Abstract: A photonic coupler includes an input coupling section, an output coupling section, and a multimode interference (MMI) waveguide section. The input coupling section is adapted to receive an input optical signal along an input waveguide channel. The output coupling section is adapted to output a pair of output optical signals along output waveguide channels. The output optical signals having output optical powers split from the input optical signal. The MMI waveguide section is optically coupled between the input and output coupling sections. Notched waveguide sections may each be disposed between the MMI waveguide section and a corresponding one of the input or output coupling sections and/or the MMI waveguide section may include curvilinear sidewalls.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of creating a design for an optoelectronic detector device is provided. A computing system determines an initial design that includes circuit parameters for at least one photodetector region and for conductors that couple the photodetector region to circuitry. The computing system simulates performance of an optically active region to generate a plurality of field values, and simulates performance of the at least one photodetector region based on the plurality of field values to generate charge values. The computing system simulates performance of at least the conductors based on the charge values to generate a performance loss value, and determines a loss metric based on the performance loss value. The computing system backpropagates the loss metric to determine a circuit parameter gradient, and revises the circuit parameters based at least in part on the circuit parameter gradient to create an updated initial design.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of creating a design for an optoelectronic device is provided. A computing system determines an initial heater design that includes one or more heater parameters. The computing system determines a temperature gradation by simulating performance of the initial heater design in adjusting an environmental temperature to a nominal temperature. The computing system simulates performance of a nominal optimized design of a dispersive region of the optoelectronic device, given the temperature gradation, to determine a temperature-influenced performance loss value. The computing system determines a heater parameter gradient based on the temperature-influenced performance loss value, and revises the heater parameters based at least in part on the heater parameter gradient to create a revised heater design.

Abstract: A polarization beam splitter includes an input port, first and second output ports, and a polarization splitting region coupled between the input port and the first and second output ports. The input port is adapted to receive guided optical signals that are polarization multiplexed, including a transverse electric (TE) optical signal and a transverse magnetic (TM) optical signal. The polarization splitting region includes a pattern of at least two materials having different refractive indexes. The pattern is shaped to demultiplex the TE and TM optical signals by directing a first power majority of the TE optical signal received at the input port to the second output port via asymmetrical power splitting while directing a second power majority of the TM optical signal received at the input port to the first output port via multipath interferometry.
