Abstract: An integrated apparatus with optical/electrical interfaces and protocol converter on a single silicon substrate. The apparatus includes an optical module comprising one or more modulators respectively coupled with one or more laser devices for producing a first optical signal to an optical interface and one or more photodetectors for detecting a second optical signal from the optical interface to generate a current signal. Additionally, the apparatus includes a transmit lane module coupled between the optical module and an electrical interface to receive a first electric signal from the electrical interface and provide a framing protocol for driving the one or more modulators. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a receive lane module coupled between the optical module and the electrical interface to process the current signal to send a second electric signal to the electrical interface.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting fiber mode to waveguide mode. The apparatus includes a silicon substrate member and a dielectric member having an elongated body. Part of the elongated body from a back end overlies the silicon substrate member and remaining part of the elongated body up to a front end is separated from the silicon substrate member by a second dielectric material at an under region. The apparatus also includes a waveguide including a segment from the back end to a tail end formed on the dielectric member at least partially overlying the remaining part of the elongated body. The segment is buried in a cladding overlying entirely the dielectric member. The cladding has a refractive index that is less than the waveguide but includes an index-graded section with decreasing index that is formed at least over the segment from the tail end toward the back end.

Abstract: An apparatus to attach a fiber block to a silicon waveguide. The apparatus includes a holder base holding a portion of an array of optical fibers aligned optically in multiple slots in parallel. The apparatus further includes a holder cap combined with the holder base for fixing the portion of the fibers and leaving the fibers free with arbitrary length beyond a first edge of the holder base but keeping only additional second length of the fibers beyond a second edge of the holder base with fiber ending facets at the second length. Additionally, the apparatus includes a silicon photonics waveguide chip including an attachment section connected to a waveguide section. The attachment section includes multiple grooves laid in parallel for respectively attaching with the second length of the fibers so that the fiber ending facets are coupled to multiple waveguides formed in parallel in the waveguide section.
