Claims20
An optical module comprising:
- an integrated circuit fabricated on a silicon wafer, the integrated circuit having at least one optical window there through, wherein the at least one optical window is at least one hole that allows light pulses to pass through the at least one optical window of the integrated circuit;
- a plurality of optoelectronic devices positioned in alignment with the at least one optical window such that optical input or optical output from the plurality of optoelectronic devices can pass through the at least one optical window of the integrated circuit, wherein the plurality of optoelectronic devices are flip chip attached to the integrated circuit;
- a carrier having a cutout therein, wherein the carrier is flip chip attached to the integrated circuit, wherein the cutout is used to accommodate the plurality of optoelectronic devices.
