Abstract
Methods and systems for hybrid integration of optical communication systems may comprise in an optical communication system comprising a silicon photonics die and one or more electronics die bonded to said silicon photonics die utilizing metal interconnects: receiving one or more continuous wave (CW) non-modulated optical signals in said silicon photonics die from an optical source external to said silicon photonics die; modulating said one or more received CW non-modulated optical signals in said silicon photonics die using electrical signals received from said one or more electronics die via said metal interconnects; receiving modulated optical signals in said silicon photonics die from one or more optical fibers coupled to said silicon photonics die; generating electrical signals in said silicon photonics die based on said received modulated optical signals; and communicating said generated electrical signals to at least one of said one or more electronics die via said metal interconnects.
