    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: A method of fabricating a waveguide mode expander includes providing a substrate including a waveguide, bonding a chiplet including multiple optical material layers in a mounting region adjacent an output end of the waveguide, and selectively removing portions of the chiplet to form tapered stages that successively increase in number and lateral size from a proximal end to a distal end of the chiplet. The first optical material layer supports an input mode substantially the same size as a mode exiting the waveguide. One or more of the overlying layers, when combined with the first layer, support a larger, output optical mode size. Each tapered stage of the mode expander is formed of a portion of a respective layer of the chiplet. The first layer and the tapered stages form a waveguide mode expander that expands an optical mode of light traversing the chiplet.

    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.
