Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an optical module including a first waveguide and a bypass waveguide. The first waveguide laterally extends in a first direction. The first waveguide comprises a first waveguide body segment and a first waveguide coupler structure. A transverse waveguide laterally extends in a second direction different from the first direction. A first dielectric layer is disposed over the first waveguide and the transverse waveguide. A bypass waveguide overlies the first dielectric layer and laterally extends in the first direction. The bypass waveguide comprises a bypass body segment and a first bypass coupler structure. At least a portion of the first bypass coupler structure overlies the first waveguide coupler structure. The bypass body segment overlies at least a portion of the transverse waveguide.
