Summary:The combination of hybrid integration technology with guided‐wave optical technology is expected to provide more functional optical devices with high performance, compactness, and high productivity. This paper reviews recent developments in the hybrid integration of optical and electronic components with a silica‐based planar lightwave circuit on silicon. First, edge‐hybrid, surface‐hybrid, and film‐hybrid integration technologies are described. Next, basic technical issues concerning optical component integration, electronic component integration, and packaging are discussed. Emphasis is placed on optical alignment, component fixing, mode‐field matching, and antireflection techniques in the optical component integration. Finally, examples of fabricated hybrid‐integrated optical devices are presented.

Mario Kobayashi received his B.S. degree in Applied Physics from the Science University of Tokyo in 1967, his M.S. degree in Applied Physics from Osaka City University in 1969. and his Ph.D. degree from Osaka University in 1986. In 1969, he joined NTT Laboratories where, from 1969 to 1993, he was engaged in research on electrophotography and guided‐wave optical devices. In 1993, he joined Teijin Seiki Co., Ltd., where he leads optical sensor development as General Manager of the Yokohama Development Center. Dr. Kobayashi is a member of the IEEE, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, and the Japan Society of Applied Physics.
Kuniharu Kato received his B.E. degree from Ibaraki University in 1978 and then joined NTT Electrical Communications Laboratories, Musashino, Japan. From 1978 to 1984, he was engaged in the research and development of power semiconductor devices. Since 1984, he has been engaged in research and development of optical components for fiber‐optic communication systems. He is now with NTT Opto‐Electronics Laboratories. Mr. Kato is a member of the Institute of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineers of Japan (IEICEJ).
