Patent attributes
An optical transceiver includes a silicon photonics substrate and multiple devices. The devices are configured to process optical signals propagating to and from the optical transceiver, and to perform at least one of an optical-to-electrical conversion of received optical signals to incoming electric signals and an electrical-to-optical conversion of outgoing electric signals to transmitted optical signals. The devices are each fabricated to include respectively a package substrate configured according to one of multiple different package substrate mounting technologies. Each package substrate among the multiple devices is mounted on the silicon photonics substrate according to mounting requirements of the respective package substrate mounting technology of that package substrate. At least two of the package substrates are mounted according to the mounting requirements of different package substrate mounting technologies.
