ARRAYED OPTICAL DEVICE BLOCK FOR PHOTONIC INTEGRATION
摘要
Included is an apparatus comprising a first circuit component comprising a plurality of optical devices each having an optical input port and an optical output port. All of the optical input ports and all of the optical output ports are positioned on a first side of the circuit component. Also included is a circuit component comprising a plurality of optical devices. The circuit component further comprises a plurality of electrical inputs coupled to the optical devices and positioned on a first side of the circuit component. The circuit component also comprises a plurality of optical input ports coupled to the optical devices and positioned on a second side of the circuit component that does not share any edges with the first side.
