Abstract
Techniques for signal amplification for a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an optical fiber is coupled to an input signal waveguide in a glass interposer, and an input signal waveguide of a PIC die is coupled to the input signal waveguide of the glass interposer. In order to compensate for any coupling losses, the input signal waveguide of the glass interposer is active, amplifying an input signal. Light in a pump waveguide near the input signal waveguide pumps ions in the input signal waveguide into a population inversion, allowing them to amplify the input signal.
