Abstract:
A method for on-wafer testing of optical structures of photonic chips that include edge couplers as input/out ports includes defining, in test a test area of the wafer, an edge coupler pair formed of two edge couplers separated by a test gap, which may have a width that is close to the width of a chip-fiber gap during normal operation of the photonic chips. Test areas may include chains of different numbers of the edge coupler pairs for determining coupling loss per edge coupler.

Claim (Index 7):
The photonic wafer of  claim 1  wherein the one or more ECPs comprise a first ECP, and wherein the first test structure comprises:\n a test instance of the optical device optically connected to a first test edge coupler of the two test edge couplers of the first ECP; and, \n an input test port for coupling test light into a second edge coupler of the two edge couplers of the first ECP for propagating through the test gap of the first ECP into the edge coupler of the test instance of the optical device.
