W. Hunziker et al., SELF-ALIGNED FLIP-CHIP PACKAGING OF TILTED SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL AMPLIFIER ARRAYS ON SI MOTHERBOARD, Electronics Letters, 31(6), 1995, pp. 488-490
An optical self-aligned flip-chip packaging technique for tilted semic
onductor optical amplifier arrays is reported. It uses a Si motherboar
d with V-grooves for self-alignment between the tilted SOA array and a
ngle polished fibre arrays. Fibre-to-fibre gain of 14 +/- 1 dB and rip
ple +/-0.1 dB without antirefelction coating on the fibres have been a
chieved.
