Abstract: Multiple methods are provided for fiber optic welding on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). An example method includes providing a PIC, forming an attachment surface on the PIC configured to receive an optical fiber. The method further includes disposing at least a portion of the optical fiber on the attachment surface. The method may then include welding the optical fiber to secure the optical fiber with respect to the attachment surface. The attachment surface may be comprised of substantially the same material as an outer portion of the optical fiber and may result in a homogenous weld securing and connecting the optical fiber to the PIC.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a tunnel junction for a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) that controls optical and current confinement within the VCSEL. The tunnel junction may define an electrical current injection area and an optical aperture for the VCSEL and may include a heavily p++ doped p-type material and a heavily n++ doped n-type material disposed on the p-type material. At least a portion of the outer edges of the n-type material are etched such that the n-type material has a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the p-type material. By removing a portion of n-type material near the outer edge of the tunnel junction, a sloped effective refractive index is formed, and an effective area of the tunnel junction is changed, which increases the overlap of the current density and the optical field of the VCSEL.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a multi-layer oxide aperture for a VCSEL. The oxide aperture may include multiple layers having different aluminum fractions that may reduce a spectral width of the VCSEL while maintaining longitudinal confinement. The oxide aperture may be formed from a mirror layer of the VCSEL proximate an active region. The mirror layer may include first epitaxial layers closest to the active region having a first aluminum fraction selected to longitudinally confine the optical field of the VCSEL. The mirror layer may include second epitaxial layers that have a second aluminum fraction low enough to prevent substantial oxidation of the second epitaxial layers. Additionally, the mirror layer may include third epitaxial layers that have a third aluminum fraction greater than the first and second aluminum fractions. The third epitaxial layers may be oxidized to form the oxide aperture.

Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and method of fabrication thereof is provided. The VCSEL includes a mesa structure disposed on a substrate. The mesa structure has a first reflector stack, a second reflector stack, and an active region disposed between the first and second reflector stacks. The active region is configured to cause the VCSEL to emit light having a characteristic wavelength of 910 nanometers. The active region includes alternating layers of quantum wells and barriers, the quantum wells having high indium content (up to 18%). The VCSEL features a first contact layer disposed at least partially on a surface of the mesa structure and configured to serve as an electrical signal layer and a second contact layer disposed at least partially about the mesa structure and configured to serve as an electrical ground.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a mode-filtered VCSEL having a multi-layer oxide aperture for high-bandwidth and side-mode suppression. The oxide aperture may include multiple layers having different aluminum fractions configured to increase an SMSR of the VCSEL while maintaining longitudinal confinement. The oxide aperture may be formed from a mirror layer of the VCSEL proximate an active region. The mirror layer may include first epitaxial layers closest to the active region having a first aluminum fraction selected to longitudinally confine the optical field of the VCSEL. The mirror layer may include second epitaxial layers having a second aluminum fraction low enough to prevent substantial oxidation of the second epitaxial layers. Additionally, the mirror layer may include third epitaxial layers having a third aluminum fraction greater than the first and second aluminum fractions. The third epitaxial layers may be oxidized to form the oxide aperture.

Abstract: Bi-directional quantum interconnects are provided that include a first communication module and a second communication module. The first communication module includes a first quantum transmitter and a first quantum receiver, and the second communication module includes a second quantum transmitter and a second quantum receiver. The example interconnect further includes a first communication medium communicably coupling the first communication module and the second communication module such that communication is provided between the first quantum transmitter and the second quantum receiver and between the second quantum transmitter and the first quantum receiver via the first communication medium. The first quantum transmitter and the second quantum transmitter generate qubits having first and second quantum characteristics, respectively, to allow for bi-directional quantum communication over a common channel.

Abstract: A tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is provided. The VCSEL includes a VCSEL emission structure, piezoelectric material, and a piezoelectric electrode. The VCSEL emission structure includes a first reflector; a second reflector; and an active cavity material structure disposed between the first and second reflectors. The active cavity material structure includes an active region. The piezoelectric material is mechanically coupled to the VCSEL emission structure such that when the piezoelectric material experiences a mechanical stress, the mechanical stress is transferred to the active cavity material structure of the VCSEL emission structure. The piezoelectric electrode is designed to cause an electric field within the piezoelectric material. The electric field causes the piezoelectric material to experience the mechanical stress, which causes the active cavity material structure to experience the mechanical stress, which causes the emission wavelength of the VCSEL to be modified from a nominal wavelength of the VCSEL.

Abstract: An electro-optical link is provided. In an example embodiment, the electro-optical link includes a number of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs); one or more drivers that operate the VCSELs such that each of the VCSELs selectively emits an optical signal; one or more multiplexers that multiplex a number of optical signals into an optical fiber, each optical signal emitted by one of the VCSELs; and one or more optical fibers. At least two optical signals are multiplexed into each optical fiber of the one or more optical fibers. In some example configurations eight or sixteen optical signals are multiplexed into one optical fiber.
