    摘要: Methods of forming waveguide connectors include positioning a polymer waveguide in one or more insertion structures within an inner portion of a cap where the polymer waveguide has alignment features on a connection end face corresponding to one or more components of an assembled connector. The method can include inserting a ferrule into the inner portion of the cap such that an inner wall of the cap seals around the assembled connector to prevent contaminants from entering the inner portion and heating the polymer waveguide and the ferrule to a first temperature with the ferrule comprising alignment features and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from the polymer waveguide. The alignment features of the polymer waveguide align with the alignment features of the ferrule when the polymer waveguide and the ferrule are heated to the first temperature.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for single edge coupling of chips with integrated waveguides. For example, a package structure includes a first chip with a first critical edge, and a second chip with a second critical edge. The first and second chips include integrated waveguides with end portions that terminate on the first and second critical edges. The second chip includes a signal reflection structure that is configured to reflect an optical signal propagating in one or more of the integrated waveguides of the second chip. The first and second chips are edge-coupled at the first and second critical edges such that the end portions of the integrated waveguides of the first and second chips are aligned to each other, and wherein all signal input/output between the first and second chips occurs at the single edge-coupled interface.
