Abstract

An optical interconnect transmitter based on guided-wave silicon optical bench is demonstrated. The guided-wave silicon optical bench (GW-SiOB) is developed on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The three-dimensional guided-wave optical paths on the silicon optical bench are realized using trapezoidal waveguides monolithically integrated with 45° micro-reflectors. Such three-dimensional guided-w ave optical paths of SiOB would simplify and shrink the intra-chip optical interconnects located on a SOI substrate. The clearly open eye patterns operated at a data rate of 5 Gbps verifies the proposed GW-SiOB is suitable for intra-chip optical interconnects.
