A Photonic Interposer, A Photonic Arrangement And A Method For Manufacturing A Photonic Interposer

Abstract

The invention relates to a photonic interposer (300) for coupling light between a first optical fiber (200I) and a photonic integrated circuit (100) and between the photonic integrated circuit (100) and a second optical fiber (200O), the photonic interposer (300) comprising a polarization selective beam splitter-/combiner (310) adapted to split an input light beam (400CI) with first and second polarizations, from the first optical fiber (200I), into a first light beam (400AI) and a second light beam (400BI) and to redirect one of the first and second light beams (400AI, 400BI), and the first light beam (400AI) has the first polarization and the second light beam (400BI) has the second polarization which is different from the first polarization; and the polarization selective beam splitter-/combiner (310) is adapted to combine modulated first and second light beams (400AO, 400BO) from the photonic integrated circuit (100) into a combined light beam (400CO) to be coupled to the second optical fiber (220O), and the modulated first and second light beams (400AO, 400BO) are respectively subject to the first and second light beams (400AI, 400BI) being modulated by a same data stream, by the photonic integrated circuit (100).
