LIGHT DEFLECTION STRUCTURE TO INCREASE OPTICAL COUPLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149325 titled 'LIGHT DEFLECTION STRUCTURE TO INCREASE OPTICAL COUPLING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a semiconductor device that includes a dielectric structure, an edge coupler, and a deflector structure. The edge coupler has multiple optical core segments and is located within the dielectric structure. The deflector structure is positioned next to the edge coupler and is designed to redirect an optical signal from one direction to another towards the edge coupler.

  • The semiconductor device includes a dielectric structure on a substrate.
  • An edge coupler is present within the dielectric structure and consists of multiple optical core segments.
  • A deflector structure is also within the dielectric structure and is positioned next to the edge coupler.
  • The deflector structure is capable of redirecting an optical signal traveling in one direction towards the edge coupler in a different direction.

Potential Applications

  • Optical communication systems
  • Fiber optic networks
  • Data centers
  • Telecommunications industry

Problems Solved

  • Efficiently redirecting optical signals towards an edge coupler
  • Enhancing the performance of optical communication systems
  • Improving the functionality of fiber optic networks

Benefits

  • Improved signal transmission in optical communication systems
  • Increased efficiency and reliability of fiber optic networks
  • Enhanced performance and functionality of data centers and telecommunications industry


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor device including a dielectric structure disposed on a first substrate. An edge coupler is disposed within the dielectric structure and comprises a plurality of optical core segments. A deflector structure is disposed within the dielectric structure and is laterally adjacent to the edge coupler. The deflector structure is configured to redirect an optical signal traveling along a first direction to a second direction towards the edge coupler.
