The technologies associated with integration and packaging have a significant impact on the overall system. In this paper, we review a silicon photonic “macrochip” system and its associated packaging that will allow dense wavelength-division multiplexed optical links to be intimately integrated and co-manufactured with the switching electronics. For this to happen, we anticipate a number of integration and packaging advances.
