    Abstract: An optical modulator that modulates light through the semiconductor substrate through the back side of an integrated circuit die. In one embodiment, an optical modulator is disposed within a flip chip packaged integrated circuit die. The optical modulator includes a modulation region through which an optical beam is passed a plurality of times. In one embodiment, the optical beam enters through the back side of the semiconductor substrate at a first location and the modulated optical beam is deflected out through a second location on the back side of the semiconductor substrate. The interaction length of the optical modulator is increased by internally deflecting and passing the optical beam through the modulation region a plurality of times. In one embodiment, total internal reflection is used to deflect the optical beam. In another embodiment, reflective materials are used to internally deflect the optical beam. In one embodiment, the modulation region is provided with a charged region formed with a p-n junction. In another embodiment, the charged region is provided using metal-oxide-semiconductor type structures.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method electrically pumping a hybrid evanescent laser. For one example, an apparatus includes an optical waveguide disposed in silicon. An active semiconductor material is disposed over the optical waveguide defining an evanescent coupling interface between the optical waveguide and the active semiconductor material such that an optical mode to be guided by the optical waveguide overlaps both the optical waveguide and the active semiconductor material. A current injection path is defined through the active semiconductor material and at least partially overlapping the optical mode such that light is generated in response to electrical pumping of the active semiconductor material in response to current injection along the current injection path at least partially overlapping the optical mode.
