Abstract
Example embodiments relate to active-passive waveguide photonic systems. An example embodiment includes a monolithic integrated active/passive waveguide photonic system. The system includes a substrate having positioned thereon at least one active waveguide and at least one passive waveguide. The at least one active waveguide and the at least one passive waveguide are monolithically integrated and are arranged for evanescent wave coupling between the waveguides. The at least one active waveguide and the at least one passive waveguide are positioned so that at least a portion of each waveguide does not overlap the other waveguide, both in a height direction and in a lateral direction with respect to the substrate.
