More Information
Summary:The invention refers to a multifunctional self-sustained hosting apparatus for photonic integrated circuit and/or related chipset system packaging comprising a processed wafer (1); and at least a cavity (2), wherein said cavity (2) is configured to receive a chipset or an optical lens; and at least a V-groove (3), which is configured for receiving at least an in/out optical fiber and optically align said optical fiber with an optical endface of a chipset. The invention also refers to a bidirectional optical sub assembly based on photonic integrated circuit, which comprises said hosting apparatus.The hosting apparatus enables PIC&IC co-packaging allowing to answer current and future requirements in diverse PIC applications. The apparatus provides electrical interconnections using direct-current lines and radio frequency lines, and may host a plurality of chipsets with different dimensions and orientations, providing a high-precision optical coupling between arrays of optical fibers and optical endface of chipsets.
