Abstract: The embodiments herein describe a single-frequency laser source (e.g., a distributed feedback (DFB) laser or distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser) that includes a feedback grating or mirror that extends along a waveguide. The grating may be disposed over a portion of the waveguide in an optical gain region in the laser source. Instead of the waveguide or cavity being linear, the laser includes a U-turn region so that two ends of the waveguide terminate at the same facet. That facet is coated with an anti-reflective (AR) coating.

Abstract: A laser integrated photonic platform to allow for independent fabrication and development of laser systems in silicon photonics. The photonic platform includes a silicon substrate with an upper surface, one or more through silicon vias (TSVs) defined through the silicon substrate, and passive alignment features in the substrate. The photonic platform includes a silicon substrate wafer with through silicon vias (TSVs) defined through the silicon substrate, and passive alignment features in the substrate for mating the photonic platform to a photonics integrated circuit. The photonic platform also includes a III-V semiconductor material structure wafer, where the III-V wafer is bonded to the upper surface of the silicon substrate and includes at least one active layer forming a light source for the photonic platform.

Abstract: An optical apparatus comprises a semiconductor substrate, and a supermode filtering waveguide (SFW) emitter disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The SFW emitter comprises a first optical waveguide, a spacer layer, and a second optical waveguide spaced apart from the first optical waveguide by the spacer layer. The second optical waveguide is evanescently coupled with the first optical waveguide and is configured, in conjunction with the first waveguide, to selectively propagate only a first mode of a plurality of optical modes. The SFW emitter further comprises an optically active region disposed in one of the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide.

Abstract: Described herein is a two chip photonic device (e.g., a hybrid master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA)) where a gain region and optical amplifier region are formed on a III-V chip and a variable reflector (which in combination with the gain region forms a laser cavity) is formed on a different semiconductor chip that includes silicon, silicon nitride, lithium niobate, or the like. Sides of the two chips are disposed in a facing relationship so that optical signals can transfer between the gain region, the variable reflector, and the optical amplifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for laser integration into photonic platforms in which a first wafer, including a first substrate and a first insulator that includes a first plurality of dies that each include a first set of optical waveguides, is bonded to a second wafer, including a second substrate and a second insulator that includes a second plurality of dies that each include a second set of optical waveguides. The bond between the two wafers defines a wafer bond interface joining the first insulator with the second insulator and vertically aligning the first plurality of dies with the second plurality of dies such that respective first sets of optical waveguides are optically coupled with respective second sets of optical waveguides.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for selective-area growth of III-V materials for integration with silicon photonics. The resulting platform includes a substrate; an insulator, extending a first distance from the substrate, including a passive optical component at a second distance from the substrate less than the first distance, and defining a pit extending to the substrate; and a III-V component, extending from the substrate within in the pit defined in the insulator, the III-V component including a gain medium included at the second distance from the substrate and optically coupled with the passive optical component. The pit may define an Optical Coupling Interface between the III-V component and the passive optical component, or a slit defined between the III-V component and the passive optical component may define the Optical Coupling Interface.
