    摘要: Techniques for signal amplification for a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an optical fiber (104) is coupled to an input signal waveguide (110) in a glass interposer (102), and an input signal waveguide (130) of a PIC die is coupled to the input signal waveguide (110) of the glass interposer (102). In order to compensate for any coupling losses, the input signal waveguide (110) of the glass interposer (102) is active, amplifying an input signal. Light in a pump waveguide (114) near the input signal waveguide (110) pumps ions in the input signal waveguide (110) into a population inversion, allowing them to amplify the input signal.
