Abstract
Improved systems and methods are provided to implement coherent communication. The system includes an interposer to route the components of an integrated photonic circuit. The interposer provides an interface to couple the components of the integrated photonic circuit including an optical source, modulator, coherent transmitter, coherent receiver, and interconnects therebetween. The optical source can be a grating-coupled surface-emitting laser (GCSEL). The GCSEL splits an optical signal into two symmetrical optical signals that are directed by a waveguide to a coherent transmitter and/or a coherent receiver of the integrated photonic circuit. Coherent communication is maintained and the need for a second laser in the coherent receiver is avoided through the structure of the GCSEL granting dual functional to the optical source.
