    Abstract: Microelectronic assemblies including photonic integrated circuits (PICs), related devices and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a photonic assembly may include an integrated circuit (IC) in a first layer, wherein the first layer includes a substrate having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and a lateral surface substantially perpendicular to the first and second surfaces, wherein the substrate includes a waveguide between the first and second surfaces, and wherein and the IC is nested in a cavity in the substrate; a PIC in a second layer, wherein the second layer is on the first layer and an active surface of the PIC faces the first layer, and wherein the IC is electrically coupled to the active side of the PIC; and an optical component optically coupled to the active surface of the PIC and the waveguide in the substrate at the second surface.

    Abstract: In an optical circuit, a substrate can define a cavity that extends into a substrate front surface. A sidewall of the cavity can include a substrate optical port. An optical path can extend through the substrate from a connector optical port to the substrate optical port. A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) can attach to the substrate. A PIC front surface can include a plurality of electrical connections. A PIC edge surface can extend around at least a portion of a perimeter of the PIC between the PIC front surface and a PIC back surface. A PIC optical port can be disposed on the PIC edge surface and can accept or emit an optical beam along a PIC optical axis. The PIC optical axis can be aligned with the substrate optical port when the PIC is attached to the substrate.

    Abstract: Photonic packages and device assemblies that include photonic integrated circuits (PICs) coupled to optical lenses on lateral sides of the PICs. An example photonic package comprises a package support, an integrated circuit (IC), an insulating material, a PIC having an active side and a lateral side substantially perpendicular to the active side. At least one optical structure is on the active side. A substantial portion of the active side is in contact with the insulating material, and the PIC is electrically coupled to the package support and to the IC. The photonic package further includes an optical lens coupled to the PIC on the lateral side. In some embodiments, the photonic package further includes an interposer between the PIC or the IC and the package support.
