Abstract: A method includes providing a photonic wafer that includes an electrical layer and a layer disposed on a substrate. The layer includes at least one optical waveguide that is disposed between the electrical layer and the substrate. The method also includes removing a portion of the substrate underneath the at least one optical waveguide and forming an end-face coupler. A portion of the end-face coupler is within the removed portion of the substrate. The end-face coupler transmits an optical signal to, or receives an optical signal from, an external optical device.

Abstract: Embodiments include a photonic device with a compensation structure. The photonic device includes a waveguide with a refractive index which changes according to the thermo-optic effect as a temperature of the photonic device fluctuates. The compensation structure is positioned on the photonic device to counteract or otherwise alter the thermo-optic effect on the refractive index of the waveguide in order to prevent malfunctions of the photonic device.

Abstract: End-face coupling structures within an electrical backend are provided via photonic integrated circuit (PIC), comprising: a first plurality of spacer layers; a second plurality of etch-stop layers, wherein each etch-stop layer of the second plurality of etch-stop layers is located between two spacer layers of the first plurality of spacer layers; and an optical coupler comprising a plurality of waveguides arranged as a waveguide array configured to receive an optical signal in a direction of travel, wherein each waveguide of the plurality of waveguides is located at a layer interface defined between an etch-stop layer and a spacer layer. Portions of the PIC can be formed by depositing layers of spacer and etch-stop materials in which cavities are formed to define the waveguides when the waveguide material is deposited or interconnects when a metal is deposited therein.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a focal polarization displacer with a birefringent crystal disposed within the focal region of a lens. The birefringent crystal separates optical signals into at least two separate signals based on having different polarization states and an optical axis of the birefringent crystal is set so that focal points of the two separate signals are at an output surface of the polarization displacer where the two separate signals are output from the polarization displacer. This output surface can be a surface of the birefringent crystal or a surface of additional layer coupled to the crystal such as a polarization rotator or dielectric layer.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an apparatus includes a first grating and a second grating in a stack with the first grating. The first grating includes a first plurality of scatterers in a first two-dimensional (2D) arrangement. The second grating includes a second plurality of scatterers in a second 2D arrangement. The first grating and the second grating are arranged to redirect a first optical signal and a second optical signal traveling through the stack. The first optical signal enters the stack in a first direction, and the second optical signal enters the stack in a second direction different from the first direction. Each of the second plurality of scatterers is offset from a corresponding scatterer of the first plurality of scatterers in a third direction different from the first and second directions. Other embodiments include a method performed by the apparatus.
