PHOTONIC INTEGRATED TRANSMITTER DEVICE, PHOTONIC INTEGRATED RECEIVER DEVICE, AND ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE TRANSCEIVER SYSTEM

摘要

A photonic integrated transmitter device (21) is provided, comprising: a substrate (1), an array of modulated light sources (4.1,..., 4.n), each light source providing a modulated signal output at a channel wavelength different from the channel wavelength from other modulated light sources of the array of modulated light sources (4.1,..., 4.n), an optical fiber interface (12), configured to receive an end portion (11) of an optical fiber cable (8), and a division-wavelength multiplexer (7), wherein the division-wavelength multiplexer (7) is provided in the substrate (1) and is optically connected to the array of modulated light sources (4.1,..., 4.n) and the optical fiber interface (12) via a first and second optical waveguide (5, 10), respectively. Furthermore, a photonic integrated receiver device and an active optical cable transceiver system are provided.
