    Abstract: A technique for fabricating a hybrid optical source is described. During this fabrication technique, a III-V compound-semiconductor active gain medium is integrated with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip (or wafer) using edge coupling to form a co-planar hybrid optical source. Using a backside etch-assisted cleaving technique, and a temporary transparent substrate with alignment markers, a III-V compound-semiconductor chip with proper edge polish and coating can be integrated with a processed SOI chip (or wafer) with accurate alignment. This fabrication technique may significantly reduce the alignment complexity when fabricating the hybrid optical source, and may enable wafer-scale integration.

    Abstract: An optical device is described. This optical device includes multiple components, such as a ring resonator, an optical waveguide and a grating coupler, having a common etch depth (which is associated with a single etch step or operation during fabrication). Moreover, these components may be implemented in a semiconductor layer in a silicon-on-insulator technology. By using a common etch depth, the optical device may provide: compact active devices, multimode ultralow-loss optical waveguides, high-speed ring resonator modulators with ultralow power consumption, and compact low-loss interlayer couplers for multilayer-routed optical links. Furthermore, the single etch step may help reduce or eliminate optical transition loss, and thus may facilitate high yield and low manufacturing costs.
