Abstract: Disclosed is a thermal stabilization circuit including a heater, which is adjacent and thermally coupled to a closed-curve waveguide of an optical ring resonator, and an analog feedback circuit, which includes a fully autonomous analog feedback loop from a drop port of a bus waveguide of the optical ring resonator to the heater. This analog feedback circuit is configured to dynamically control the electrical power provided to the heater and, thereby to dynamically control the thermal output of the heater in order to tune the ring resonance wavelength to the operating laser wavelength. The analog feedback circuit is further configured to be independent of input power, to be power efficient, to have a relatively small footprint, to have a tunable time constant and to facilitate adjustable wavelength locking. Also disclosed is a device (e.g., a ring-based transceiver or the like), which includes multiple optical ring resonators and corresponding thermal stabilization circuits.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, software tool, etc. for generating a layout indicating the paths for balanced optical waveguides (WGs) of a WG bus. A grid is used to route paths, which extend between corresponding first and second input/output nodes, respectively, and which are within boundaries of a defined area. The paths are automatically rerouted to balance for length and number of bends without overly increasing the lengths of or number of bends in those paths and further without moving the input/output nodes or falling outside the established boundaries. Automatic rerouting of the paths is performed iteratively based on results of various intersection operations related to different path-specific sets of points on the grid to determine when and where to insert additional linear segments and bends into the paths. Then, a layout indicating the balanced paths is generated. Also disclosed is a WG bus structure with balanced optical WGs.

Abstract: Structures including a grating coupler and methods of forming a structure that includes a grating coupler. The grating coupler includes segments that are spaced along a longitudinal axis. Each segment is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis. Each segment includes a first curved section having a first curvature and a second curved section having a second curvature that is inverted relative to the first curvature.

Abstract: Structures for a wavelength-division multiplexing filter and methods of forming a structure for a wavelength-division multiplexing filter. A waveguide core of the wavelength-division multiplexing filter includes a first bend having a first curvature and a second bend having a second curvature different than the first curvature. The structure further includes a waveguide core region having a first end surface, a second end surface, and a bend arranged between the first and second end surfaces. The bend is positioned over the first bend of the waveguide core in an overlapping relationship.

Abstract: Structures including an edge coupler and methods of fabricating a structure including an edge coupler. The edge coupler includes a waveguide core, and a shaped layer is positioned over a portion of the waveguide core. The waveguide core is comprised of a first material, and the shaped layer is comprised of a second material different in composition from the first material. The first material may be, for example, single-crystal silicon, and the second material may be, for example, silicon nitride.

Abstract: Disclosed is a photonic structure and associated method. The structure includes a closed-curve waveguide having a first height, as measured from the top surface of an insulator layer, and an outer curved sidewall that extends essentially vertically the full first height (e.g., to minimize signal loss). The structure includes a closed-curve thermal coupler and a heating element. The closed-curve thermal coupler is thermally coupled to and laterally surrounded by the closed-curve waveguide and has a second height that is less than the first height. In some embodiments, the closed-curve waveguide and the closed-curve thermal coupler are continuous portions of the same semiconductor layer having different thicknesses. The heating element is thermally coupled to the closed-curve thermal coupler and thereby indirectly thermally coupled to the closed-curve waveguide. Thus, the heating element is usable for thermally tuning the closed-curve waveguide via the closed-curve thermal coupler to minimize any temperature-dependent resonance shift (TDRS).

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) structure with a passage for a waveguide through a barrier structure. The PIC structure includes a barrier structure on a substrate, having a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall.
