“…In the past few years, numerous impressive works have been reported in silicon photonics, especially in the study of critical devices such as light sources [2]- [5], fiber couplers [6]- [8], WDM passive devices [9], [10], optical modulators [11]- [13] and Germanium waveguide photodetectors [14]- [16]. To develop a full on-chip optical interconnect, a point-to-point photonic interconnect with on-chip light source, optical modulator and germanium waveguide photodetector is considered to be the basic practice of integration.…”

We proposed and demonstrated a point-to-point photonic interconnect based on a perfectly vertical grating coupler. This bidirectional grating plays double roles of coupling and splitting at the optical input. Based on such a configuration, an electrooptical (E-O) modulator and photonic interconnect were demonstrated. To characterize the photonic interconnect, both the E-O modulator and germanium waveguide photodetector were measured. Finally, an eye diagram test was carried out to study the dynamic performance of the photonic link. The results show that the maximum operation speed is 4 Gb/s.
