摘要: The invention relates to devices and methods for polarization splitting, where a first optical coupler (22) having at least one input port which receives an input light beam (21), and at least two output ports at which said light beam, is split into at least a first and a second arms (24, 25) at a first end of said arms. At least one total internal reflection mirror (26) is coupled to the second arm (25) for inducing polarization-dependent phase shifts to the light beam propagating in the second arm, and a polarization-dependent phase difference between the second and the first arm. A second optical coupler (23) having input ports is coupled to the second and opposite ends of the arms. The second coupler has at least one first output port at which light is coupled from said arms, so that the polarization-dependent phase shift of the at least one total internal reflection mirror causes polarization-dependent coupling of light from said input port to said output port.

摘要: An optical assembly for realizing horizontal and vertical spot-size conversion to couple light from a thin waveguide to a thick waveguide is disclosed. The assembly comprises at least one first thin waveguide with a first section having a first optical mode field and a horizontal spot-size expansion section providing spot-size conversion for a first horizontal dimension of said first optical mode field of a light beam propagating in said first waveguide, and at least one second thick waveguide with a second section having a second optical mode field and a horizontal spot-size reduction section providing spot-size conversion for a second horizontal dimension of said second optical mode field of a light beam propagating in said second waveguide. The expanded end of said first waveguide is aligned and rotated to interface with the reduced end of said second waveguide, so that the mode fields in said first and second waveguides are rotated 90 degrees with respect to each other, whereby the spot size of a light beam so coupled between the first and second waveguides is expanded or shrunk in both transverse dimensions, depending on the direction of the light beam.

摘要: The invention relates to photonic circuits, in particular to photonic circuits where light is escalated transferred between optical waveguides which are coupled to photonic devices. A first waveguide (33a) on a silicon substrate (34) is provided having a first thickness and a first refractive index. A tapered second waveguide (32) having a second thickness less than the first thickness and a second refractive index higher than said first refractive index is deposited on the first waveguide. At least one layer of an optically active material (31) comprising a photonic device is deposited on the first waveguide adjacent to the second waveguide. The photonic device is interfaced with the wide end of the tapered second waveguide to provide an optical coupling, and the opposite narrow end of the tapered second waveguide is interfaced on top of the first waveguide to provide adiabatic light transfer between said first and second waveguides.
