标题： Polymer-based Hybrid Integrated Photonic Devices for Silicon On-chip Modulation and Board-level Optical Interconnects

摘要： 光学接入网络系统需要扩展，以应对信息流量的加速增长，这要求光学和光子组件的成本降低。低成本、易于制造和集成能力的低光损耗聚合物使其在光子应用中具有吸引力。除了被动波导组件外，由聚合物基质掺杂有机非线性染料组成的电光（EO）聚合物已实现了宽射频带宽和低功耗的光调制器。除了板级被动和主动光学组件外，通过将EO聚合物与硅平台进行混合集成，使得芯片级紧凑调制器（几微米到几毫米）成为可能。本文总结了基于聚合物的光调制器和互连的一些最新进展。提出了用于模拟光链路的高线性宽带定向耦合器调制器，以及用于芯片级应用的紧凑且低功耗的硅/聚合物混合槽型光子晶体波导调制器。最近，柔性基板上电子和光子系统的低成本卷对卷制造技术正受到越来越多的关注。还介绍了使用与卷对卷制造平台兼容的微透镜集成45度镜面耦合器的低成本压印/喷墨打印马赫-曾德尔调制器和板对板光互连。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The accelerating increase in information traffic demands the expansion of optical access network systems that require cost reduction of optical and photonic components. Low cost, ease of fabrication, and integration capabilities of low optical-loss polymers make them attractive for photonic applications. In addition to passive wave-guiding components, electro-optic (EO) polymers consisting of a polymeric matrix doped with organic nonlinear chromophores have enabled wide-RF-bandwidth and low-power optical modulators. Beside board level passive and active optical components, compact on-chip modulators (a few 100 micronmeters to a few millimeters) have been made possible by hybrid integration of EO polymers onto the silicon platform. This paper summarizes some of the recent progress in polymer based optical modulators and interconnects. A highly linear, broadband directional coupler modulator for use in analog optical links and compact, and low-power silicon/polymer hybrid slot photonic crystal waveguide modulators for on chip applications are presented. Recently, cost-effective roll-to-roll fabrication of electronic and photonic systems on flexible substrates has been gaining interest. A low-cost imprinted/ink-jet-printed Mach-Zehnder modulator and board-to-board optical interconnects using microlens integrated 45-degree mirror couplers compatible with the roll-to-roll fabrication platforms are also presented.
