Abstract
Methods and systems for a photonic interposer may include receiving a continuous wave (CW) optical signal in a silicon photonic interposer from an optical source. A modulated optical signal may be generated by processing the received CW optical signal based on a first electrical signal received from an electronics die. A second electrical signal may be generated in the silicon photonic interposer based on the generated modulated optical signal, and may then be communicated to the electronics die via copper pillars. Optical signals may be communicated into and/or out of the silicon photonic interposer utilizing grating couplers. The electronics die may comprise one or more of a processor core, a switch core, memory, or a router.
