S. Lindgren et al., 24-GHZ MODULATION BANDWIDTH AND PASSIVE ALIGNMENT OF FLIP-CHIP MOUNTED DFB LASER-DIODES, IEEE photonics technology letters, 9(3), 1997, pp. 306-308
High-frequency lasers have been flip-chip mounted on silicon motherboa
rds. Small-signal modulation bandwidths around 24 GHz were obtained. I
t was shown that the bandwidth was not limited by extrinsic parasitics
associated with the mounting scheme. Lasers were passively aligned to
single mode fibers in V-grooves with the self-aligning solder bump te
chnique. By passive alignment 50% of maximum coupling efficiency obtai
ned by active alignment was achieved.
