Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (I/C) includes a focusing sidewall or in-plane surface that redirects and focuses light from a waveguide to a photodetector structure. The focusing includes redirecting an optical signal to a width smaller than a width of the waveguide. The focusing of the light allows the photodetector structure to be outside a waveguide defined by parallel oxide structures. With the photodetector structure outside the waveguide, the contacts can be placed closer together, which reduces contact resistance.

The transmission body defines a reflection groove and a plurality of optical signal splitting holes. A first sidewall of the reflection groove is inclined relative to the transmission direction of the optical signals. A bottom surface of each optical signal splitting hole is inclined relative to the first sidewall and to the second surface. The optical signals transmitted by the first lens set are reflected by the first sidewall. Most of the reflected optical signals are transmitted to the optical fibers via the second lens set, and a small remaining portion of optical signals are reflected by the bottom surface to the optical sensors.
