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 1):
An interconnect member configured to be mounted onto a substrate, the interconnect member comprising:\n an optical coupler having at least one optically transmissive path configured to conduct optical signals from an origination surface of the interconnect member to a termination surface of the interconnect member; and an electrical interposer monolithic with the optical coupler, the electrical interposer including a plurality of electrically conductive vias that extend from a first surface of the interconnect member to a second surface of the interconnect member, wherein the electrically conductive vias are configured to be placed in electrical communication with at least one electrical component of a transceiver at the first surface, and further configured to be placed in electrical communication with the substrate at the second surface.
