Method and apparatus providing a coupled photonic structure

摘要

Described embodiments include optical connections for electronic-photonic devices, such as optical waveguides and photonic detectors for receiving optical waves from the optical waveguides and directing the optical waves to a common point. Methods of fabricating such connections are also described.

主权项

1. A photonic detector comprising:
a semiconductor material configured to receive an optical energy wave, wherein the semiconductor material comprises at least one curved reflecting edge shaped to reflect a plurality of evanescently received optical energy waves from sides of a curved waveguide to a common point.
