Heterogeneously integrated electro-optic modulator

In an electro-optical modulator, an electro-optical modulation layer is bonded to a cladding layer that overlies a substrate. A modulation zone waveguide is optically coupled to the electro-optical modulation layer and optically coupled to an I/O waveguiding structure embedded in the cladding layer. The I/O waveguiding structure is conformed to guide input light toward the modulation zone waveguide and to guide output light away from the modulation zone waveguide.

Optical coupler for heterogeneous integration

In an optical apparatus, an introduced semiconductor device is heterointegrated on a silicon-based platform containing a silicon-based waveguide. A polymeric waveguide is optically coupled to the introduced semiconductor device and overlies at least a portion of the silicon-based waveguide. The polymeric waveguide is conformed as a multimode interference (MMI) coupler between the introduced semiconductor device and the silicon-based waveguide. At least the polymeric waveguide, and in embodiments, also the silicon-based waveguide, is tapered with a shape that effectuates optical coupling to the silicon-based waveguide.

Heterogeneous integration of an electro-optical platform

A hybrid photonic integrated circuit and a method of its manufacture are provided. A SiP functional layer is fabricated on an SOI wafer. A lithium niobate thin film is bonded to the SiP functional layer. The silicon handle layer is removed from the SOI wafer to expose buried oxide, and at least one III-V die is bonded to the exposed buried oxide. In embodiments, at least one waveguiding component is fabricated in the SiP functional layer. In embodiments, the SiP functional layer comprises a top waveguiding layer.
