Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention describe optical devices including a III-V slab having a taper including a first region and a second region smaller than the first. Said first region receives light and confines an optical mode of the received light; thus, as opposed to the prior art solutions, said III-V regions of optical devices perform the optical function of mode confinement. Embodiments of the invention further describe optical devices including a silicon slab to receive light from said III-V slab, and having a taper including a first silicon region and a second silicon region smaller than the first. Said first region receives light and confines an optical mode of the received light.
