A fiber optic device includes a support having one or more optical fibers coupled to the support and a base that includes one or more optoelectronic devices. The support is coupled to the base such that one or more of the optoelectronic devices are optically coupled to one or more of the optical fibers. A portion of the one or more optical fibers that is in contact with the support may be bent and one or more of the optoelectronic devices may be optically coupled to the bent portion of one or more of the optical fibers.

A circuit board substrate includes a reinforcing element embedded in a resin material. The reinforcing element includes an optical waveguide. The circuit board substrate can be used in electronic devices as a printed circuit board or the like. A circuit board substrate for use in electronic devices can be formed by embedding a reinforcing element comprising an optical waveguide in a resin. The optical waveguide can be coupled to optical signal transmission and reception elements to transmit an optical signal through the reinforcing element. The optical waveguide may be an optical fiber or the like in some examples.

An electronic device and associated methods are disclosed. In one example, the electronic device includes a laser package. In selected examples, the laser package can include a substrate having a substrate front surface and defining a cavity that extends into the substrate front surface. The laser package can further include a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) attached to the substrate within the cavity at a first surface of the PIC, and laser circuitry communicably coupled to a second surface of the PIC opposite the first surface.

An optical module includes: a quantum photonic integrated circuit; a temperature controller; and a housing configured to house the photonic integrated circuit and the temperature controller. The photonic integrated circuit is attached to the temperature controller, such that the photonic integrated circuit is in thermal communication with the temperature controller, and the temperature controller is attached directly to the housing, such that the temperature controller is in direct thermal communication with the housing.

A compact, wavelength-stabilized laser source is provided by utilizing a specialty gain element (i.e., formed to include a curved waveguide topology), where a separate wavelength stabilization component (for example, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)) is used one of the mirrors for the laser cavity. That is, the FBG takes the place of the physical “front facet” of the gain element, and functions to define the laser cavity in the first instance, while also utilizing the grating structure to impart the desired wavelength stability to the output from the packaged laser source. As a result, the FBG is disposed within the same package used to house the gain element and provides a wavelength-stabilized laser source in a compact form.

An optoelectronic module. In some embodiments, the module includes: a housing, a substantially planar subcarrier, a photonic integrated circuit, and an analog electronic integrated circuit. The subcarrier has a thermal conductivity greater than 10 W/m/K. The photonic integrated circuit and the analog electronic integrated circuit are secured to a first side of the subcarrier, and the subcarrier is secured to a first wall of the housing. A second side of the subcarrier, opposite the first side of the subcarrier, is parallel to, secured to, and in thermal contact with, an interior side of the first wall of the housing.

The technology relates to an integrated circuit (IC) package. The IC package may include a substrate. An IC die may be mounted to the substrate. One or more photonic modules may be attached to the substrate and one or more serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interfaces may connect the IC die to the one or more photonic modules. The IC die may be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) die and the one or more photonic modules may include a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and fiber array. The one or more photonic modules may be mounted to one or more additional substrates which may be attached to the substrate via one or more sockets.

One example includes an optical fiber interface. The interface includes a first substrate comprising a pair of opposing surfaces. The substrate includes an opening extending therethrough that defines an inner periphery. One surface of the opposing surfaces of the first substrate can be configured to be bonded to a given surface of a second substrate. The interface also includes a plurality of optical fibers secured to the other opposing surface of the first substrate and extending inwardly from a plurality of surfaces of the inner periphery at fixed locations to align the set of optical fibers to optical inputs/outputs (I/O) of an optical system chip that is coupled to the given surface of the second substrate and received through the opening.

An optical transceiver comprises a transmitter and a receiver housed in a transistor outline (TO) can. The receiver comprises a first submount comprising at least one waveguide, a photodiode coupled to the first submount and the at least one waveguide, and a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) coupled to the first submount and the at least one waveguide, wherein the at least one waveguide couples the photodiode to the TIA, wherein the at least one waveguide is positioned on the first submount in between the photodiode and the TIA.

An optical module includes: an optical assembly, including a light receiving assembly and/or a light transmitting assembly; a printed circuit board, on which the optical assembly is mounted; an adapter, used for docking with external connectors, wherein the adapter is configured to fit the optical assembly and to be fixed to the printed circuit board, and the adapter includes a metal part and a plastic part; and a conductive shell, used for accommodating the printed circuit board, the optical assembly, and the adapter, the conductive shell being electrically connected to the metal part of the adapter.
