Abstract: A substantially planar waveguide for dynamically controlling the out-of-plane angle at which a light beam exits the waveguide. Generally, liquid crystal materials may be disposed within a waveguide in a cladding proximate or adjacent to a core layer of the waveguide. In one example, the waveguide may contain one or more taper regions such that the light beam exits the waveguide and propagates out-of-the-plane of the waveguide into an out-coupling medium at a propagation angle. In one example, the waveguide may contain one or more electrodes onto which one or more voltages may be applied. The magnitude of the propagation angle may be electronically controlled by stored by controlling or altering the magnitude of the one or more applied voltages.

Abstract: A polymer-clad optical modulator includes a substrate comprising an insulating material; a silicon microring on the substrate; silicon waveguides on the substrate adjacent the silicon microring; an electro-optic polymer covering the silicon microring and the silicon waveguide; and an electrical contact on top of the electro-optic polymer. The silicon microring or a portion of an adjacent silicon layer is lightly doped. A polymer-clad depletion type optical modulator and a polymer-clad carrier injection type optical modulator, each employing the lightly doped silicon microring or an adjacent lightly doped silicon layer, are also described.
