Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is described. This PIC includes an inverse facet mirror on a silicon optical waveguide for optical proximity coupling between two silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chips placed face to face. Accurate mirror facets may be fabricated in etch pits using a silicon micro-machining technique, with wet etching of the silicon facet at an angle of 45° when etched through the surface. Moreover, by filling the etch pit with polycrystalline silicon or another filling material that has an index of refraction similar to silicon (such as a silicon-germanium alloy), a reflecting mirror with an accurate angle can be formed at the end of the silicon optical waveguide using: a metal coating, a dielectric coating, thermal oxidation, or selective silicon dry etching removal of one side of the etch pit to define a cavity.

Abstract: A standard-CMOS-process-compatible optical mode converter transitions an optical mode size using a series of adjacent regions having different optical mode sizes. In particular, in a partial-slab-mode region, which is adjacent to an initial rib-optical-waveguide-mode region, a width of a slab portion of the rib-type optical waveguide decreases and a width of a rib portion of the rib-type optical waveguide decreases to a first minimum tip size. Then, in a slab-mode region, which is adjacent to the partial-slab-mode region, the width of the slab portion decreases to a second minimum tip size. In addition, a dielectric layer is disposed over the slab portion, the rib portion and the BOX layer in the partial-slab-mode region, the slab portion and the BOX layer in the slab-mode region, and the BOX layer in a released-mode region that is adjacent to the slab-mode region and that does not include the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A fabrication technique for cleaving a substrate in an integrated circuit is described. During this fabrication technique, a trench is defined on a back side of a substrate. For example, the trench may be defined using photoresist and/or a mask pattern on the back side of the substrate. The trench may extend from the back side to a depth less than a thickness of the substrate. Moreover, a buried-oxide layer and a semiconductor layer may be disposed on a front side of the substrate. In particular, the substrate may be included in a silicon-on-insulator technology. By applying a force proximate to the trench, the substrate may be cleaved to define a surface, such as an optical facet. This surface may have high optical quality and may extend across the substrate, the buried-oxide layer and the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: An integrated optical device includes an electro-absorption modulator disposed on a top surface of an optical waveguide. The electro-absorption modulator includes germanium disposed in a cavity between an n-type doped silicon sidewall and a p-type doped silicon sidewall. By applying a voltage between the n-type doped silicon sidewall and the p-type doped silicon sidewall, an electric field can be generated in a plane of the optical waveguide, but perpendicular to a propagation direction of the optical signal. This electric field shifts a band gap of the germanium, thereby modulating the optical signal.
