Title: Seyediman Taghavi: Advancing Integrated Photonics

Introduction

Seyediman Taghavi is an inventor associated with The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. His work includes an invention for integrating optical components with photonic chips.

Latest Patents

Taghavi is associated with 1 patent, titled “On-chip integration of optical components with photonic wire bonds and/or lenses.” The patent describes systems and methods for fabricating a semiconductor chip with an integrated laser diode or another optical component. One approach forms a recess shaped to receive the component, metallizes at least one surface of the recess, and couples the component to that surface. For a laser diode, the n-type semiconductor may be electrically connected to the metallized surface. The optical output can then be coupled to the chip’s photonic interface using a photonic wire bond, one or more polymer lenses, or both.

Career Highlights

The invention addresses the integration of optical components into semiconductor chips, including their physical placement, electrical connection, and optical coupling. These techniques are relevant to the design and fabrication of photonic systems.
