Disclosed herein are light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems and methods for manufacturing the same. The LIDAR systems may include microelectronics packages that may include a chassis, an insert, a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), and a lid. The chassis may define an opening. The insert is sized to be received in the opening. The insert is made of a thermally conductive material. The PIC is attached to the insert. The lid is connected to the chassis and defines a cavity that encases the PIC. Both the insert and the lid form thermally conductive pathways away from the PIC.

Silicon photonic systems for LIDAR applications

In one embodiment, a package includes: a substrate; a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) adapted to the substrate, the PIC including at least one optical circuit, a first plurality of waveguides, a second plurality of waveguides, and a laser to output optical energy via the first plurality of waveguides; and a prism assembly adapted to the substrate to reflect the optical energy output from the first plurality of waveguides to the second plurality of waveguides, the prism assembly including a prism and at least one isolator. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

System, apparatus and method for integrating laser and optical circuitry on a photonics integrated circuit using an assembly having a prism and isolator

A balanced photodetector may include: a balanced photodetector including a first photodiode and a second photodiode coupled with one another at a common node, wherein the first photodiode has a first effective responsivity and the second photodiode has as second effective responsivity; and a control circuit configured to set an operating parameter of the balanced photodetector to compensate for a difference between the first effective responsivity and the second effective responsivity.
