MONOLITHIC SILICON COHERENT TRANSCEIVER WITH INTEGRATED LASER AND GAIN ELEMENTS

摘要

Disclosed are structures and methods for a monolithic silicon (Si) coherent transceiver with integrated laser and gain elements wherein an InP chip is bonded to the Si chip in a recess formed in that Si chip.

主权项

1. A monolithic silicon coherent transceiver with integrated laser and gain elements comprising:
a Si substrate having formed thereon a Si waveguide; a recess formed in the Si substrate, said recess having a metal bonding pad deposited upon a bottom surface of the recess; and an InP gain chip positioned in the recess and bonded to the bonding pad such that any gain elements included on the gain chip are in optical communication with the Si waveguide.
