Method and system for a photonic interposer

An integrated optical communication system comprising a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics die coupled to a photonic interposer, the integrated optical communication system being operable to:

• receive a continuous wave (CW) optical signal in the photonic interposer;
• generate a first modulated optical signal by processing the CW optical signal based on a first electrical signal received from the CMOS electronics die;
• communicate the first modulated optical signal out of the photonic interposer via a first optical fiber;
• receive a second modulated optical signal via a second optical fiber;
• and
• generate a second electrical signal in the photonic interposer based on the second modulated optical signal.

A system for communication, the system comprising:

• an integrated optical communication system comprising a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics die coupled to a photonic interposer, the integrated optical communication system being operable to:
• receive a continuous wave (CW) optical signal in the photonics die from an optical source on the photonic interposer;
• generate a first modulated optical signal by modulating the CW optical signal based on a first electrical signal received from the CMOS electronics die;
• communicate the first modulated optical signal out of the photonic interposer via a first optical fiber;
• receive a second modulated optical signal via a second optical fiber;
• and
• generate a second electrical signal in the photonic interposer based on the second modulated optical signal.
