Abstract: A self-lit display panel includes a photonic integrated circuit payer including an array of waveguides and an array of out-couplers for out-coupling portions of the illuminating light through pixels of the panel. The self-lit display panel may include a transparent electronic circuitry layer backlit by the photonic integrated circuit layer; the two layers may be on a same substrate or on opposed substrates defining a cell filled with an electro-active material. The configuration allows for chief ray engineering, zonal illuminating, and separate illumination with red, green, and blue illuminating light.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method including the following steps: a) forming a waveguide from a first material, the waveguide being configured to guide an optical signal; b) forming a layer made of a second material that is electrically conductive and transparent to a wavelength of the optical signal, steps a) and b) being implemented such that the layer made of the second material is in contact with at least one of the faces of the waveguide, or is separated from the at least one of the faces by a distance of less than half, preferably less than a quarter, of the wavelength of the optical signal. The application further relates to a phase modulator, in particular obtained by such a method.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an optical structure comprises providing a layer of single crystal crystalline silicon supported on an insulating surface of a silicon substrate; using etching to remove part of the silicon layer and define a side wall which is non-parallel to the insulating surface of the substrate; forming a layer of insulating material over the side wall; forming a further layer of silicon over at least the insulating material; and removing the silicon of the further layer to a level of the layer of silicon such that the layer of insulating material occupies a slot between a portion of silicon in the layer and a portion of silicon in the further layer, a thickness of the layer of insulating material defining a width of the slot.

Abstract: The performances of a semiconductor device are improved. The semiconductor device includes an insulation layer, an optical waveguide part formed over the insulation layer, and including a p type semiconductor region and an n type semiconductor region formed therein, and an interlayer insulation film formed over the insulation layer in such a manner as to cover the optical waveguide part. At the first portion of the optical waveguide part, in a cross sectional view perpendicular to the direction of extension of the optical waveguide part, the n type semiconductor region is arranged at the central part of the optical waveguide part, and the p type semiconductor region is arranged in such a manner as to surround the entire circumference of the n type semiconductor region.

Abstract: A photonic processing module (100) comprises a high index-contrast waveguide device comprising a substrate (102), a first layer (104) disposed on the substrate having a first refractive index, and a relatively thin second layer (106) disposed on the first layer. The second layer has a second refractive index providing a high index-contrast with the first layer, and the device includes at least one thin-ridge waveguide element (108) formed in the second layer which supports a guided mode in a longitudinal direction. An optical input port (110) is configured to direct an input beam into a slab mode of the second layer, the beam being directed to propagate at a predetermined angle θ to the longitudinal direction of the thin-ridge waveguide element. The angle θ is associated with a resonant coupling between the slab mode of the second layer and the guided mode of the thin-ridge waveguide element. An output beam is thus generated when the input beam includes one or more optical components corresponding with the resonant coupling. An optical output port (112) is configured to receive the output beam.

The p-doped portions lie on one side of the waveguide, the n-doped portions lie on the other side of the waveguide and the intermediate portion lies in the center, each portion extends transversely with respect to the waveguide longitudinal direction in the direction of the waveguide center of the waveguide and no p-doped portion when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the waveguide overlaps any n-doped portion.

Abstract: Novel methods and systems for waveguide fabrication and design are disclosed. Designs are described for fabricating ridge, buried and hybrid waveguides by a femtosecond pulsed laser. A laser system may combine a diode bar, a wavelength combiner and a waveguide. The waveguide may convert the electromagnetic radiation of an infrared laser into that the visible-wavelength range.
