Abstract
An integrated photonic module includes a semiconductor substrate configured to serve as an optical bench. Alternating layers of insulating and conducting materials are deposited on the substrate and patterned so as to define electrical connections. An optoelectronic chip is mounted on the substrate in contact with the electrical connections. A drive chip is mounted on the substrate so as to provide an electrical drive current to the optoelectronic chip via the electrical connections.
