“…Indeed, vertical grating couplers exhibit low coupling losses [6] and do not require any facet preparation like cleaving or polishing. They are fully compatible with standard lithography process steps and already used in industrial products [7]. Figure 1 is a schematic of the dry-film alignment principle decribed in this paper : Figure 1 : dry-film pattern for passive alignment of an optical fiber, e.g.…”

Packaging of optolelectronic devices has always been a bottleneck for mass production. Today, it is still the case for Silicon Photonics Devices. Intrinsically, the technology of silicon nanowires integrated onto SOI electronic integrated circuits allows the same kind of cost reduction as the one encountered in the microelectronic industry. However, smart solutions have to be proposed in order not to lose this benefit because of the use of non suitable packaging architectures.In this paper, we present a low-cost, mass production compatible and easy-to-transfer technique that allows optical fibers to be passively aligned in front of silicon photonics devices' optical I/Os. This technique is based on the use of dry-film structures that enable optical fibers to be positioned with accuracy below 5 µm. Combined with optical input like photodiodes or with I/Os made of vertical grating coupler, this approach is a promising one for achieving future low cost integrated optical devices.Moreover, the concept could be extended to multichannel devices used for Parallel Optics links.

“…In Ref. [57], it has been demonstrated that error-free WDM transmission with four channels was achieved even when the crosstalk for the WDM filters is up to -17 dB. It is expected to realize error-free transmission with more WDM channels by using the improved SOI-nanowire AWGs and EDGs shown in Table 1.…”

Silicon-based on-chip multiplexing technologies and devices for Peta-bit optical interconnects

An effective solution to enhance the capacity of an optical-interconnect link is utilizing advanced multiplexing technologies, like wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM), polarization-division multiplexing (PDM), spatial-division multiplexing (SDM), bi-directional multiplexing, etc. On-chip (de)multiplexers are necessary as key components for realizing these multiplexing systems and they are desired to have small footprints due to the limited physical space for on-chip optical interconnects. As silicon photonics has provided a very attractive platform to build ultrasmall photonic integrated devices with CMOS-compatible processes, in this paper we focus on the discussion of silicon-based (de)multiplexers, including WDM filters, PDM devices, and SDM devices. The demand of devices to realize a hybrid multiplexing technology (combining WDM, PDM and SDM) as well as a bidirectional multiplexing technologies are also discussed to achieve Peta-bit optical interconnects.

“…Optical devices are mostly made using III-V semiconductors, but recently silicon based optical devices has attracted a lot of interest for both digital and analogue applications [LIA05a,LIP06,PIN08,BRI12,MAN10]. The main advantage of silicon photonics technology is the possibility of monolithic integration of photonics and electronics using cost-effective CMOS technology [PIN08]. Optical modulators, photo-detectors, filters, and other optical components using Si have been demonstrated for FTTH networks aimed at reducing the cost [ZHA10a].…”
