    摘要: A vertical stack of integrated circuits includes at least one CMOS electronic integrated circuit (IC), an SOI-based opto-electronic integrated circuit structure, and an optical input/output coupling element. A plurality of metalized vias may be formed through the thickness of the stack so that electrical connections can be made between each integrated circuit. Various types of optical input/output coupling can be used, such as prism coupling, gratings, inverse tapers, and the like. By separating the optical and electrical functions onto separate ICs, the functionalities of each may be modified without requiring a re-design of the remaining system. By virtue of using SOI-based opto-electronics with the CMOS electronic ICs, a portion of the SOI structure may be exposed to provide access to the waveguiding SOI layer for optical coupling purposes.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing releasable attachment between a fiber connector and an opto-electronic assembly, the opto-electronic assembly utilizing an interposer substrate to support a plurality of opto-electronic components that generates optical output signals and receives optical input signals. An enclosure is used to cover the interposer substrate and includes a transparent region through which the optical output and input signals pass unimpeded. A magnetic connector component is attached to the lid and positioned to surround the transparent region, with a fiber connector for supporting one or more optical fibers magnetically attached to the connector component by virtue of a metallic component contained in the fiber connector. This arrangement provides releasable attachment of the fiber connector to the enclosure in a manner where the optical output and input signals align with the optical fibers in the connector.

    摘要: An arrangement for providing passive alignment between an optical fiber and the “tip” of a nanotaper coupling waveguide (the nanotaper formed within the SOI layer of an SOI-based optoelectronic arrangement). The arrangement includes a separate fiber carrier support element, including a longitudinal V-groove for supporting the fiber and an alignment feature formed parallel thereto. The SOI structure is formed to include an associated alignment slot, so that as the fiber carrier is positioned over and attached to the SOI structure, the alignment feature and alignment slot will mate together and provide passive alignment of the optical fiber to the nanotaper waveguide tip.

The input to the waveguide may come from an optical fiber or an optical transmitting device (laser). A similar coupling arrangement may be used between a thin silicon waveguide and an output fiber (either single mode fiber or multimode fiber).
