摘要: A thermo-optic phase shifter includes a substrate having a cavity formed into an upper region of the substrate. The thermo-optic phase shifter includes an optical waveguide disposed above the substrate. The optical waveguide extends across and above the cavity. The thermo-optic phase shifter also includes a heater device disposed along a lateral side of the optical waveguide. The heater device extends across and above the cavity. The cavity is formed by an undercut etching process after the optical waveguide and the heater device is formed. The optical waveguide can be formed to include one or more segments that pass over the cavity. Also, a second heater device can be included such that the one or more segments of the optical waveguide that extend over the cavity are bracketed by heater devices. Thermal transmission structures can be included to enhance heat transfer between the heater device(s) and the optical waveguide.

摘要: A package assembly includes a silicon photonics chip having an optical waveguide exposed at a first side of the chip and an optical fiber coupling region formed along the first side of the chip. The package assembly includes a mold compound structure formed to extend around second, third, and fourth sides of the chip. The mold compound structure has a vertical thickness substantially equal to a vertical thickness of the chip. The package assembly includes a redistribution layer formed over the chip and over a portion of the mold compound structure. The redistribution layer includes electrically conductive interconnect structures to provide fanout of electrical contacts on the chip to corresponding electrical contacts on the redistribution layer. The redistribution layer is formed to leave the optical fiber coupling region exposed. An optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber coupling region in optical alignment with the optical waveguide within the chip.

摘要: A computer memory system includes an electro-optical chip, an electrical fanout chip electrically connected to an electrical interface of the electro-optical chip, and at least one dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot electrically connected to the electrical fanout chip. A photonic interface of the electro-optical chip is optically connected to an optical link. The electro-optical chip includes at least one optical macro that converts outgoing electrical data signals into outgoing optical data signals for transmission through the optical link. The optical macro also converts incoming optical data signals from the optical link into incoming electrical data signals and transmits the incoming electrical data signals to the electrical fanout chip. The electrical fanout chip directs bi-directional electrical data communication between the electro-optical chip and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) DIMM corresponding to the at least one DIMM slot.

摘要: An electro-optic receiver includes a polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) that directs incoming light having a first polarization through a first end of an optical waveguide, and that rotates incoming light from a second polarization to the first polarization to create polarization-rotated light that is directed to a second end of the optical waveguide. The incoming light of the first polarization and the polarization-rotated light travel through the optical waveguide in opposite directions. A plurality of ring resonators is optically coupled the optical waveguide. Each ring resonator is configured to operate at a respective resonant wavelength, such that the incoming light of the first polarization having the respective resonant wavelength optically couples into said ring resonator in a first propagation direction, and such that the polarization-rotated light having the respective resonant wavelength optically couples into said ring resonator in a second propagation direction opposite the first propagation direction.
