InP-Based Monolithic Integration of Echelle Grating (De)Multiplexer, Passive Waveguide Circuitry and Active Waveguide Devices for Applications in DWDM Transmission Systems

摘要

A building-block platform for monolithic integration of planar (de)multiplexers and passive/active waveguide circuitry into InP-based photonic chips that monitor/control the performance of optical networks is presented. We discuss the design, fabrication and characterization of such integrated components.
