摘要: Methods of forming waveguide connectors include positioning a polymer waveguide in one or more insertion structures within an inner portion of a cap where the polymer waveguide has alignment features on a connection end face corresponding to one or more components of an assembled connector. The method can include inserting a ferrule into the inner portion of the cap such that an inner wall of the cap seals around the assembled connector to prevent contaminants from entering the inner portion and heating the polymer waveguide and the ferrule to a first temperature with the ferrule comprising alignment features and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from the polymer waveguide. The alignment features of the polymer waveguide align with the alignment features of the ferrule when the polymer waveguide and the ferrule are heated to the first temperature.

摘要: Techniques are provided for single edge coupling of chips with integrated waveguides. For example, a package structure includes a first chip with a first critical edge, and a second chip with a second critical edge. The first and second chips include integrated waveguides with end portions that terminate on the first and second critical edges. The second chip includes a signal reflection structure that is configured to reflect an optical signal propagating in one or more of the integrated waveguides of the second chip. The first and second chips are edge-coupled at the first and second critical edges such that the end portions of the integrated waveguides of the first and second chips are aligned to each other, and wherein all signal input/output between the first and second chips occurs at the single edge-coupled interface.

摘要: Waveguide connector assembly device and methods of forming waveguide connectors include a cap having an inner portion to protect a connection end face of a polymer waveguide, wherein the cap includes one or more insertion structures to position the polymer waveguide in relation to one or more components of an assembled connector, and an inner wall to seal around the assembled connector to prevent contaminants from entering the inner portion.

摘要: Approaches for silicon photonics integration are provided. A method includes: forming at least one encapsulating layer over and around a photodetector; thermally crystallizing the photodetector material after the forming the at least one encapsulating layer; and after the thermally crystallizing the photodetector material, forming a conformal sealing layer on the at least one encapsulating layer and over at least one device. The conformal sealing layer is configured to seal a crack in the at least one encapsulating layer. The photodetector and the at least one device are on a same substrate. The at least one device includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor device or a passive photonics device.

摘要: Embodiments are directed to a method of forming an optical coupler system. The method includes forming at least one waveguide over a substrate, and forming gratings in a first region over the substrate. The method further includes configuring the gratings to couple optical signals to or from the at least one waveguide, and forming a v-groove in the first region over the substrate, wherein forming the v-groove includes removing the gratings from the first region.

摘要: A clip connects two ferrules together, without a housing, to form a fiber optic connection. The clip has proximal and distal ends which define, and the clip has arms extending along the longitudinal axis to hold a cable-side ferrule in connection with fixed ferrule connected to a photonic module or die. The arms form an opening through which the cable-side ferrule is passed for connecting to the fixed ferrule. The arms have resilient bends forming a spring that can be resiliently extended along the longitudinal axis. The arms have a contact area at their ends which grasp the end of the cable-sided ferrule. The arms resiliently retract to compress the cable-sided ferrule towards the fixed ferrule with a predetermined force. The clip is positioned with respect to the circuit board using a pick and place system. The clip is not taller than either ferrule portion, enabling a limited vertical clearance.
