    Abstract: A coplanar waveguide includes a substrate, a signal line formed on the substrate, a pair of ground conductors formed on the substrate on mutually opposite sides of the signal line, a signal line insulating film disposed between the signal line and the substrate, and a ground conductor insulating film disposed between the pair of ground conductors and the substrate. No corresponding insulating film is present on the substrate between the signal line and the ground conductors. Even if a silicon substrate is used, the attenuation characteristics of the coplanar waveguide are comparable to the attenuation characteristics of coplanar waveguides formed on compound semiconductor substrates.

    Abstract: Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core, a cladding, an electrooptic polymer, and a set of control electrodes. The core, the cladding, and the electrooptic polymer are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core to couple into a relatively high index region of the electrooptic polymer above the waveguide core, so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Generally, an embodiment of the present invention provides an optical input/output (I/O) chip that is fabricated separately and distinctly from an electrical integrated circuit chip having core circuitry thereon. The electronic and optical I/O chips are later electrically connected (e.g., using packing technology) to form a hybrid optical-electronic chip system that utilizes optical I/O components on the optical I/O chip to communicate at least some of the I/O signals into and out of the electrical integrated circuit on the distinct electronic chip.

    Abstract: A programmable two-dimensional simultaneous multi-beam optically operated phased array receiver chip is manufactured based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and indium phosphide (InP) semiconductor manufacturing processes, including the SiN process. The InP-based semiconductor is used for preparing a laser array chip and a semiconductor optical amplifier array chip, the SiN is used for preparing an optical power divider, and the SOI semiconductor is used for preparing a silicon optical modulator, a germanium-silicon detector, an optical wavelength multiplexer, a true delay line, and other passive optical devices. The whole integration of the receiver chip is realized through heterogeneous integration of the InP-based chip and the SOI-based chip. Simultaneous multi-beam scanning can be realized through peripheral circuit programming control. The chip not only can realize two-dimensional multi-beam scanning, but also has strong expansibility, such that the chip can be used for ultra-wideband high-capacity wireless communication and simultaneous multi-target radar recognition systems.
