Patent number: 11480734Abstract: A device providing efficient transformation between an initial optical mode and a second optical mode includes first, second and third elements fabricated on a common substrate. The first element includes first and second active sub-layers supporting initial and final optical modes with efficient mode transformation therebetween. The second element includes a passive waveguide structure supporting a second optical mode. The third element, at least partly butt-coupled to the first element, includes an intermediate waveguide structure supporting an intermediate optical mode. If the final optical mode differs from the second optical mode by more than a predetermined amount, a tapered waveguide structure in the second or third elements facilitates efficient transformation between the intermediate optical mode and the second optical mode. Precise alignment of sub-elements formed in one of the elements, relative to sub-elements formed in another one of the elements, is defined using lithographic alignment marks.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Nexus Photonics, IncInventors: Hyundai Park, Tin Komljenovic, Chong Zhang, Minh Tran
