Optical Component Having Waveguides Extending From A Common Region

Assignee:
Kotura, Inc. - Monterey Park CA
International Classification:
B29D011/00
US Classification:
216 24
Abstract:
A method of forming an optical component includes forming a first mask on an optical component precursor. The first mask is formed with a plurality of waveguide portions extending from a common portion. Each waveguide portion is positioned so as to protect a waveguide region of the optical component precursor where a waveguide is to be formed. The method also includes forming a second mask between waveguide portions of the first mask. The resistance of the second mask to etching varies along at least one dimension of the second mask.

US Classification:
430321, 430323, 216 24, 216 72
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an optical component includes forming a mask on an optical component precursor. The method also includes etching through at least a portion of the mask so as to etch an underlying medium concurrently with remaining mask and transfer a feature of an upper surface of the mask onto an upper surface of the underlying medium. The etch can be configured such that a ratio of the underlying medium etch rate to the mask etch rate is less than about 1. 5:1. In some instances, the underlying medium is silicon and the mask is a photoresist.

International Classification:
G02F 1/035 G02B 6/26 G02B 6/42
US Classification:
385 3, 385 2, 385 40
Abstract:
An optical device includes a phase modulator having a waveguide on a substrate. The phase modulator also includes an n-type region having a proximity to a p-type region that causes formation of a depletion region when a bias is not applied to the modulator. The depletion region is at least partially positioned in the light signal carrying region of the waveguide. The phase modulator is tuned by applying a reverse bias to the phase modulator. The reverse bias changes the size of the depletion region.

Abstract:
An optical device includes a phase modulator positioned along a branch waveguide of a mach-zehnder interferometer. The phase modulator includes an n-type region having a proximity to a p-type region that causes a depletion region to form when a bias is not applied to the modulator. The depletion region is at least partially positioned in a light signal carrying region of the waveguide.

Assignee:
Kotura, Inc. - Monterey Park CA
International Classification:
G01T 1/20
US Classification:
25037011
Abstract:
A sensor includes a carrier carrying a light sensor array. The light sensor array has pixels that are each configured to generate an electrical output in response to receiving a light photon. The light sensor array can be included in or on a wafer or can be built in or on a wafer. The sensor also includes electrical conductors through which the pixels electrically communicate with electronics on the carrier. Each of the electrical conductors is at least partially positioned in a recess that extends into the wafer.

International Classification:
G02B 6/26
US Classification:
25022724, 25022711, 250216, 385 8, 385 15
Abstract:
An optical device includes a light-transmitting medium positioned on a base. The light-transmitting medium defines a waveguide. The optical device also includes a light sensor. The light sensor includes a light-absorbing medium positioned on the base. A portion of the waveguide ends at a facet such that a first portion of a light signal being guided by the wavegide passes through the facet and a second portion of the light signal bypasses the facet and remains in the light-transmitting medium. The light-absorbing medium is positioned on the light-transmitting medium such that the light-transmitting medium is between the light-absorbing medium and the base. Additionally, the light-absorbing medium is positioned on the light-transmitting medium such that the light-absorbing medium receives the first portion of the light signal that passes through the facet. Further, the light-absorbing medium is configured such that the second portion of the light signal is coupled into the light-absorbing medium from the light-transmitting medium.
