Abstract:
An integrated optoelectronic circuit comprising:a first flexible dielectric substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface; a polymer electro-optic waveguide positioned on or embedded within the flexible dielectric substrate and receptive of an optical signal; a ground electrode positioned along the electro-optic waveguide; a signal electrode positioned along the electro-optic waveguide opposite the ground electrode; a first microchip including a first modulator receptive of a modulating signal, the microchip positioned on the first flexible dielectric substrate; a first patterned metallization layer positioned on the first flexible dielectric substrate coupling the ground electrode to the modulator; a second flexible dielectric substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, the second flexible dielectric substrate positioned along the first flexible dielectric substrate; and a second patterned metallization layer positioned on the second flexible dielectric substrate coupling the signal electrode to the modulator.
