Abstract
Methods and systems for a photonic interposer are disclosed and may include receiving one or more continuous wave (CW) optical signals in a silicon photonic interposer from an optical source external to the silicon photonic interposer. The received CW optical signals may be processed based on electrical signals received from a CMOS electronics die bonded to the interposer, and modulated optical signals may be received in the interposer via optical couplers on the interposer. Electrical signals may be generated in the interposer based on the received modulated optical signals, and may be communicated to the CMOS electronics die. The generated electrical signals to may be communicated to the CMOS electronics die via copper pillars. The CW optical signals may be received in the interposer from an optical source assembly coupled to the interposer. The CW optical signals may be received from optical fibers coupled to the interposer.
