Optical Proximity Communication in packaged SiPhotonics

We report 10Gb/s optical-proximity-communication with reflecting mirrors micro-machined into Si and co-integrated to low loss SOI waveguides for chip to chip communication using a self-aligned-packaging mechanism with measured 4.0 dB coupling loss.
