Embodiment Construction

[0027] Certain aspects of the present invention can be found in methods and systems for optoelectronic transceivers integrated on CMOS chips. Exemplary aspects of the invention may include receiving optical signals from one or more optical fibers via a grating coupler on the top surface of the CMOS chip. Optical signals can be converted to electrical signals via one or more photodetectors integrated in or on the CMOS chip. Electrical signals can be processed via circuits in the CMOS chip. A continuous wave (CW) optical signal may be received from a laser source via a grating coupler on the top surface of the CMOS chip and may be modulated via one or more optical modulators integrated in or on the CMOS chip . Electrical signals can be received via circuitry in the CMOS chip and can drive the one or more optical modulators. The modulated optical signal can be transmitted out of the top surface of the CMOS chip into one or more optical fibers via one or more grating couplers i...

Abstract

Methods and systems for optoelectronics transceivers integrated on a CMOS chip are disclosed and may include receiving optical signals from optical fibers via grating couplers on a top surface of a CMOS chip, which may include a guard ring. Photodetectors may be integrated in the CMOS chip. A CW optical signal may be received from a laser source via grating couplers, and may be modulated using optical modulators, which may be Mach-Zehnder and / or ring modulators. Circuitry in the CMOS chip may drive the optical modulators. The modulated optical signal may be communicated out of the top surface of the CMOS chip into optical fibers via grating couplers. The received optical signals may be communicated between devices via waveguides. The photodetectors may include germanium waveguide photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, and / or heterojunction diodes. The CW optical signal may be generated using an edge-emitting and / or a vertical-cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser.
