摘要: Disclosed herein is a stress optical modulator. The modulator include a circular piezo-electric actuator; and a ring waveguide separated from the circular piezo-electric actuator by a top cladding layer. The circular piezo-electric actuator may be offset from the ring waveguide such that a first circular portion of the circular piezo-electric actuator is located on the outside of the ring waveguide and a second circular portion of the circular piezo-electric actuator is located on the inside of the ring waveguide. The circular piezo-electric actuator may be configured to change the guiding properties of the ring waveguide based on the voltage applied to the circular piezo-electric actuator by inducing strain through the top cladding layer to change the optical properties of the ring waveguide.

摘要: Systems and methods for hybrid integration of ultra-low loss waveguide photonic circuits with various efficient on-chip elements are described. The photonic circuits can integrate various elements including (but not limited to): gain, modulation, detection, and nonlinear optical elements. The integrated photonic chips can be manufactured in a flexible, reconfigurable, 3D heterogeneous platform. The integrated photonic chips can cover wavelength ranges from the visible wavelength to infrared wavelength.

摘要: Disclosed herein is methods for fabricating ultra-low loss waveguides. One particular method may include: preparing a substrate including a lower cladding layer in a deposition chamber; flowing precursors including deuterated silane and nitrogen onto the lower cladding layer in the deposition chamber; subjecting the precursors to an inductively coupled plasma-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ICP-PECVD) process which disassociates the deuterated silane and nitrogen and deposits waveguide material of silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride onto the lower cladding layer; patterning the waveguide material into a patterned waveguide material; and depositing a top cladding layer on the patterned waveguide material, wherein the ICP-PECVD process occurs at a temperature less than or equal to 250° C. Advantageously, the ICP-PECVD process allows for deposition of low hydrogenated deposition of material layers which may allow for low temperature fabrication of ultra-low loss waveguides.

摘要: A device may include an atomic cell with a first wall. A device may include a photonic integrated circuit positioned parallel to the atomic cell first wall, the photonic integrated circuit comprising: a set of three grating emitters mounted on the photonic integrated circuit around a circumference with a spacing of around 120 degrees, wherein each grating emitter is etched to emit free-space beams on to the first wall of the atomic cell at a selected angle, wherein the selected angle in combination with the circumference results in the set of free-space beams intersecting at a location inside the atomic cell.
