Abstract
First and second waveguide structures are coupled to a waveguide coupling structure, the first waveguide structure comprising a first guiding core structure formed on a first cladding structure, and a second cladding structure formed on the first guiding core structure. The first and second waveguide structures have respective guiding ridges. The second waveguide structure comprises a second guiding core structure formed on a third cladding structure, and a fourth cladding structure formed on the second guiding core structure. The waveguide coupling structure comprises a transition structure, a multimode interference structure between the transition structure and the second waveguide structure, and an electrode over at least a portion of the guiding ridge within the second cladding structure and over at least a portion of the transition structure.
