摘要:
A photonic integrated circuit apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a photonic chip and a lens array coupling element. The photonic chip includes a waveguide at a side edge surface of the photonic chip. The lens array coupling element is mounted on a top surface of the photonic chip and on the side edge surface. The coupling element includes a lens array that is configured to modify spot sizes of light traversing to or from the waveguide. The coupling element further includes an overhang on a side of the coupling element that opposes the lens array and that abuts the top surface of the photonic chip. The overhang includes a vertical stop surface that has a depth configured to horizontally align an edge of the waveguide with a focal length of the lens array and that vertically aligns focal points of the lens array with the edge of the waveguide.

A chip system and method includes a photonics chip and an electrical integrated circuit (IC) flip-chip coupled to the photonics chip to form an optochip. The IC or the photonics chip includes an array of bond pads for attachment to the other. The optochip has an array of bond pads for subsequent attachment to a carrier where the photonics chip includes an exposed edge to connect with at least one waveguide.

A differential amplifier stage and method for offset cancellation include an amplifier having an input and an output. An internal offset cancellation circuit has an input for receiving a control signal to control offset cancellation in the amplifier. The offset cancellation circuit is integrated with the amplifier but isolated from the input and the output of the amplifier, and, in accordance with its isolation, an impedance of the stage is unaffected by the offset cancellation circuit.
