Abstract

We propose an efficient and simple optical interconnection between active semiconductor components by deposition and spin coating. Details of the waveguide design, the fabrication technique, and a promising material combination are given. Experimental results with an integrated laser-polyimide/SiOx (x ~ 2) waveguide combination demonstrate low-threshold (2.0 kA/cm2) laser operation and a low-loss waveguide interconnection (81 percent coupling efficiency) on a GaInAsP/InP chip.
