    Abstract: Aspects described herein include an optical apparatus comprising an input port configured to receive an optical signal comprising a plurality of wavelengths, and a plurality of output ports. Each output port is configured to output a respective wavelength of the plurality of wavelengths. The optical apparatus further comprises a first plurality of two-mode Bragg gratings in a cascaded arrangement. Each grating of the first plurality of two-mode Bragg gratings is configured to reflect a respective wavelength of the plurality of wavelengths toward a respective output port of the plurality of output ports, and transmit any remaining wavelengths of the plurality of wavelengths.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide for an optical modulator that includes a first silicon region, a polycrystalline silicon region; a gate oxide region joining the first silicon region to a first side of the polycrystalline region; and a second silicon region formed on a second side of the polycrystalline silicon region opposite to the first side, thereby defining an active region of an optical modulator between the first silicon region, the polycrystalline region, the gate oxide region, and the second silicon region. The polycrystalline silicon region may be between 0 and 60 nanometers thick, and may be formed or patterned to the desired thickness. The second silicon region may be epitaxially grown from the polycrystalline silicon region and patterned into a desired cross sectional shape separately from or in combination with the polycrystalline silicon region.

    Abstract: Improvements in extinguishing optical signals in silicon photonics may be achieved by supplying a test signal of a known characteristics to a Photonic Element (PE) to extinguish the test signal via a first phase shifter and intensity modulator on a first arm of the PE and a second phase shifter and intensity modulator on a second arm of the PE; sweeping through a plurality of voltages at the first intensity modulator to identify a first voltage that is associated with an extinction ratio at an output of the PE that satisfies an induced loss threshold and a second voltage that is associated with an induced loss in the test signal at the output of the PE that satisfies an extinction ratio threshold; and setting the PE to provide an operational voltage to the first intensity modulator based on the first voltage and the second voltage.
