Monolithically Integrated InP Wafer-Scale 100-Channel × 10-GHz AWG and Michelson Interferometers for 1-THz-Bandwidth Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generation

Abstract

We discuss monolithic integration of a 100-channel AWG with a 10-GHz channel spacing with 100 Michelson-interferometer-based phase- and amplitude-modulators. The AWG showed approximately 10 dB crosstalk, and the twin-integrated devices comprise a 2” InP wafer.
