    摘要: A method of fabricating a composite integrated optical device includes providing a substrate comprising a silicon layer, forming a waveguide in the silicon layer, and forming a layer comprising a metal material coupled to the silicon layer. The method also includes providing an optical detector, forming a metal-assisted bond between the metal material and a first portion of the optical detector, forming a direct semiconductor-semiconductor bond between the waveguide, and a second portion of the optical detector.

    摘要: A device is provided for optical mode spot size conversion to optically couple a semiconductor waveguide with an optical fiber. The device includes a waveguide comprising a waveguide taper region, which comprises a shoulder portion and a ridge portion above the shoulder portion. The ridge portion has a width that tapers to meet a width of the shoulder portion. The waveguide taper region comprises a first material. The device also has a mode converter coupled to the waveguide. The mode converter includes a plurality of stages, and each of the plurality of stages tapers in a direction similar to a direction of taper of the waveguide taper region. The mode converter is made of a second material different from the first material.

    摘要: A widely tunable laser system includes a substrate, first and second lasers, an output and at least one optical combining device. The first laser is integrated with the substrate, includes a gain medium that includes a first material, and emits light at a wavelength that is tunable within a first wavelength range that is determined at least in part by the first material. The second laser is integrated with the substrate, includes a gain medium that includes a second material, and emits light at a wavelength that is tunable within a second wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range that is determined at least in part by the second material. The at least one optical combining device is configured to direct light from one or both of the first laser and the second laser to the output.
