Abstract:
An optical transceiver can include a transmitter having a photonic integrated circuit, and a receiver having a current-to-voltage converter and a photodetector in electrical communication with the current-to-voltage converter and separate from the photonic integrated circuit. Each of the transmitter and the receiver can include an interconnect member that includes first and second optical paths for the propagation of optical transmit signals and optical receive signals, respectively. The interconnect members of the transmitter and receiver can further define electrical paths that are configured to connect to an underlying substrate at one end, and the transmitter and receiver, respectively. The interconnect members can be separate from each other or can define a single monolithic interconnect member.

Claim (Index 197):
An optical assembly comprising:\n an optically transparent interconnect member configured to be mounted onto a transceiver substrate; a transmitter including a photonic integrated circuit mounted onto the interconnect member, the photonic integrated circuit configured to receive at least one electrical transmit signal from an electrical component, convert the electrical transmit signal to an optical transmit signal, and output the optical transmit signal to be received by an optical transmit waveguide; a receiver including:\n i) a photodetector configured to receive an optical receive signal from an optical receive waveguide, and convert the optical receive signal to a corresponding electrical receive signal that has current levels proportional to an intensity of the received optical receive signal; and \n ii) a current-to-voltage converter configured to receive the electrical receive signal, condition the electrical receive signal, and output the conditioned electrical receive signal, \n wherein the photodetector is physically spaced from the photonic integrated circuit of the transmitter.
