Abstract: An apparatus for dissipating heat from a photonic transceiver module. The apparatus includes a top-plate member disposed in a length direction of a package for the photonic transceiver module. The apparatus further includes multiple fins formed on the top-plate member along the length direction from a backend position to a frontend position except at least one fin with a shorter length, forming an elongated void from the backend position to one backend of the at least one fin. Additionally, the apparatus includes a cover member disposed over the multiple fins with a horizontal sheet, two vertical side sheets, and a flange bent vertically from a middle portion of backend of the horizontal sheet. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a spring loaded in the elongated void between the flange and the one backend of the at least one fin to minimize an air gap at the backend of the horizontal sheet.

Abstract: A wavelength locker integrated with a silicon photonics transmission system comprising a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and an input via a power tap coupler to receive a fraction of a transmission signal with one or more frequencies from a primary output path of the silicon photonics transmission system. The wavelength locker further includes a splitter configured to split the input to a first signal in a first path and a second signal in a second path and a first delay-line-interferometer (DLI) coupled to the second path to receive the second signal and configured to generate an interference spectrum and output at least two sub-spectrums tunable to keep quadrature points of the sub-spectrums at respective one or more target frequencies. The wavelength locker is configured to generate an error signal fed back to the silicon photonics transmission system for locking the one or more frequencies at the one or more target frequencies.
