Abstract: A device comprises first, second and third elements fabricated on a common substrate. The first element comprises an active waveguide structure comprising: a first portion supporting a first optical mode. The second element comprises a passive waveguide structure supporting a second optical mode. The third element, at least partly butt-coupled to the second portion, comprises an intermediate waveguide structure supporting intermediate optical modes. At least part of the second element is non-linear, supporting frequency conversion. A tapered waveguide structure in at least one of the second and third elements facilitates efficient adiabatic transformation between the first optical mode and one intermediate optical mode. No adiabatic transformation occurs between any intermediate optical mode and the first optical mode. Mutual alignments of the elements are defined using lithographic alignment marks.

Abstract: A device comprises three elements. The first element, comprising an optical gain structure and a laser cavity mirror structure, couples light to the second element, comprising a phase tuner. The second element couples phase tuned light to the third element. The third element, comprising an optical resonator with first and second coupler/splitter structures, provides a primary optical output from the second coupler/splitter structure. Light coupled into the optical resonator through the first coupler/splitter structure and then coupled out of the optical resonator though the first coupler/splitter structure is injected back into the optical gain structure through the second element. Light coupled out of the optical resonator through the second coupler/splitter structure is provided as the primary optical output.

Abstract: A device includes a first element having a passive waveguide structure supporting a first optical mode, a second element providing heat spreading functionality, a third element thermally coupled to the second element, having an active waveguide structure supporting a second optical mode, and a fourth element, at least partly butt-coupled to the third element, having an intermediate waveguide structure supporting intermediate optical modes. A tapered waveguide structure in either one of the first and fourth elements facilitates efficient adiabatic transformation between the first optical mode and one of the intermediate optical modes. No adiabatic transformation occurs between any of the intermediate optical modes and the second optical mode. Mutual alignments of the first, second, third and fourth elements are defined using lithographic alignment marks that facilitate precise alignment between layers formed during processing steps of fabricating the first, second, third and fourth elements.
