Multi-chip integration by photonic wire bonding: Connecting surface and edge emitting lasers to silicon chips

We demonstrate coupling of surface and edge emitting InP lasers to silicon photonic chips using photonic wire bonding. We confirm that back-reflections from the silicon chip do not deteriorate the linewidth of the lasers.
