Abstract:
A light shield may be formed in photonic integrated circuit between integrated optical devices of the photonic integrated circuit. The light shield may be built by using materials already present in the photonic integrated circuit, for example the light shield may include metal walls and doped semiconductor regions. Light-emitting or light-sensitive integrated optical devices or modules of a photonic integrated circuit may be constructed with light shields integrally built in.

Claim (Index 42):
The photonic integrated circuit according to  claim 33 , further comprising a metal shield layer mounted on the optically-absorbing, light-shield structure over the first slab waveguide for shielding the first integrated optical device from stray light.
