Vertically integrated spot-size converter in AlGaAs-GaAs.
We report on the demonstration of a spot size converter (SSC) for monolithic photonic integration at a wavelength of 850 nm on a GaAs substrate. We designed and fabricated a dual-waveguide AlGaAs chip. The design consists of a lower waveguide layer for efficient end-fire coupling to a single-mode fiber, an upper waveguide layer for high refractive index contrast waveguides, and a vertical SSC t...
متن کاملEnhancing optical isolator performance in nonreciprocal waveguide arrays.
We investigate the operation of optical isolators based on magneto-optics waveguide arrays beyond the coupled mode analysis. Semi-vectorial beam propagation simulations demonstrate that evanescent tail coupling and the effects of radiation are responsible for degrading the device's performance. Our analysis suggests that these effects can be mitigated when the array size is scaled up. In additi...
متن کاملExtremely low-loss vertically-tapered spot size converter in InP-based waveguide structure
Low-loss spot size converters (SSC) are important elements for coupling photonic integrated circuits to fibres. We have developed a Cl2-based inductively-coupled-plasma process to etch non-selectively InP and photo-resist (PR). This process was then used to transfer a vertically-tapered PR pattern into an InP/InGaAsP structure. The tapered PR pattern was made using a standard optical lithograph...
متن کاملA 1.55-μm Hybrid Integrated Wavelength-Converter Module Using Spot-Size Converter Integrated Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers on a Planar-Lightwave-Circuit Platform∗∗
A 1.55-μm hybrid integrated wavelengthconverter module was fabricated using a two-channel spot-size converter integrated semiconductor optical amplifier (SS-SOA) on a planar-lightwave-circuit (PLC) platform. Clear eye opening and penalty-free wavelength conversion were obtained at 2.5Gb/s modulation with a wide wavelength difference of 46 nm. The module showed good characteristics including low...
متن کاملDesigning an Integrated All-Optical Analog to Digital Converter
We present the procedure for designing a high speed and low power all-optical analog to digital converter (AO-ADC), by integrating InGaAsP semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with InP based photonic crystal (PhC) drop filters. The self-phase modulation in the SOA can shift the frequency of the Gaussian input pulse. The two output PhC based drop filters are designed to appropriately code the f...
