LIVINGSTON, England, Jan. 14, 2021, —
The OptoCplrLT™ monolithic glass chip from Optoscribe Ltd. is designed for low-loss coupling to silicon photonics grating couplers.
OptoCplrLT™ is designed to overcome fiber-to-silicon photonic integrated circuit coupling challenges to enable high-volume automated assembly and help reduce costs. Created using a high-speed laser writing technique, the chip features low-loss light turning curved mirrors, which are uniquely formed in the glass, to direct the light to or from silicon photonics grating couplers. This prevents the need for bend-tolerant fiber solutions, which are often expensive, challenging, and have limitations in size and profile.
To help address footprint challenges, OptoCplrLT™ has a low-profile interface of <1.5 mm in height, which allows compact interface layouts that alleviate packaging constraints. It is compatible with industry-standard materials and processes. The glass chip has a coefficient of thermal expansion matched to the silicon chip, helping to maximize performance.
