Integrated Opto-Electronics

SRA Center at IIT Hyderabad

Design & Fabrication of Next-Gen Modules

Coordinated by Prof. Naresh Emani (IIT Hyderabad)

The Integrated Opto-Electronics program at IIT Hyderabad focuses on developing high-bandwidth, power-efficient optical modules for next-generation computing and AI accelerators. By integrating photonic circuits directly on glass substrates, the center aims to overcome the copper interconnect bottleneck, enabling high-performance chiplet-to-chiplet and rack-to-rack optical links.

Key Research Focus Areas

🎛️

Glass-Integrated Waveguides

Designing low-loss optical waveguides embedded within glass panels to guide light directly between silicon chiplets.

⚙️

Hybrid Bonding to Glass

Development of wafer-level copper/dielectric hybrid bonding techniques on glass substrates for sub-micron pitch electrical and optical contacts.

🔬

Fiber Array Alignment

Automatic sub-micron passive and active alignment techniques for coupling fiber arrays directly to integrated waveguides.

High Bandwidth Modules

Optimizing transceiver packaging designs to support superior bandwidth density and ultra-low power consumption.
