Polarization management is very important for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and their
applications. Due to geometrical anisotropy and fabrication inaccuracies, the characteristics …

We review recent work done by the photonics packaging platform ePIXpack that serves the
academic community with packaging and assembly developments in the area of integrated …

Differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals are promising candidate for the long-haul
transmission systems. However, the development of the all-optical signal processing …

Grating couplers are an efficient means for fiber to chip coupling, as they require no facet
preparation and enable wafer scale testing. While grating couplers are commonly used in …

We report on a narrow-band, polarization-independent, transmission filter using phase-
shifted, polarization-rotating Bragg gratings (PRBGs) in a silicon-on-insulator strip …

We demonstrate bistability in a submicron silicon optical phase shifter based on the
photoelastic effect. The strain magnitude is electrically controlled by a piezoelectric thin film …

We demonstrate compact multimode interference (MMI) couplers on silicon-on-insulator that
exhibit both high performance and relaxed tolerances. The devices are fabricated with a …

The peak intensity of cavity solitons, forming in optically injected vertical-cavity, surface-
emitting lasers, is very sensitive to any small variation in the amplitude of the so-called …

This chapter reviews the characteristics of SOI ridge waveguide birefringence, as governed
by the waveguide cross-section geometry, the cladding stress level, and cladding thickness …
