Abstract:
1. An optical circuit, comprising: a substrate having first, second, third, fourth edges; a first waveguide having first and second ends, the first waveguide extending between the first and second ends of the first waveguide, the first end of the first waveguide terminating at the first edge of the substrate and the second end of the first waveguide terminating at the first edge of the substrate, such that the first and second ends of the first waveguide are flush with the first edge of the substrate, and the first waveguide is provided entirely on the substrate; and a second waveguide having first and second ends, the second waveguide extending between the first and second ends of the second waveguide, the first end of the second waveguide terminating at the first edge of the substrate and the second end of the second waveguide terminating at the first edge of the substrate, such that the first and second ends of the second waveguide are flush with the first edge of the substrate, and the second waveguide is provided entirely on the substrate, wherein the first edge of the substrate and the first waveguide surround an optical processing area, the optical processing area including an optical wavelength processing device.
