Chip-Level 1 $\times$ 2 Optical Interconnects Using Polymer Vertical Splitter on Silicon Substrate

Abstract: The chip-level 1 Â 2 optical interconnects using the polymer vertical splitter developed on a silicon substrate are demonstrated. The 1 Â 2 vertical-splitting configuration is realized using a polymer waveguide terminated at three silicon 45 reflectors. The highfrequency transmission lines combined with the indium solder bumps are developed to flipchip assemble a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser chip at the input port and two photodetector chips at two output ports. Total transmission loss of À3.26 dB wi… Show more

“…In terms of low-power-consumption operation, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) [8]- [11], micro-disk lasers [12], [13], and photonic crystal lasers [14]- [17] were reported. Although VCSELs are suitable for low power consumption with sufficient light output power, 45°-tilted micro-mirrors are required for in-plane integration [18]. While micro-disk lasers and photonic crystal lasers are very attractive for ultra-low threshold current operation due to their strong optical confinement effect into a very small active region, very strong optical confinement leads to lower optical output power.…”

“…As for optical interconnects systems, polymer waveguides also give a promising performance as chip-level optical interconnects on a silicon platform [106]. High data transmission rate as 10 Gbit s −1 and low bit error rates better than 10 −12 in polymer waveguide-based optical interconnects exhibit the applicability in high-speed data transmission [107]. In terms of glass waveguide, various advantages can be found in glass materials such as low cost of material, being compatible with optical fibers, low propagation loss, birefringence, high stability and reliability [108].…”
