Abstract
Technologies for integrated graded index (GRIN) lenses for photonic circuits is disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment, a glass substrate has a cavity in which a GRIN lens is disposed. In other embodiments, the GRIN lens may be on a surface of the glass substrate. The GRIN lens focuses and collimates light to a free-space beam from a waveguide defined in the glass substrate. Another component such as a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die may also have a GRIN lens and focus the free-space beam into a waveguide in the PIC die. The use of GRIN lenses allows for passive coupling to waveguides without further active alignment that minimizes signal transmission losses.
