TL;DR: 1-to-8 wavelength (de-)multiplexer devices based on a binary tree of cascaded Mach-Zehnder-like lattice filters, and manufactured using a 90 nm CMOS-integrated silicon photonics technology, demonstrate that they combine a flat pass-band over more than 50% of the channel spacing with low insertion loss.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chip-like optoelectronic packaging structure (Optochip), assembled directly onto an organic card (Optocard), is developed for supporting terabit/second chip-to-chip data transfers over organic cards within high-performance servers, switch routers, and other intensive computing systems.

TL;DR: The first sub-100nm technology that allows the monolithic integration of optical modulators and germanium photodetectors as features into a current 90nm base high-performance logic technology node is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The fabrication and characterization of board-integrated optical low-loss polymer waveguides that are compatible with printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing processes are reported on, and the fully passive alignment technique, superseding time-consuming active positioning of components and connectors is explained.

TL;DR: A new single-mode polymer waveguide technology and a scalable method for building the optical interface between silicon photonics chips and single- mode polymer waveguides are presented.
