Chip-scale photonics platform with integrated wavelength-tunable laser

“Compact narrow-linewidth integrated laser based on a low-loss silicon nitride ring resonator” Opt Lett, 2017 Nov 1; 42(21): 4541-4544.

This technology is a laser cavity design that uses an integrated resonator as a cavity mirror for on-chip lasers.

Unmet Need: Compact, low-loss, integrated lasers with narrow linewidths.

This technology is a photonic funnel structure for efficient and alignment-tolerant coupling of optical fiber to waveguide.

Unmet Need: Robust, efficient, and low-cost process for coupling light in and out of nanophotonic devices.
