    摘要: Various embodiments of a monolithic transceiver are described, which may be fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. The monolithic transceiver includes a coherent receiver module (CRM), a coherent transmitter module (CTM), and a local oscillation splitter to feed a local oscillation to the CRM and the CTM with a tunable power ratio. The monolithic transceiver provides tunable responsivity by employing photodiodes for opto-electrical conversion. The monolithic transceiver also employs a polarization beam rotator-splitter (PBRS) and a polarization beam rotator-combiner (PBRC) for supporting modulation schemes including polarization multiplexed quadrature amplitude modulation (PM-QAM) and polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PM-QPSK).

    摘要: Various embodiments of a monolithic transceiver are described, which may be fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. The monolithic transceiver includes a coherent receiver module (CRM), a coherent transmitter module (CTM), and a local oscillation splitter to feed a local oscillation to the CRM and the CTM with a tunable power ratio. The monolithic transceiver provides tunable responsivity by employing avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for opto-electrical conversion. The monolithic transceiver also employs a polarization beam rotator-splitter (PBRS) and a polarization beam rotator-combiner (PBRC) for supporting modulation schemes including polarization multiplexed quadrature amplitude modulation (PM-QAM) and polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PM-QPSK).

    摘要: Various embodiments of a germanium-on-silicon (Ge—Si) photodiode are provided along with the fabrication method thereof. In one aspect, a Ge—Si photodiode includes a doped bottom region at the bottom of a germanium layer, formed by thermal diffusion of donors implanted into a silicon layer. The Ge—Si photodiode further includes a doped sidewall region of Ge mesa formed by ion implantation. Thus, the electric field is distributed in the intrinsic region of the Ge—Si photodiode where there is low dislocation density. The doped bottom region and sidewall region of the Ge layer prevent electric field from penetrating into the Ge—Si interface and Ge mesa sidewall region, where a large amount of dislocations are distributed. This design significantly suppresses dark current.

    摘要: A device, such as a silicon modulator, in accordance with the present disclosure employs PN diodes without sacrificing the modulation depth, while achieving lower loss and better impedance matching to 50-Ohm drivers. In one embodiment, the device includes an input waveguide, an input optical splitter coupled to the input waveguide, first and second optical phase shifters coupled to the input optical splitter, an output optical splitter coupled to the first and second phase shifters, and an output waveguide coupled to the output optical splitter. The phase shifters are designed with variant capacitance per unit length.
