    Abstract: Waveguide combiners having a pass-through in-coupler grating are described herein. The waveguide combiners include at least one microdisplay and a stack of at least two waveguide layers. In one configuration of a waveguide combiner described herein, the green FOV and the blue FOV only propagate in a first waveguide and the red FOV only propagates in a second waveguide. In another configuration of a waveguide combiner described herein, the blue FOV, the red FOV, and the green FOV only propagate in the first waveguide, the second waveguide, and a third waveguide respectively. The waveguide combiners including the stack of waveguide layers reduces luminance non-uniformity, color non-uniformity, double-images, and other non-uniformities of the overlayed images from a first microdisplay and, in some embodiments, a second microdisplay.

    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photodetector and a CMOS device may include forming the CMOS device on a first silicon-on-insulator region, forming a silicon optical waveguide on a second silicon-on-insulator region, and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region surrounding the silicon optical waveguide such that the shallow trench isolation electrically isolating the first and second silicon-on-insulator region. Within a first region of the STI region, a first germanium material is deposited adjacent a first side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide. Within a second region of the STI region, a second germanium material is deposited adjacent a second side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide, whereby the second side wall opposes the first side wall. The first and second germanium material form an active region that evanescently receives propagating optical signals from the first and second side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide.
