摘要: An integrated chip including a base dielectric layer and a multi-tiered semiconductor waveguide layer over the base dielectric layer. The multi-tiered semiconductor waveguide layer has a first waveguide tier having a first width at a first height over the base dielectric layer. The multi-tiered semiconductor waveguide layer has a second waveguide tier having a second width, greater than the first width, at a second height, less than the first height, over the base dielectric layer. A cladding layer is over the multi-tiered semiconductor waveguide layer. A multi-tiered conductive heater layer is over the cladding layer. The multi-tiered conductive heater layer has a first heater tier over the first waveguide tier. The multi-tiered conductive heater layer has a pair of second heater tiers at the first height, over the second waveguide tier, and on opposite sides of the first waveguide tier.

摘要: An optical circuit of the present disclosure shares at least a part of an electrical path including phase variable means between neighboring optical interference circuits, or configures an electrical path so as to straddle neighboring optical interference circuits, thereby performing electrical or thermal feedback. The optical circuit includes a mechanism using the electrical or thermal feedback for cancelling components of thermal crosstalk from one optical interference circuit to another neighboring optical interference circuit. The optical circuit of the present disclosure has a resistor element that shares electrical paths including respective phase variable means between the neighboring optical interference circuits. The optical circuit changes the phase change amount by the phase variable means in the neighboring optical interference circuit, in such a way as to cancel the thermal crosstalk components by the resistor element.

摘要: Optical waveguides may include a substrate and a silicon based optical waveguide supported on the substrate. The silicon based optical waveguide may include a central ridge portion and a plurality of spaced apart wing portions connected through connecting portions. The number of wing portions may be greater than two. The central ridge portion may have a central ridge lateral width extent greater than a lateral width extent of at least one of the wing portions. Optical waveguides may include a substrate, a silicon based optical waveguide supported on the substrate, and a concentrator supported on the substrate and positioned within a lateral width extent of the silicon based optical waveguide and outside of a height extent of the silicon based optical waveguide. The optical waveguides may be included as part of an optical modulator.

摘要: An electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is configured to include an on-chip AC ground plane that is used to terminate the high frequency RF input signal within the chip itself. This on-chip ground termination of the modulation input signal improves the frequency response of the EAM, which is an important feature when the EAM needs to support data rates in excess of 50 Gbd. By virtue of using an on-chip ground for the very high frequency signal content, it is possible to use less expensive off-chip components to address the lower frequency range of the data signal (i.e., for frequencies less than about 1 GHz).

摘要: The present invention relates to producing an electro-optical phase shifter such that it may be integrated into a front-end of line of an electronic-photonic integrated circuit. A conducting bottom layer with a first refractive index is provided. A center layer including a ferroelectric material and with a second refractive index is provided on top of a first region of the conducting bottom layer, such that the center layer is not on top of a second region of the conducting bottom layer. A conducting top layer with a third refractive index is provided on top of the center layer. The second refractive index is lower than the first refractive index and lower than the third refractive index, such that the conducting bottom layer, the center layer, and the conducting top layer form a slot waveguide. A first electrical connector which connects the second region of the conducting bottom layer with an upper layer is provided. Additionally, a second electrical connector which connects the conducting top layer with the upper layer is provided. A first electrode and a second electrode are provided in the upper layer such that the first electrode connects to the second region of the conducting bottom layer via the first electrical connector and the second electrode connects to the conducting top layer via the second electrical connector.

摘要: An integrated circuit interposer includes a semiconductor substrate layer; a first metal contact layer including a first metal contact section that includes metal contacts arranged for electrically coupling to a first semiconductor die in a controlled collapsed chip connection, and a second metal contact section that includes metal contacts arranged for electrically coupling to a second semiconductor die in a controlled collapsed chip connection. A first patterned layer includes individually photomask patterned metal path sections. A second patterned layer includes individually photomask patterned waveguide sections, including a first waveguide that crosses at least one boundary between individually photomask patterned waveguide sections. A first modulator is coupled to the first waveguide for modulating an optical wave in the first waveguide based on an electrical signal received at a first metal contact in the first metal contact section, and a second modulator is coupled to the first waveguide for modulating the optical wave based on an electrical signal received at a second metal contact in the first metal contact section or the second metal contact section

摘要: A phase-shifter for a light-transmitting waveguide is segmented into multiple segments that can be calibrated to the overall length of a conventional single phase-shifter. Each segment receives a control signal, which can be a single bit signal, with the phase-shift capability of the segmented phase-shifter controlled by which segment(s) receive(s) a control signal. In one implementation, a binary weighting is applied to determine segment lengths. Smaller segments can be increased in length to achieve a 2π offset of the phase shift produced by the segment while maintaining the same binary relationship among segments. In another embodiment, multiple segments of uniform lengths can be used for a single phase-shifter with each segment controlled by an n-bit signal.
