    Abstract: An optoelectronic device, and a method of fabricating an optoelectronic device. The device comprising: a rib waveguide formed of doped silicon, said doped waveguide having a ridge portion, containing an uppermost surface and two sidewall surfaces; and a slab portion, adjacent to the two sidewall surfaces. The device further comprises: a metal contact layer, which directly abuts the uppermost surface and two sidewall surfaces, and which extends along a part of the slab portion so as to provide a Schottky barrier between the metal contact layer and the rib waveguide.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device and method of making the same. In some embodiments, the optoelectronic device includes a substrate, a Mach-Zehnder waveguide modulator, and an epitaxial crystalline cladding layer. The Mach-Zehnder waveguide modulator includes a left arm including a left SiGe optical waveguide, and a right arm including a right SiGe optical waveguide, each of the left and right optical waveguides including a junction region and a plurality of electrodes for providing a bias across the junction to enable control of the phase of light travelling through the junction regions via dispersion. The epitaxial crystalline cladding layer is on top of the substrate and beneath the junction region of the left optical waveguide and/or the junction region of the right optical waveguide, and has a refractive index which is less than a refractive index of the respective junction region(s), such that optical power is confined to the respective junction region(s).

    Abstract: A light ranging and detection system achieving reconfigurable very wide field of view, high sampling of spatial points per second with high optical power handling by using architecture to efficiently combine different wavelengths, time and frequency coding, and spatial selectivity. The transmitter is capable of generating multiple narrow beams, encoding different beams and transmitting in different spatial directions. The receiver can differentiate and extract range and reflectivity information of reflected beams. Three dimensional imaging of the environment is achieved by scanning the field of view of the transmitter. Control and signal processing electronic circuitries fabricated in a chip are packaged together with a chip containing the photonic components of the ranging system. The light ranging and detection system generates a THz beam in addition to an optical beam, and both beams combined allow reconfigurable spectroscopy.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device. The optoelectronic device operable to provide a PAM-N modulated output, the device comprising: M optical modulators, M being an integer greater than 1, the M optical modulators being arranged in a cascade, the device being configured to operate in N distinct transmittance states, as a PAM-N modulator, wherein, in each transmittance state of the N distinct transmittance states, each of the M optical modulators has applied to it a respective control voltage equal to one of: a first voltage or a second voltage. One or more of the modulators may include a substrate; a crystalline cladding layer, on top of the substrate; and an optically active region, above the crystalline cladding layer. The crystalline cladding layer may have a refractive index which is less than a refractive index of the optically active region.
