Hybrid integration of spot-size converted laser diode on planar lightwave circuit platform by passive alignment technique

An index alignment technique was developed for a planar lightwave circuit platform. The technique was successfully applied to the hybrid integration of a spot-size converted laser diode on the platform. The fabricated modules exhibited an average coupling loss of 4.2 dB and a maximum optical output power of 10 mW at an injection current of 70 mA.
