An imprinting method for forming an integrated optical coupling device on wafer level may include: providing a substrate, with a reflection coating disposed thereon; providing an imprinting mold, with void regions shaped according to a designed lens profile; forming a molding material on the substrate; pressing the imprinting mold on the molding material on the substrate; curing the molding material into a cured molding material; removing the imprinting mold; depositing an anti-reflection film on the cured molding material; and dicing to form an integrated optical coupling device.

Integrated lens-array-on-substrate for optical coupling system and fabrication method thereof

An integrated optical coupling device may include a substrate, a coating layer disposed on the substrate, and a prism disposed on the coating layer. The prism may include a first surface and a second surface. The integrated optical coupling device may also include a first lens disposed on the first surface of the prism, a second lens disposed on the second surface of the prism, and an anti-reflection coating layer disposed on the first lens and the second lens.

Various embodiments of a novel structure of a Ge/Si avalanche photodiode with an integrated heater, as well as a fabrication method thereof, are provided. In one aspect, a doped region is formed either on the top silicon layer or the silicon substrate layer to function as a resistor. When the environmental temperature decreases to a certain point, a temperature control loop will be automatically triggered and a proper bias is applied along the heater, thus the temperature of the junction region of a Ge/Si avalanche photodiode is kept within an optimized range to maintain high sensitivity of the avalanche photodiode and low bit-error rate level.

Ge/Si avalanche photodiode with integrated heater and fabrication thereof

In one aspect, the invention is an optical fiber having a modified geometry. The optical fiber includes an optical fiber portion. The optical fiber portion can have a first fiber end face and a cylindrical fiber surface encircling the first fiber end face. The optical fiber having a modified geometry also includes a contoured surface formed from the first fiber end face. The contoured surface does not extend beyond the cylindrical fiber surface. A reflective coating disposed on the contoured surface and an optical transmission region formed from a portion of the cylindrical fiber surface are also included in the optical fiber having a modified geometry.
