Abstract:
A scavenging photodetection device ( 10 ) is provided. The scavenging photodetection device ( 10 ) includes an optical coupling portion ( 12 ) and a scavenging photodetection portion ( 14 ). The optical coupling portion ( 12 ) includes an optical coupler ( 16 ) configured to receive light from a light source, a plurality of light absorbers ( 18 ) arranged to absorb the light from the light source that is not collected by the optical coupler ( 16 ), and at least one primary input waveguide ( 20 ) optically coupled to the optical coupler ( 16 ) and configured to direct collected light to a photonic integrated circuit. The scavenging photodetection portion ( 14 ) includes a primary photodetector ( 22 ) configured to collect uncollected light from the optical coupling portion ( 12 ) to determine an alignment position of the photonic integrated circuit.
