    Abstract: The present invention includes a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) linear driver configured in a differential form with two waveguides carrying two traveling waves which supports a two-channel spectral combiner integrated with a wavelength locker. By coupling a DC current source supplied with a modulation voltage with each segment thereof for providing electrical modulation signal overlapping with each of the two traveling waves. The modulated traveling waves in the two waveguides then are combined in one output signal by a multimode interference coupler. Two optical signals at ITU grid channels are separately modulated by two MZMs and combined into a silicon waveguide-based delayed-line interferometer built on a SOI substrate to produce an output signal having a free spectral range equal to twice of the spacing of the two ITU grid channels. Two dither signals can be added respectively to the two optical signals for identifying and locking corresponding two channel wavelengths.

    Abstract: A co-packaged optical-electrical module includes a module substrate with a minimum lateral dimension no greater than 100 mm. The co-packaged optical-electrical module further includes a main die with a processor chip disposed at a central region of the module substrate, the processor chip being configured to operate with a digital-signal processing (DSP) interface for extra-short-reach data interconnect. Additionally, the co-packaged optical-electrical module includes a plurality of chiplet dies disposed densely along a peripheral region of the module substrate. Each chiplet die is configured to be self-packaged light engine on a sub-module substrate with a minimum lateral dimension to allow a maximum number of chiplet dies on the module substrate with a distance of any chiplet die from the main die smaller than 50 mm for extra-short-reach interconnect operation.

    Abstract: An integrated compact light engine configured in a on-board in-package optics assembly. The compact light engine includes a single substrate to integrate multiple optical-electrical modules. Each optical-electrical module includes an integrated optical transceiver based on silicon-photonics platform, in which a transmit path configured to output four light signals centered at four CWDM wavelengths and from four laser devices and to modulate the four light signals respectively by four modulators driven by a driver chip and to deliver a multiplexed transmission light. A receive path includes a photodetector to detect four input signals demultiplexed from an incoming light and a trans-impedance amplifier chip to process electrical signals converted from the four input signals detected. A multi-channel light engine is formed by co-integrating or co-mounting a switch device with multiple compact light engines on a common substrate member to provide up to 51.2 Tbit/s total capacity of data communication with median-or-short-reach electrical interconnect.

    Abstract: An coherent transceiver includes a single silicon photonics substrate configured to integrate a laser diode chip flip-mounted and coupled with a wavelength tuning section to provide a laser output with tuned wavelengths which is split in X:Y ratio partly into a coherent receiver block as local-oscillator signals and partly into a coherent transmitter block as a light source. The coherent receiver includes a polarization-beam-splitter-rotator to split a coherent input signal to a TE-mode signal and a TM*-mode signal respectively detected by two 90-deg hybrid receivers and a flip-mounted TIA chip assisted by two local-oscillator signals from the tunable laser device. The coherent transmitter includes a driver chip flip-mounted on the silicon photonics substrate to drive a pair of Mach-Zehnder modulators with 90-degree shift in quadrature-phase branches to modulate the laser output to two polarized signals with I/Q modulation and uses a polarization-beam-rotator-combiner to combine them as a coherent output signal.

Additionally, the tunable laser includes an integrated coupler built in the substrate located at the edge stopper and a laser diode chip including a gain region covered by a P-type electrode and a second alignment feature structure formed beyond the P-type electrode. The laser diode chip is flipped to rest against the one or more vertical stoppers with the P-type electrode attached to the bond pad and the gain region coupled to the integrated coupler. Moreover, the tunable laser includes a tuning filter fabricated in the substrate and coupled via a wire waveguide to the integrated coupler.
