Abstract
We propose an efficient and simple optical interconnection between active semiconductor components by deposition and spin coating. Details of the waveguide design, the fabrication technique, and a promising material combination are given. Experimental results with an integrated laser-polyimide/SiO x (x ~ 2) waveguide combination demonstrate low-threshold (2.0 kA/cm 2) laser operation and a low-loss waveguide interconnection (81 percent coupling efficiency) on a GaInAaP/InP chip.
