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: A waveguide mode expander couples a smaller optical mode in a semiconductor waveguide to a larger optical mode in an optical fiber. The waveguide mode expander comprises a shoulder and a ridge. In some embodiments, the ridge of the waveguide mode expander has a plurality of stages, the plurality of stages having different widths at a given cross section.

Abstract: A photonic device includes a semiconductor wafer having a waveguide formed therein. An end of the waveguide includes a step. The photonic device further includes a semiconductor chip bonded to the semiconductor wafer and having an active region, and a waveguide coupler disposed in a gap between a sidewall of the semiconductor chip and the end of the waveguide. The waveguide coupler includes an optical bridge that has a first end and a second end opposing the first end. The first end of the optical bridge is interfaced with a facet of the active region of the semiconductor chip. The second end of the optical bridge is interfaced with the end of waveguide, and has a portion thereof disposed over the step at the end of the waveguide.

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.

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 semiconductor laser has a mirror formed in a gain chip. The mirror can be placed in the gain chip to provide a broadband reflector to support multiple lasers using the gain chip. The mirror can also be placed in the gain chip to have the semiconductor laser be more efficient or more powerful by changing an optical path length of the gain of the semiconductor laser.
