Abstract:
Optical component and methods for forming optical components are described. The optical component includes a substrate having a base and a fin extending from the base, a buffer layer formed on the substrate leaving a portion of the fin exposed, and a confinement layer deposited over the buffer layer and the fin. The refractive index of the substrate is greater than the refractive index of the confinement layer, and the refractive index of the confinement layer is greater than the refractive index of the buffer layer.

Claim (Index 6):
The optical component of  claim 4 , further comprising:\n electronic circuitry and photonic integrated circuit devices fabricated on the substrate and connected via the optical waveguide.
