    摘要: A method for manufacturing an electro-optically coupled switch in accordance with the present invention requires a sequential reconfiguration of a layer of semiconductor material. To begin, a base member is created wherein the semiconductor layer is positioned on a layer of insulator material with the insulator material positioned between the semiconductor layer and a semiconductor substrate. In sequence, with a first etch, the semiconductor layer is etched to create waveguides on opposite sides of a slot. In a second etch, the slot is deepened to expose the layer of insulator material in the slot. With a third contact pad doping process, pads can be positioned on top of the layer of insulator material for electrical contact with the respective waveguides. Metal contacts can then be placed on the contact pads, the slot can be filled with an electro-optical polymer and, if needed, the polymer can be poled.

    摘要: Embodiments of an optical device, an array of optical devices, and a technique for fabricating the optical device or the array are described. This optical device is implemented on a substrate (such as silicon), and includes a thermally tunable optical waveguide that has good thermal isolation from its surroundings. In particular, a portion of a semiconductor in the optical device, which includes the optical waveguide, is free standing above a gap between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. By reducing the thermal coupling between the optical waveguide and the external environment, the optical device can be thermally tuned with significantly less power consumption.

    摘要: A hitless tunable filter may include a ring resonator, a Mach-Zehnder coupler, and first and second phase shifters. The Mach-Zehnder coupler may include a switching arm that is coupled to the ring resonator at first and second coupling points. The first phase shifter may be used to introduce a first phase shift to light propagating through the ring resonator, while the second phase shifter may be used to introduce a second phase shift to light propagating through the Mach-Zehnder coupler. The Mach-Zehnder coupler may have a free spectral range substantially equal to a free spectral range of the ring resonator divided by a non-negative integer.
