摘要: A biochip device includes a waveguide, chromophore elements, a diffusing structure, and a sloping surface. The chromophore elements are disposed on a portion of the waveguide and are configured to emit fluorescence in response to excitation by guided light waves transmitted by the waveguide. The diffusing structure is configured to generate guided light waves in the waveguide when illuminated. The sloping surface is sloped relative to a plane of the waveguide and is configured to direct excitation light into the waveguide, and the sloping surface and the waveguide are configured to deflect the excitation light to the diffusing structure to generate guided light waves within the waveguide. The sloping surface may be a face of a prism attached to or integrated with the waveguide, or the sloping surface may be a bevel formed at an edge of the waveguide.

摘要: A polarization rotator structure includes: a first core structure formed at a first layer, extending from the first end to a second end, and a second core structure formed at a second layer that is at a different depth than the first layer and formed in proximity to the first core structure. The first core structure and the second core structure provide mode hybridization between at least two orthogonally polarized waveguide modes of the PRS. An optical splitter structure is optically coupled at a first end to the second end of the PRS, and optically coupled at a second end to at least two optical waveguides, and includes: a first core structure that is contiguous with at least one of the first or second core structures of the PRS, and a second core structure that is separate from both of the first and second core structures of the PRS.

摘要: An optical mode-size converter is presented, which includes a guiding portion, a first strip with a first refractive index, and a second strip with a second refractive index. The first refractive index and the second refractive index are higher than a refractive index of the guiding portion, and a section of the first strip and a section of the second strip overlap to form an evanescent coupling region. The optical mode-size converter further comprises a coupling layer disposed between the first strip and the second strip within the evanescent coupling region, wherein the refractive index of the coupling layer is larger than the refractive index of the guiding portion and smaller than the first refractive index and the second refractive index.

摘要: One embodiment provides an optical spectrometer. The optical spectrometer can include a lens-and-filter system configured to collect light scattered from a sample, a spot converter configured to convert a substantially circular beam outputted from the lens-and-filter system into a substantially rectangular beam, and a slit comprising a rectangular aperture to allow a predetermined portion of the substantially rectangular beam to enter the rectangular aperture while blocking noise. The slit can further include at least one microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based movable structure configured to adjust a width of the rectangular aperture.

摘要: Techniques relating to an improved optical waveguide are described. The optical waveguide includes an upper and lower waveguide that each comprise a first and second layer, in which photons are transferred from the lower waveguide to the upper waveguide. A structured subwavelength coupling region is included, for example, in the first upper waveguide layer. The fill factor of the subwavelength grating coupling region is increased in the direction of light propagation to increase the index of refraction of the structured subwavelength coupling region and therefore improve photon transfer from the lower waveguide. Additionally, the width of the optical waveguide (at least along the structured subwavelength coupling region) remains constant as the fill factor increases.

摘要: A device has a plurality of waveguide structures including two active (one of which comprises two sub-layers), two passive, and three intermediate waveguide structures on a common substrate. At least partial butt coupling between active and intermediate waveguide structures, and tapering in the intermediate and/or passive waveguide structures at each junction therebetween facilitates efficient optical mode transformations as optical signals travel through the device, either from a first sub-layer of the first active waveguide structure through the other sub-layer, then sequentially though a first intermediate waveguide structure, a passive waveguide structure, a second intermediate waveguide structure, a second active waveguide structure, a third intermediate structure, and a second passive waveguide structure; or in reverse from the second passive waveguide structure back through to the first sub-layer of the first active waveguide structure. Lithographic alignment marks facilitate precise mutual alignments between layers defining each of the waveguide structures.

摘要: An optical mode converter includes a silicon substrate and a silicon dioxide film deposited on a top surface of the silicon substrate. A lithium niobate waveguide positioned on the silicon dioxide film having a slab and a rib that both taper in a direction of beam propagation through the optical mode converter. A doped silicon dioxide waveguide is positioned on top of the lithium niobate waveguide and has a slab that tapers in the direction of the optical beam propagation through the optical mode converter. The optical mode converter expands an optical mode of the optical beam propagating through the optical mode converter from a first optical mode size to a second optical mode size.
