Abstract

A photonic engine for the integration of multi-lane optical transceivers is presented. The building blocks are InP-based electro-absorption modulated lasers and photodiodes capable of operating at 50 GBaud with PAM-4 modulation, and a low-cost polymer waveguiding chip providing routing of the multiple lanes and connectivity towards standard single-mode fibers. An automatic process for the hybrid assembly of the different building blocks has been developed, and photonic integrated circuits with up to 16 lanes have been demonstrated. Furthermore, high-frequency flexible interconnects with bandwidths beyond 100 GHz provide a connectivity solution between photonics and high-speed electronics.
