Planar lightwave circuit with reduced stress on substrate
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886004B2) discloses a planar lightwave circuit that involves layering a glass film on a substrate and forming multiple input waveguides along with an output waveguide that is connected to the input waveguides. Additionally, the circuit includes a series of grooves in the central part of the substrate between the input waveguides and the output waveguide.
The patent further details that the grooves are created by removing the glass film and extend all the way to the substrate. Some of these grooves reach the end surfaces on both sides of the substrate. The grooves are organized in lines, forming groups, with multiple groups being formed in the circuit. This innovative design of the planar lightwave circuit aims to enhance the efficiency and performance of optical communication systems by optimizing the transmission of light signals within the circuit.
