Abstract
A photonics package is described. The photonics package includes a thin film lithium-containing (TFLC) photonics integrated circuit (PIC), an additional integrated circuit, and an interposer. The TFLC PIC includes an electrode and a TFLC optical component. The TFLC component includes at least one TFLC electro-optic material. The interposer is coupled with the TFLC PIC and the additional IC. At least one of the TFLC PIC or the interposer is configured such that a portion of the TFLC PIC is separated from an other component by an air cladding region.
