SILICON PHOTONICS PACKAGING

INO offers silicon photonics packaging and wafer post-processing services. We have the ability to deliver
silicon photonics devices showing very low insertion losses and submicronic optical alignment
repeatability.

Thanks to more than 20 years of experience in multiple applications, INO can assume the packaging critical
challenge. We build custom silicon photonics packages that will meet your specifications. As our specialty is
customization and short series production, this technology is available for transfer in case you are seeking
large volumes. The combination of our multidisciplinary teams expertise, of our coupling methods and of
our state-of-the-art equipment (featuring a < 100 nm and < 0.005 alignment repeatability) enables us to
perform edge and vertical coupling while minimizing losses due to fixation process.

Edge coupling performances:

Losses due to fixation process < 1.5 dB per fiber @ 1571 nm for a MFD @ 2500 nm
Alignment tolerance < 1 m

Vertical coupling performances:

Losses due to fixation process < 0.5 dB
