Combining the strength of multiple photonic and electronics concepts in one hybrid and multi-chip platform is a promising solution for the diversification of chips for specific computing tasks to boost performance. Using additive and CMOS compatible one- (OPP) and two-photon polymerization (TPP), i.e. flash-TPP printing, we create low-loss 3D integrated photonic chips for scalable and parallel interconnects, which is challenging to realize in 2D. Here, we demonstrate the CMOS compatibility of such technology by merging polymer-based 3D photonic chips with diverse photonic platforms. We interfaced 3D waveguides on top of semiconductor (GaAs) quantum dot micro-lasers, yielding very high emission collection efficiency into the waveguides at cryogenic temperatures (4 K). Furthermore, we integrated our technology with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platforms by efficiently coupling light from 2D planar SiN waveguides into out-of-plane 3D waveguides. With this, we lay a promising foundation for scalable integration of hybrid photonic and electronic platforms.
