    Abstract: A reduced bridge structure for a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or any integrated circuit comprising a ring resonator structure. The reduced bridge structure is an architecture including an optical and electrical routing arrangement to reduce the number of bridges around the micro-ring structure of the ring resonator structure. Embodiments reserve one bridge portion for use as a signal trace, not routing the signal trace over a silicon waveguide. By not routing the signal trace over a silicon waveguide, the structure avoids possible interference between the radio frequency (RF) signal on the signal trace and optical communication (a light wave) propagating in the silicon waveguide.

    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.
