Abstract: An optical device includes a substrate, a dielectric layer on the substrate, a waveguide within the dielectric layer, a light sensitive component (e.g., a photodetector) in the dielectric layer and coupled to the waveguide, and a plurality of light isolation structures in at least one of the substrate or the dielectric layer and configured to prevent stray light from reaching the light sensitive component. In some embodiments, a light isolation structure in the plurality of light isolation structures includes two opposing sidewalls and a filling material between the two opposing sidewalls. The two opposing sidewalls include an optical isolation layer. The filling material is characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matching a CTE of at least one of the substrate or the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) filter comprising one or more passive compensation structures are described. The passive compensation structures yield MZI filters that are intrinsically tolerant to perturbations in waveguide dimensions and/or other ambient conditions. The use of n+1 waveguide widths can mitigate n different sources of perturbation to the filter. The use of at least three different waveguide widths for each Mach-Zehnder waveguide can alleviate sensitivity of filter performance to random width or temperature variations. A tolerance compensation portion is positioned between a first coupler section and a second coupler section, wherein the tolerance compensation portion includes a first compensation section having a second width, a second compensation section having a third width and a third compensation section having a fourth width, wherein the fourth width is greater than the third width and the third width is greater than the second width.

Abstract: A device includes a spot size converter on a substrate. The substrate includes an optical fiber alignment structure formed thereon. The spot size converter is aligned with the optical fiber alignment structure. The spot size converter includes an oxide layer that has a first refractive index and includes a tapered section such that a first end of the spot size converter is smaller than a second end of the spot size converter. The spot size converter also includes a waveguide core in the oxide layer. The waveguide core is tapered and is smaller at the first end than at the second end of the spot size converter. The spot size converter further includes a cladding layer surrounding the oxide layer, the cladding layer having a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index of the oxide layer.

Abstract: A method of resolving a number of photons received by a photon detector includes optically coupling a waveguide to a superconducting wire having alternating narrow and wide portions; electrically coupling the superconducting wire to a current source; and electrically coupling an electrical contact in parallel with the superconducting wire. The electrical contact has a resistance less than a resistance of the superconducting wire while at least one narrow portion of the superconducting wire is in a non-superconducting state. The method includes providing to the superconducting wire, from the current source, a current configured to maintain the superconducting wire in a superconducting state in the absence of incident photons; receiving one or more photons via the waveguide; measuring an electrical property of the superconducting wire, proportional to a number of photons incident on the superconducting wire; and determining the number of received photons based on the electrical property.
