A switch module includes a switch integrated circuit (IC), a silicon photonics chips, and an interface having removably coupled first side and second side. The first side includes a lens array optically coupled to a SiP chip and the second side includes a connector having a plurality of planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) optically coupled to another lens array.

Optical interconnect for switch applications

A switch module includes a switch integrated circuit (IC), a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The PIC may include a plurality of light sources, an optical splitter, and a plurality of modulators. A dual MEMS may be used to align lens arrays, which may be used to couple light from the PIC to the PLC.

Optical module for terabit switch

Roughly described, an integrated optical device includes both a PLC chip and an attached SiPh chip. The PLC chip has a PLC waveguide which terminates at an end facet. The SiPh chip has a SiPh waveguide which includes a Bragg grating which diffracts light from the SiPh waveguide toward the PLC chip. The PLC chip also has a turning mirror to reflect light emitted from the Bragg grating onto the end facet of the PLC waveguide. The Bragg grating is designed to direct light emitted from the Bragg grating into the end facet of the PLC waveguide so that after reflecting off the turning mirror the light focuses within one Rayleigh distance of the end facet of the PLC chip.

Optical transceiver

A switch module includes a switch integrated circuit (IC), an InP chip, and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The InP chip may include a plurality of light sources, an optical splitter, and a plurality of modulators.

Optical interconnect having optical splitters and modulators integrated on same chip

An assembly of waveguide wavelength multiplexers and demultiplexers, together with continuous wave (CW) laser transmitters that interface to grating couplers on a silicon photonics chip, providing CW sources, multiplexed output and optionally multiplexed input, all using a single photonic lightwave circuit (PLC).
