چکیده
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 insertion loss (0.1 dB), and high conversion efficiency (−0.2 dB). It also showed stable wavelength conversion for as wide as a 13◦C temperature range. key words: hybrid integration, spot-size converter integrated

Optimization of the Hybrid Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit Platform
In the hybrid silicon platform, active III/V based components are integrated on a silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuit by means of wafer bonding. This is done in a self-aligned back-end process at low temperatures, making it compatible with CMOS-based silicon processing.
