Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for providing a bridge between integrated circuit (IC) chips. In an embodiment, the bridge device comprises a semiconductor substrate having disposed thereon contacts to couple the bridge device to two IC chips. Circuit structures and photonic structures of a bridge link are integrated with the substrate. The structures include an optical waveguide coupled between an electrical-to-optical signal conversion mechanism and an optical-to-electrical conversion mechanism. The bridge device converts signaling from an electrical domain to an optical domain and back to an electrical domain. In another embodiment, optical signals received via different respective contacts of an IC chip are converted by the bridge device, where the optical signals are multiplexed with each other and variously propagated with the same optical waveguide.

Claim (Index 4):
The device of  claim 2  further, comprising:\n a first photodetector formed in the silicon layer of the semiconductor substrate, the first photodetector coupled to receive the first signal from the first waveguide and to generate a second electrical signal.
