    摘要: A Mach-Zehnder interferometer useful for analog or digital optical signal manipulation. In one example, the MZI is configured as an optical device that provides a balanced output. In another example, the MZI is configured as an optical device that provides a single ended output. Each device uses a silicon split or slotted wave guide having an electro-optically active material present within the slot. The balanced output device uses two slotted wave guides in push-pull configuration.

    摘要: Methods for fabricating waveguides in conjunction with interconnect fabrication in back-ends of integrated circuits and structures thereof are disclosed. One method for forming a waveguide in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure comprises selectively etching a dielectric layer and forming of a core region of a waveguide at a back-end of an integrated circuit. The dielectric layer is material deposited during a cycle of fabrication of the back-end of the integrated circuit. The method further includes depositing a material having a dielectric constant that is suitable to be the core region of the waveguide cladded by the dielectric layer over the dielectric layer and into the etched feature for the core region of the waveguide, and planarizing a surface of the material.

    摘要: An integrated control system for a laser and Mach-Zehnder interferometer are disclosed and may include configuring a bias point for low-speed control of an optical modulator utilizing control circuitry integrated on the same CMOS die. The optical modulator may be differentially monitored. A laser source for the modulator may be controlled utilizing monitor photodiodes via optical taps on outputs of the modulator, or utilizing a monitor photodiode on one output port of the modulator, which may comprise a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. An error signal may be generated by subtracting monitor photodiode signals from optical taps on output ports of the modulator. The bias point of the modulator may be adjusted by minimizing the error signal. Calibration time of the bias point may be reduced utilizing electronic data inversion. An output of the modulator may comprise a Y-junction and a single monitor photodiode may measure both branches of the modulator.
