling with the first and second waveguides so positioned.
