A new compact electrically controlled surface plasmon polariton (SPP) absorption modulator operating at communication wavelengths is introduced. The modulator is controlled by changing the free carrier density and thereby the propagation loss of the SPP.

Photonic integration requires a versatile packaging technology that enables low-loss interconnects between photonic chips in three-dimensional configurations. In this paper we introduce the concept of photonic wire bonding, where polymer waveguides with three-dimensional freeform geometries are used to bridge the gap between nanophotonic circuits located on different chips. In a proof-of-principle experiment, we demonstrate the fabrication of single-mode photonic wire bonds (PWB) by direct-write two-photon lithography. First-generation prototypes allow for efficient broadband coupling with average insertion losses of only 1.6 dB in the C-band and can carry wavelength-division multiplexing signals with multi-Tbit/s data rates. Photonic wire bonding is well suited for automated mass production, and we expect the technology to enable optical multi-chip systems with enhanced performance and flexibility.Photonic integration has witnessed tremendous progress over the last years, and chip-scale transceiver systems with Terabit/s data rates have come into reach. However, as on-chip integration density increases, efficient off-chip interfaces are becoming more and more crucial. A technological breakthrough is considered indispensable to cope with the challenges arising from large-scale photonic integration, and this particularly applies to short-distance optical interconnects. In this letter we introduce the concept of photonic wire bonding, where transparent waveguide wire bonds are used to bridge the gap between nanophotonic circuits located on different chips. We demonstrate for the first time the fabrication of three-dimensional freeform photonic wire bonds (PWB), and we confirm their viability in a multi-Terabit/s data transmission experiment. First-generation prototypes allow for efficient broadband coupling with overall losses of only 1.6 dB. Photonic wire bonding will enable flexible optical multi-chip assemblies, thereby challenging the current paradigm of highly-complex monolithic integration.

Photonic wire bonding is demonstrated to enable highly efficient coupling between multicore fibers and planar silicon photonic circuits. The technique relies on in-situ fabrication of three-dimensional interconnect waveguides between the fiber facet and tapered silicon-on-insulator waveguides. Photonic wire bonding can easily compensate inaccuracies of core placement in the fiber cross-section, does not require active alignment, and is well suited for automated fabrication. We report on the design, on fabrication, and on characterization of photonic wire bonds. In a proof-of-principle experiment, a four-core fiber is coupled to a silicon photonic chip, leading to measured coupling losses as small as 1.7 dB.

Efficient coupling of III-V light sources to silicon photonic circuits is one of the key challenges of integrated optics. Important requirements are low coupling losses, as well as small footprint and high yield of the overall assembly, along with the ability to use automated processes for large-scale production. In this paper, we demonstrate that photonic wire bonding addresses these challenges by exploiting direct-write two-photon lithography for in-situ fabrication of three-dimensional freeform waveguides between optical chips. In a series proof-of-concept experiments, we connect InP-based horizontal-cavity surface emitting lasers (HCSEL) to passive silicon photonic circuits with insertion losses down to 0.4 dB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most efficient interface between an InP light source and a silicon photonic chip that has so far been demonstrated. Our experiments represent a key step in advancing photonic wire bonding to a universal integration platform for hybrid photonic multi-chip assemblies that combine known-good dies of different materials to high-performance hybrid multi-chip modules.
