An early study comparing ways to bring laser light into the photonic circuit, such as an external laser, a flip-chip mounted laser, bonded gain material or micro-optic coupling.
Analysis Work product in the Silicon photonics and optical interconnect lifecycle
Silicon does not emit light efficiently, so how the laser is integrated is a key architecture choice that affects power, cost and reliability. A team that commits to an option without a study may find, only after the package concept is fixed, that it cannot meet the power, thermal or cost targets.
