Abstract
We present the required techniques for the successful low loss packaging of integrated photonic devices capable of operating down to 970 mK utilizing photonic wire bonds. This scalable technique is shown to have an insertion loss of less than 2 dB per connection between a SMF-28 single mode fibre and a silicon photonic chip at these temperatures. This technique has shown robustness to thermal cycling and is ultra-high vacuum compatible without the need for any active alignment.
