This paper explores the fundamental optical characteristics and high-power handling capabilities of single-mode polymer waveguides fabricated on glass-epoxy substrates for co-packaged optics (CPO) utilizing external laser sources (ELS). The waveguides exhibit low polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of less than 0.5 dB and low differential group delay (DGD) of less than 0.2 ps in the O-band, along wi...Show More
Fully automatic phase-error calibration across a 256 dual Mach-Zehnder-interferometers-based 8×8 non-blocking silicon photonic switch fabric with polarization diversity was demonstrated. We achieve an ultra-fast and highly accurate calibration by only sampling 3.6 measurement points for one switch state, close to the theoretical limit of 3.Show More
Toward a next generation co-packaged optics (CPO), we have worked on a novel package substrate in which photonics integrated circuits (PICs) are embedded. The substrate can be provided as known good package substrate with optoelectronic conversion function and can be assembled in the same condition as conventional package substrates. In addition, the substrate realizes high-density optical assembl...Show More
We demonstrated high-capacity optical transmission using a polymer-based 1×4 splitter and a single external laser source (ELS) with an extremely high power of +20 dBm per channel, potentially achieving a bandwidth of 3.2 Tbps.Show More
The thermal tolerance of 3D mirror-based polymer optical link for co-packaged optics was demonstrated by both multi-physical analysis and experiment. The thermal-dependent difference of average insertion loss measured in the full O-band was 0.92 dB.Show More
We present polymer-based 1 ×4 Y-splitters with tapered and S-bend waveguides on the glass-epoxy substrate and characterize the optical properties of these splitters using O-band wavelengths and external laser source (ELS) with high optical power exceeding +20 dBm.Show More
For high-density Co-packaged optics, we have proposed an active-optical package substrate, in which silicon photonics are embedded in the substrate with mirror-based optical re-distribution. In this study, imprint technology was introduced for fabricating micro-mirrors to enable high-throughput formation. The novel imprint stepper was developed, and the fabrication of micro-mirrors was demonstrate...Show More
Toward a next generation co-packaged optics, we have worked on a novel packaging substrate working as optoelectronic conversion engine and providing optical redistribution function and detachable optical connector. In this paper, we show design of the test vehicle using 2.3D RDL interposer and provide its thermal and electrical analysis results.Show More
We demonstrate high-power stability of polymer optical waveguide using external laser source. No noticeable loss for short-term continuous input of total optical power of +24.6 dBm with 4-wavelength WDM to the polymer waveguide.Show More
Because traffic toward and inside datacenters is increasing, the power consumption of electrical wiring in ethernet switches for datacenter should be addressed. Co-packaged optics (CPO) is a promising solution, where optical components are integrated into the same package substrate as electrical elements. We have proposed one of the CPO modules, where micro-mirror- based optical redistribution is ...Show More
We designed and fabricated a 200-GHz-spacing, 16-channel, 1 × 4 silicon monolithic wavelength selective switch (WSS), adopting a wavefront control configuration with no waveguide crossings. Its basic switching operations were demonstrated with four wavelength channels.Show More
We experimentally demonstrate multi-band (O- to L-band) monolithic and hybrid photonic integrated wavelength selective switches with fast switching and different data format and data-rates for flexible low-cost 5G/6G optical metro and access distribution networks. We also present results on photonic integrated multiband optical cross-connect switches.Show More
As fiber-optic systems turn toward multi-band transmission (MBT), exploiting the complete low loss window of optical fibers, novel optical components, able to operate in bands other than the conventional C-band, become necessary. In light of this, we report on a multi-band photonic integrated $\mathbf {1\times 2}$ wavelength selective switch (WSS) operating in the O, S, C and L-bands. The photonic...Show More
The design of a novel 1 × M fold-back type wavelength selective switch (WSS), which has fewer waveguide crossings than a conventional integrated WSS, is reported. The WSS is composed of interleavers, 1 × M optical switches, and arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs). Switches are combined with AWGs by fold-back waveguides, and each AWG works as both a demultiplexer and multiplexer thus avoiding center ...Show More
A photonic integrated WSS operating on the S-, C- and L-Band is presented with an average extinction-ratio of -20.40 dB. Crosstalk levels were kept below -20 dB for all bands and experimental results on NRZ OOK data indicate error-free operation for up to 35 Gb/s.Show More
A photonic integrated 1×2 Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) based on a loopback configuration is shown to operate on the C and L-Bands due to the cyclic nature of the employed arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs). An average of -22.59 dB and -20.40 dB were observed in the C and L-band channels respectively. Crosstalk levels are kept below -40 dB on the output port A and below -30 dB on output port B....Show More
A novel bandwidth-reconfigurable optical DCN exploiting photonic-integrated WSS is experimentally assessed. Results show that optical bandwidth can be automatically reallocated according to the traffic patterns with 1.75μs end-to-end latency and 0.015 packet-loss at 0.6 load.Show More
