    Abstract: An optical device that includes means for thermal stabilization and control is described. The optical device can be a ring resonator, or another device that requires accurate control of the phase of the optical signal. In an example involving an optical resonator, a thermal stabilization system includes a temperature sensor, a control circuit, and a heater local to the resonator. The temperature sensor can be a bandgap temperature sensor formed of a pair of matched p/n junctions biased in operation at different junction currents.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a waveguide (40) including a semiconducting junction (23). The method comprises the following steps: providing a support (10) comprising a semiconducting layer (20) having a first part (21) of a first conductivity type ; protecting the first part ; selectively implanting a second conductivity-type dopants in a second part (22) of the semiconducting layer (20) adjacent to the first part (21, 221). The concentration of second conductivity-type dopants in the second part (22, 222) is greater than the one of first conductivity-type dopants in the first part (21, 221). The method further comprises the steps of: diffusing second conductivity-type dopants in the first part (21, 221) to form a semiconducting junction (23, 223) in the first part (21, 221), and partially etching the semiconducting layer (20, 200) to form the waveguide (40, 240) in the first part (21, 221), the protection of the first part (21, 221) being used so that the semiconducting junction (23, 223) is included in the waveguide (40, 240).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to various methods of fabricating Planar Bragg Gratings (PBG) in a doped waveguide in a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) device, suppressing unwanted parasitic grating effects during fabrication of the device. One approach to reduce parasitic gratings is to use a hard mask before the waveguide photolithography and etch, that results in a steeper sidewall angle that reduces or eliminates the parasitic grating effect. Another method of reducing parasitic grating effect is to deposit a layer of developable Bottom Anti Reflective Coating (BARC) prior to depositing the photo resist for waveguide etch. A third method of resisting parasitic gratings comprises using a planarizing undoped silica layer as a barrier layer on top of the core. During subsequent high temperature annealing germanium outdiffuses laterally into the cladding. The net effect is an optical waveguide with improved lateral uniformity because germanium diffusion smoothes out the sidewall roughness created during the waveguide reactive ion etch process. The undoped silica (SiO2) layer on top of the grating also serves the purpose of significantly reducing germanium outdiffusion from the core in the upward direction.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide device (10) comprises a planar substrate with a lower cladding layer (14), a core layer (16) and an upper cladding layer (18), a groove (20) in the substrate that extends at least into the core layer (16), and a waveguiding channel (22) in the core layer (16), wherein at least a part of the waveguiding channel (22), which may contain a Bragg grating, is sufficiently proximate to the groove (20) in the plane of the substrate for an evanescent field of light propagating in the waveguiding channel (22) to extend laterally into the groove (20). Material contained in the groove modifies the properties of the waveguiding channel, so that a sample of material can be analysed or an active material can be used to modulate the propagating light. The groove (20) can be made before the waveguide (22). The groove (20) can be made by cutting into the substrate with a saw and the waveguide (22) can be made by direct writing in the core layer (16) with an ultraviolet beam.
