    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.

    Abstract: Variations in a thermal structure for an open cavity photonic integrated circuit (OCPIC) having an MRR. The structure includes an air trench in fluid communication with an air cavity that is located under the MRR. The air trench is a gap/opening in the oxide that encircles at least a portion of the MRR and extends outward radially therefrom, with a consistent width, to a diameter D1. An oxide cladding is not removed in areas that are used for metal traces and routing. The structure is characterized by straight walls along the air trench. The structure has a lower diameter D2, measured at a bottom/floor of the air cavity. In various embodiments, D2 is substantially equal to D1.

    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 including an insulating material, wherein the IC is embedded in the insulating material; a PIC, having an active surface, in a second layer, wherein the second layer is on the first layer, the second layer includes the insulating material, and the PIC is embedded in the insulating material with the active surface facing the first layer and electrically coupled to the IC; and a housing, having an optical lens optically coupled to an internal surface of the housing, attached to the active surface of the PIC and extending from the active surface of the PIC through the insulating material in the first layer, wherein the internal surface of the housing is opposite the active surface of the PIC.
