    Abstract: An exemplary multi quantum well structure may include a silicon platform having a pit formed in the silicon platform, a chip positioned inside the pit, a first waveguide formed in the chip, and a second waveguide formed in the silicon platform. The pit may be defined at least in part by a sidewall and a base. The chip may include a first side and a first recess in the first side. The first side may be defined in part by a first cleaved or diced facet. The first recess may be defined in part by a first etched facet. The first waveguide may be configured to guide an optical beam to pass through the first etched facet. The second waveguide may be configured to guide the optical beam to pass through the sidewall. The second waveguide may be optically aligned with the first waveguide.

    Abstract: A device for a gain medium for a semiconductor laser has an active region, a buffer layer, a substrate, and an etch stop between the buffer layer and the substrate. The device is bonded to a silicon platform having silicon devices, such as a waveguide and mirror. The substrate is removed, after bonding the device to the platform. The buffer layer is made of different material than the substrate to reduce undercut of the buffer layer during substrate removal compared to a buffer layer made of the same material as the substrate.

    Abstract: A method forms a vertical output coupler for a waveguide that propagates light along a horizontal propagation direction, through a waveguide material that overlies a buried oxide layer. The method includes etching the waveguide to remove a portion of the waveguide. The etching forms at least a first plane that is at an edge of the waveguide, is adjacent to the removed portion of the waveguide, and is tilted at a vertical angle between 20 degrees and 70 degrees with respect to the propagation direction. The method further includes coating the first tilted plane with a reflective metal to form a mirror, such that the mirror reflects the light into a direction having a vertical component.

    Abstract: An optical, directional coupler has a first input, a second input, a first output, and a second output. The coupler is made with a shoulder disposed on a substrate and a first ridge and a second ridge disposed on the shoulder. The first ridge extends from the first input to the first output. The second ridge extends from the second input to the second output. The shoulder, the first ridge, and the second ridge taper to provide coupling and are modified to select a coupling ratio. Further, a tunable laser has a first mirror, a second mirror, a gain medium, and a directional coupler. The first mirror and the second mirror form an optical resonator. The gain medium and the directional coupler are, at least partially, in an optical path of the optical resonator. The directional coupler provides an output coupler for the tunable laser.

    Abstract: A waveguide coupler has a compression region and an expansion region for coupling light between a silicon waveguide and an optical fiber. The compression region receives light from the silicon waveguide and compresses an optical mode of the light. Light is transmitted from the compression region to an expansion region. The expansion region expands the light to have a larger cross section. Light is then transmitted to the optical fiber.

    Abstract: A method of operating a BPSK modulator includes receiving an RF signal at the BPSK modulator and splitting the RF signal into a first portion and a second portion that is inverted with respect to the first portion. The method also includes receiving the first portion at a first arm of the BPSK modulator, receiving the second portion at a second arm of the BPSK modulator, applying a first tone to the first arm of the BPSK modulator, and applying a second tone to the second arm of the BPSK modulator. The method further includes measuring a power associated with an output of the BPSK modulator and adjusting a phase applied to at least one of the first arm of the BPSK modulator or the second arm of the BPSK modulator in response to the measured power.
