Abstract
We describe hybrid integration technologies that employ silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platforms, and report several high-performance opt ical devices based on these technologies. First, we discuss three technolog ies used in hybrid integration; semiconductor optical device alignment with a silica waveguide, chip bonding using AuSn solder and electrical wiring. In addition, we describe optical components developed for short- and long-h aul networks. We realized these high-performance components by combining ap propriate hybrid integration technologies.
