    摘要: A semiconductor structure for a photonic integrated circuit, comprising a substrate, and a waveguide. The substrate comprises a planar surface. The waveguide comprises a first waveguide portion and a second waveguide portion. The first waveguide portion tapered for a first spot size conversion of light, and in contact with a first portion of the planar surface. The second waveguide portion in contact with a second portion of the planar surface next to the first portion of the planar surface. A size of the first waveguide portion in a first direction perpendicular to a light propagation direction is less than a size of the second waveguide portion in the first direction for a second spot size conversion of the light.

    摘要: A light polarisation converter for a photonic integrated circuit, comprising a first layer. The first layer comprises a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is offset from the first surface along a first axis and a second axis. The first axis is perpendicular to the first surface. The second axis is parallel to the first surface. The light polarisation converter comprises a second layer and a waveguide. The waveguide is between, and in contact with, the first layer and the second layer. The waveguide comprises a first waveguide portion in contact with the first surface, and a second waveguide portion in contact with the second surface. The second waveguide portion is offset from the first waveguide portion. The first waveguide portion has a first thickness different to a second thickness of the first waveguide portion. The first thickness and the second thickness are perpendicular the first surface.
